I'm not listening to anything right now. Just the keys being pressed on my board here. Tappa tappa tappa ( Read more... )

So I've pretty much finished all the instruments for "Simply Strange" tonight. Last things I needed to finish up were the steel drums, the solos and the synth. Listening to it right now. Still need to do vocals, but that needs to be done for all of the songs ( Read more... )

I'm glad I don't have to write any songs right now. Because it'd drive me insane not being able to focus tightly enough to paint a worthwhile composition. I keep starting things up and can't finish them because I just can't be satisfied with anything I'm coming up with at the moment. It's pretty frustrating ( Read more... )

"Like Rob Gordon, But Not As Ballsy"

Listen to it.P.S: Fun LQ Trivia! Now, you may not notice it all too much, but during the second half of the bridge and the entire third verse, Tim was actually choking! Fortunately, the power of ( Read more... )

I wrote a really good song that has a very simplistic structure yet a very detailed texture, along with some catchy vocals and a somewhat somber vibe. I'm really likin' it now. I'm going to finish recording it tomorrow, and then put it up on the LQ PureVolume account ( Read more... )
