5090 Song number 10 of 50. I'm 20% complete.
Another 12 bar blues. This is the second one I've worked on so far. Expect 30 more. At least.

Now a decade old, I thought I would revisit this mix again. I have done this a few times as I continue to learn the craft. I thought it would be a good exercise to undertake as a start thinking about writing again for the next record.

5090 song number nine out of 50.
Lots of gimmicks here. Guitarmonies. Drum solo. Four part vocal harmonies singing a minor seventh chord with tons of effects and buried in the mix. Yup, all the standbyes.
The guitars are all Les Paul…

V1 We shine so brightly
Like an Indigo Flame
But the downs they get lower
And There is no one else to blame
V2 Love and hate are allies
In relationships like this
Can we seek redemption
Or just an armistice
C Our Love tanks are empty…

50/90 Song number eight of 50.
In my defense, I did give you seven whole songs before sharing the one with the 24 measures of backwards guitar solo buried under 700 tons of delay and a rotary speaker. I didn't drop this soupy mess onto you…

50/90 Challenge song Seven of 50.
Eh. I don't think I like this one. The vocal melody I came up with was a tad too much for my meager singing skills. It wasn't too bad, just not that good. Oh well. The groove is kinda fun to solo over…

50/90 song number six.
A couple of experimental type things (for me, at least) on this song.
First: I mixed this through actual speakers. I feel a little giddy just typing that. I don't think I've mixed anything through speakers since…

50/90 Challenge song number five of 50.
I feel like most of what I am coming up with right now is overly simplistic. Is that a conscious thing or not? I don't know. This one has the benefit of being a blues in A minor in 3/4 time. A waltzing…

In the early 70s I lived near Haight Ashbury, played music and was deeply involved in that scene. Wrote this song a few years later about those days. Recorded in one take at Rosewood studios..not bragging on the one take, we booked a full day…

V1 Unaccustomed to acts of courage
Disbelieve in the coincidental

Played by the drum and fife
Reality comes into sight
to liberate our life.

Now with more awesomeness! Thank you to This Wretched Vessel Lead vocalist for adding in some Gang vocals to beef up the chorus. Also borrowing their percussionist for some tambourine to give the song some extra pop!

Wilson's Cover of my song. He did such a fantastic job on this and I love that he took the time to do this. It is such an honour to have someone take the time to learn one of your songs and record their own take on it. Thank you Wilsun!

This one is okay. It feels a little too... mathy? Is that a thing? I feel like maybe there needs to be more going on in the chorus, but it has three part vocal harmony so there's that. Subconsciously the whole point of this…

Three down, 47 to go.
I like this one even though there is nothing to it. I threw the bass line together on a Friday evening. It was late and I wanted to get something down before I went to sleep. It was a simple little nothing.

Brian wrote a song.
Wilsun covered it.
Wilsun gave me his Garageband file.
I teamed up with a robot orchestra and we made this.
Hopefully Brian and Wilsun will like it.
