"Final" Mixes

Just downloaded the new tracks form Tony.

Rarely are these mixes "final" but it does feel good to have three under our belts.

Tony and I are writing this week.... he in OH and me in TN. Annette's working on lyrics for the songs we fleshed out while in Queens.

Next week we'll tackle the new ideas... he's really good and making something really special out of my ideas... so is Annette.

Then we'll ship those to queens for Annette to finish.

Tennessee welcomes you!



Drove back to Nashville yesterday.

Tony and I tweaked on the mixes right up till the end of my stay... Tony twiddled a bit more so I haven't heard the mixes yet... neither has Annette. Tony should be sending the files via the net for our consumption.

Back to song writing mode for all of us.

Mix'n and Sing'n

Today we've begun mixing a lovely song... working title "Tree Girl"

As with out mixing, Tony had an idea of adding a strange type of choir... so 29 Kips and Tonys later we had it.



Tony setting up the mic in the CSL vocal booth that sometimes doubles for his daughters nursery.

The camera was put on a timer while we were singing and here's what we got.



Kip's first VH vocal session.


We'll be posting some vid's later today of the session.

Mix'n

Tony and I started mixing a new song today.... this one was a lot closer but it still needed a few parts.

This photo should help you with yesterday's birds eye diagram of the studio... matching gear to the unlabeled squares and rectangles.



As Tony added I took the time to Power wash his sidewalk... should have taken some before and after photos.

This is what I look like if I was about to be run over by Tony PHOTO IS OF ME IN THE REAR VIEW BACKUP CAMERA OF THE PRIUS



Mixing means a lot of car tests... and our liberal, tree hugging car of choice is the Toyota Prius.

Making Tracks

Tony's been tweaking and tweaking on the first track we're finishing for the new project.

As with most songs we tend to deconstruct a "finished" song and create a new hybrid based on what hits us during the reconstruction.

Lots of failure but through that gems do emerge.
