Week 52 This is my last song of the week from 2022! I arranged this one for my brother. He wrote the lyrics and basic melody. It's straight-up rockabilly.

This one didn't really get the arrangement or mix is deserved. One more week to go. Once in a while, I just like to waste my time I won’t spend every day towing someone’s line So if you see me and you want to stop and chat Don’t be discouraged…

Lyrics were generated by an AI chatbot this week. They are not great. Verse 1: I used to think that Sirius XM was cool But now I see that it's just a fool They play the same songs over and over And the commercials, oh man, they never end…

Totally improvised this week, starting with the Prophet Rev2, then moving to the acoustic guitar. It's a think piece.

This is a cover of the song "Gravity" from the band SeaStar from Seattle off their new album. GOLD RUST & BONE. It sounds nothing like the original. Nothing.

Experimenting this week with Mid-side electric guitar recording, doubling bass tracks, and binaural mixing. This mix is "supposedly" optimized for regular headphones. It might sound weird in speakers. I added a ton of little recorded guitar elements…

I'm at the edge of the world, reaching for the moon as I hold onto the rope of humanity. The sky above is dark. The earth below me fails. I trust solidity of space as my foot leaves the edge. I am a continent, fastened to the core. I am the…

Experimenting with Melodyne this week. Made some voice chords for the first section. Probably could have used a sampler, but it's a new skill.

Revisited a song from my 2015 RPM Challenge; added some tracks and messed with the vocals to sort out how I would arrange it for a real vocalists.

I'm seeing lines in my face and I don't know why. I'm turning twenty eight and I'm starting to lie. I'm starting to die.

November. Super Warm. I hear them calling me to dance. Strangers in the cul de sac. Middle of the night. Figures in the street. Dancing in the Night. November. My last November. This year, they’ll take me away in the middle of the night…

Key of Eff.

Coming down from a bout of writer's block, I took an entirely different approach this week. Turned out weird.

Home repairs this week. Built a few things around a cool bass line using some random synth arpeggios.

Had a little help with the lyrics and melody on this one (thanks Fae!). I put it together kind of quickly. I might come back and revisit this one. So nice to be back in Logic and out of garage band. Oh the freedom.

Last week on garage band. Thankfully. If you produce on garage band - you have my respect.

Still struggling with GarageBand. Decided to go with the loop sequencer today. It’s fun and flexible. So is this track.
