Updates

5-15-26

Decided to get a smaller pair of monitors, to pair with the 8-inchers. Definitely seems to help in balancing out the high end …

Just got the Split EQ, from Eventide. It's currently on sale, through Plugin Boutique. So difficult to track soft guitars in a DAW. Totally amazed. Give me a minute, and I'll swap the clip.

Will probably remaster the previous tracks, now that I'm on a better roll. I'll post an update when I do!

Been stuck in that loop where I'm tweaking the mix more than engaging in actual session. It's kind of no-no, with this stuff. Supposed to keep moving. I do like this general arrangement better, though. Kind of stuff, still, but that will change.

That bright, almost brittle, digital overtone is a persistent nag for me, though. There is a way to soften it up, but I may hold off until the final mix before implementing it.

Needs a layer of crazy wah chords. 
 

3-3-26

Change of plans. Going to redo the Mars song one more time, with a different vibe, now that I've got a slightl bette grip on the mix. Far less complicated, especially after building up all the channels, over the Winter.

(Edit: Be back later, with a proper clip ... headphone amp pooped out on me.)

Acoustic-electric piece I'm working on, for Cicadidi. There's a small bunch left to track but, so far, it's all frogs and lilly pads.

 

6-1-25

New track. In “Tracks” of course. 

 

3-31-25 

Got my head stuck in an old radio. Bear with me.  

 

1-1-25

Mob of shoegazey boutique pedals and guitars, now, both electric and acoustic, so … it's going to be a brighter year, musically. Sorry for the hiatus. We're  still a thing.

Studio upgrade in progress. Bbs.

 

8/3/24

Fresh slate.

So, I'm back in Kristin's hometown of Jefferson City, Missouri. The original plans I had, upon arriving, didn't work out as well as I had hoped. But, I did manage to find a suitable apartment for playing and recording, and that's a relief. I've got a bunch of new guitars I need to photograph, as well. 

The cicadas were just beginning to emerge from the ground when I arrived. Completely unexpected surprise.

Everything is different, now, and it's taken me some time to get my focus back. I'm going to wait a little while to finish Hush-a-Bye. It's the dead of Summer and I started it in the Winter. However, I do have a couple of other items on the docket, including something with a beat. There is actually a keener focus to the project in concept, now, but I'm just going to post them as they come to me. Most have already been written, in full or in part …
