The State of EyeOh

I can't believe how long it's been since I updated this blog. I've made so much music since that last post! Two more CDs have been filled, and a third about half-way done. I've also picked up Komplete Ultimate from Native Instruments, and am in sonic heaven.

Time for some dusting...

I've allowed too much dust to collect on this blog. Most everything is covered over on Cavebabble, yet I have been writing music since last December, and not updating anything here. I'll find some time this next week to upload a couple new tunes, and try to shine the place up a bit.

Inner Outer Space

The CD is finished! One year and twelve tracks from my last album. Time to get some in the mail for family and friends.

How Much is Enough?

I face the same question each year as I'm putting together a new CD: How many songs is enough? I usually have two or three songs in the works at all times, and have a tough time deciding which to finish up for the latest CD, and which to put on the back burner for next year's. I have to decide!

New CD nearly finished

I've finished designing the cover of my upcoming CD, Inner Outer Space. I have two more songs in the works, though, so may wait until they are ready to include on this disk, as well.

You Hate Me, Don't You

I'm smack dab in the middle of the Tomorrow People cover monster, and am starting to wonder if TC hates me. The melodies I'm tying together are so different that it's really tough to make it all mesh without changing key. Somewhere out there, you are laughing at me. And I will prevail. Oh yes, I shall prevail.

That Bass Sounds Familiar

I started composing a new song this week, beginning with a funky bass line. I added drums, and then began riffing off of this with a nice lead synth. Ten minutes into my jam session, I began to think I'd heard that bass line before. Sure enough, it was almost exactly the same as another song I'd written in the last year! Inspiration fail. It happens sometimes. After all, whose songs don't sound at least a bit like their others? I won't bother to work on this song any longer, but at least I squeezed a fun jam session out of it.
