Recently I've found myself with a lot of time to kill, long story.
i decided that during this time I should to plan out an album of sorts.
I've got all the gear, enough materiel (skill's getting there) and time enough to record.
All i lack now is a decent drummer.
I know I've been promising people an album for about a year now, but THIS time it's gonna happen I promise!
I don't fully know what to call it, i guess i don't want to name it too early.
I like the hopeless names, because it shows more clearly the amazing-ness of what God's done in my life...the whole contrast creating meaning thing.
I.E. if you'd never tasted a lemon you wouldn't appreciate the sweetness of sugar as much.
Unfortunately i seem to have fallen into this image of some guy in an old leather jacket hanging out in a barn with this acoustic!
I don't personally think that my music sounds like this, BUT the image is there and it's kind of annoying me. I'd much rather the slick imagery of some guy in a practise room with his band, dressed in a smart but not flashy T-Shirt with jeans on.
Something where the sounds of saturated delay fits.
Any way, for this i need a drummer! Oh and some charts, but that's my fault that I don't have any yet.
i think i might be asking a little too much in a drummer right a the moment.
I would LOVE some one who's gone through Jazz School....problem is I have zero credit to my name, so noone that good would want to be in my band.
Perhaps I should just go with who ever is willing.
Lyrics seem to be escaping me too. It kinda sucks. But oh well, they'll come back I hope.
Plenty more walks around the city should do it.
Perhaps I need to find another concept...although this will not be a concept album I'm afraid, just can't get my head around it! I really need some kind of music writing software perhaps.
come to think of it, i haven't ever graphed this!!! Wow, that's not like me.
okay that's step one. Graphing!
I will post when i know more.
Enjoy,
Jonny.
