Wow. This site has been inactive for a depressingly long time. Maybe it’s time to put something up, eh?
On that note, here’s a cover of the Mountain Goats’ “Woke Up New.” Enjoy! (And while you’re at it, make sure you watch the video for the actual song, directed by Rian Johnson. Totally awesome. Especially the zebra.)
Hopefully this won’t be the last recording I post this summer. I make no promises, but . . I’m pretty sure I’ll have more stuff up in the near future.

Two updates in less than a month? Let the gasping commence.
I started this recording somewhere around five weeks ago, but two rather long bouts of sickness and a certain number of other distractions have kept me from actually finishing the thing until now. Backup vocals are scratchier and less on-pitch than I’d like thanks to the Head Cold from Hell, and the mixing was a bit hasty, but I’ve reached the point where I just want a finished product. Despite the frustrations, though, I’m reasonably happy with the end result. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it too.

Still haven’t gotten to the Next Big Recording Project, nor do I expect to until all the grad school apps are done (somewhere in the vicinity of late December/early January). As a consolation prize, I just put up a very brief and very simple recording of something else.
I am such a dork.

I decided on a whim on Friday to record a cover of Jimmy Eat World’s “23.” This turned into an enormous project that consumed my entire weekend and then some, but hey, that happens on occasion. I absolutely adore this song, or I did before I spent ~36 hours working on recording it. Kind of ran out of time/patience towards the end of the mixing process, so some things aren’t quite right, but . . eh.
Still. Not bad, I think, for my first solo recording in over two years.
Enjoy!

This is rather outdated by now, but it’s the only solo recording of mine I feel comfortable posting as of now. I’m still proud of the recording quality, even if the vocals leave something to be desired (namely training/pitch control/a decent voice). Plans as of right now are to sell off some of my old recording gear by the end of the summer in order to pay for a new Mbox, so that I can get back to doing new recordings once I move out of my apartment. So rest assured that there will be bigger and better recording projects posted here in a few months.
Until then, here is the version of Flashbulb Diary’s “Dark Star” I did for my music class two summers ago. Enjoy.
