I will check out the drum thread - thx.

Good title, I will see what I can do! If I can't get something going with it relatively soon, I'll let you know, but I am hopeful.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll keep that thread in mind :3

Hey man! Thanks for your comment on my lyrics!

If YOU wanna write a bridge and put it to music, you can... ;D Or maybe I'll try to get something down soon if you really want me to finish my own song (which is totally understandable), haha.

hey - are you kidding?... lay that song title on me - I will do my very best. And thanks for calling me out on the tag for "Crush Them All" -- I never know what Devin is going to do, so I get a little nervous and feel like a ship without a rudder. I will have him change it to avoid any awkwardness on my side

thanks so much for the kind comment on my 1/2 song idea -- I love your first one here and can't wait to hear more. I'm working the opposite way - getting too much out at the start and am sure to fizzle.

Thanks so much on the comment/suggestions for my song (Frontier of Forever). I was sort of thinking the same thing about the A and B sections but thought it might sound too abrupt. Maybe I'll record another version and compare

Funny thing, I should know this fountain... I went to Mcmaster... for... oh... 7 years... because I suck at engineering.

Nice... did you take the picture itself?

Thanks for the comment on Red Dress On A Beach. I agree, the song doesn't quite sit as it should.

See You In The Shadows…

Oh wow! Wild! Hah!
Oooh, nice fountain.... or possibly a ufo with a bad leak. One of the two.

I thought you would appreciate my needless use of expletives, Mark.

Thanks for the advice and your kind words! Yes, I totally know what you mean about the piercing high note. I think that is partially due to my lack of a good recording program (I've been using Audacity, which does not seem to flatter my higher range), but I also agree that it's a bit grating to hit the D so often throughout the song. Looking forward to hearing your songs!!

That's a great suggestion, Mark! I had revised the lyrics after I finished recording because I was thinking along similar lines. To me, it's a gradual shift over the whole song, from an uncertainty/realization to anger and taking back power so doing more tweaking there would be worth it.

Still waiting for some of your tracks

I might not be able to.. until I relearn it. I spliced and quantized it so I wouldn't have to learn to play it perfectly. It was close, but not that perfect.

The mighty Hammersmith! I hope you have an excellent FAWM this go round.

It'd be absolutely rad if there was another common drum challenge this year... I swear to god I wouldn't make it as boring as last time.
toms 3 weeks ago
