Hacking away.

So today I have decided that I am going to try to start and finish the third movement to the project I'm working on. The frustrating, difficult, and time consuming part is and will be finding the right guitar tone for the job. I am definitely in the beginning learning stages of how to get a good guitar tone, evidenced by the fact that when I try to record my guitar from the amp, I just get a wall of fuzz and no tone. I'm thinking that I will need to start out with no distortion and see how that records, then add a bit more distortion and see how that is, and continue on in that manner until I've found it. (Thank you Hailey for making me do this blog, because I wouldn't have thought of that otherwise).

A couple of musical things I want to share.....

The Rocket Summer's new album "Of Men and Angels" is a great album. I feel like he did a spectacular job with the sound of the album and the lyrical content (not to mention that he plays all the instruments on the record....I'm not jealous)

Pas Redouble by Camille Saint-Saens is a great piece. I heard it played by the University of Arkansas Summer Music Camp Honor Band, and they did a spectacular job. Nailed the dynamics. It was seriously magical.

House of Heroes' song "God Save the Foolish Kings" is awesome.

The Dear Hunter. That's all I have to say about them.

Take it easy, and I'll keep you updated. If you want to check out my music, go to myspace.com/silenceisimpossible. The third movement is being redone.
