November has seen a rough patch for me personally and has slowed down work on my project.
However I have quickly got back on track.
over the past two weeks I've put in roughly 24 hours work into the composing of the songs I will be recording for my website.
The first of the three pieces is a nice purely acoustic instrumental which exploits the finger picking technique in the rythm guitar parts whilst a soft but strong melody line is taken up by the lead acoustic using the Phrygian mode to add a spanish flavour to the piece.
The second piece is a more straight forward rock orientated peice, nice and up tempo with a good groove to tap your feet to and I've added in some cheeky little guitar fills in places you wouldnt expect them. I am most excited about this piece.
The third piece which I have begun but not yet completed is a funk inspired piece with allot of focus on the bass guitar parts to hold the groove with the guitar complimenting it, an intriguing piece to me as I have not structured it, I'm just letting it flow and see how it ends up.
On Saturday I am going to start the recording process for all the completed pieces so far after a recent purchase of some new technology to make my musical life ever more easy to express, this purchase is an M-box & pro tools software at a bargain price. Home recording all the way & means that the christmas break will be a severly busy one.
My latest action taken for my project was a photo shoot I had last night.
A good friend of a photography course was kind enough to do the shoot for me.
The photos will be part of my website and consist of shots from me playing to standing to the equipment and a very professional look to them.
Next week will see the full construction of my website also begins, I am keeping it underwraps for now from everyone and trying to make a decent launch of it.
So that is where I am up to now, I will update this again before the week is out and probably everyother day over christmas.
Sleep is calling me.
