Another “quickie.”
This song has probably been covered to death. So I had to find a way to set my version apart from the rest. I decided to do disregard the “meter” and used inflections that are similar to when the words are spoken instead of sung.
It’ll definitely sound weird if you’re used to hearing the original version, and I apologize if some would think that I massacred the song in the process. Read More
Yay, after all the quickie covers, I got to finish another original composition!
This song is very late; the “inspiration” [if you can call it that], was potent a few years ago when the “scars” were still fresh. A few days ago, I figured I’d sit down and finish the thing since all the songs I’ve been putting recently out not only weren’t originals, but were all “mellow” and shit. So here’s some rock for a change of pace. Read More
This “quickie” is dedicated to the children of the 80s. If you were truly part of that era, and are anywhere near “cool” you should know this song.
As the YouTube generation has proven, content trumps production quality. You could have something done with the crappiest camera on earth and still be an internet success if the material is interesting enough.
Unfortunately, audio/music isn’t that forgiving. Your senses are narrowed down to one thing; hearing – and all judgment will boil down to your personal musical taste, and more importantly the actual quality of the recording.
I’ve always been meaning to put out a sample of my raw sources just to give people an idea of how much work I have to put in to “improve” the sound before I post anything on the site. Hopefully this would help them appreciate the songs a bit more (hey, every little thing counts hahaha).
I guess this is because for the songs in my site, I’m artist, engineer, and producer. I found that the latter titles put so much more pressure on me than simply being an “artist.” As an artist, fellow musicians will know if you got the chops or not, regardless of public opinion.
But the others… especially being a producer – you have the task of applying what you think should be the “proper treatment” of a piece that will be palatable to the public. Only people that have tried to “produce” can truly grasp the pressure one could get from that sort of responsibility. Read More
