E-Bow... The Letter
Aug. 3rd, 2011 06:50 pmStudio session #456,845,375,001 for the World's Longest Album Project completed.
And I was pretty happy with the results. After a couple of hours fixing & mixing keyboard & bass parts, I recorded two rhythm guitar parts, two 'middle 8' melodies & two solos.
I was particularly happy about the solos as they were played on my ancient E-bow, which I make a point of trying to include in every recording or playing project I do & this was the first opportunity I'd had with this album. Job done.
I detect a bit of an upswing in my musical mood, which started with my L-SP's gift of an Irish Bouzouki (or Octave Mandolin if you prefer) for my last birthday & strengthened with last night's efforts. While I was waiting around as the Engineer played with basslines in ProTools, I played both my main electric & acoustic guitars along with the bass parts ~ ostensibly to warm up, but with an increasing awareness of awakening creativity & composition. Nothing of any note, or use, was really forthcoming, but at least the desire & will to play were actively engaged for the first time in a looong time.
My medium-term goal is still to complete my computer set-up as a kind of 'SketchPad Studio' (TM), with the even longer-term goal of submitting to my latent Muse & seeing what may come...
