It's been about five months since I've done any work on the great 2015 re-recording project, volume eight. The time has come to get back to work, I think. This one is okay. I don't know if I will keep this mix or not. I need to live with…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 54 becomes finished song number 56. I like this one. I should use different rhythm guitar sounds within songs more often. I like the groove here too. Not sure why. Maybe mid-tempo in 7/8 just works…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 55 becomes finished song number 55. I think there might be something worth revisiting here but I'm not quite sure what that might be. Sorry about all of the rough edits. All of the guitar tracks are…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 56 becomes finished song number 54. Apologies. I have no idea what happened with the vocals. I recorded them over a MIDI guitar track that I was using as a guide and it sounded in tune at the time but…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 51 becomes finished song number 51. I had this idea to do one 12-bar each month through the summer writing challenge. This is September's example. I kinda like the chorus. I really don't think much of…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 49 becomes finished song number 49. I like this one a little. It feels like 6/8 but I have the MIDI tracks running in 4/4 with a triplet feel. It sort of comes out the same. The rhythm guitars are…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 28 becomes finished song number 46. This one is okay. The chromatic thing almost works. It feels maybe a little forced. I don't know why I didn't come up with any vocal harmonies. It really feels empty…
