Quiet

Back on my own again until the Winter holidays, taking it easy slowly writing some songs and pacing it well.

3 Songs are in the works, 2 have been halted (weren't very good).

This is how we practice

A short.

I will keep on growing, while you will rot away,
Perishing with time, remembering the death,
While I grow stronger, only to wilt and die,
But return I will, when the climate is good.

Flowers at the Roadside.

Long Distance

Hello music fans and people with a lot of free time, it's been a while since I last posted but this 'should' make up for it. It's another track from my upcoming EP which is going to be posted in full very, very soon. Promise.

This is my song called Long Distance and is an attempt to write some more 'happier' songs, so here I went with a soppy love song with Spanish influence.

Enjoy x

Lyric sheet

The timer runs down, the receipt from a labour of love is being printed, the apple has fallen from the tree.

This is how I make songs

 

my dearest Brother has given the mixdowns the once over, only a few tweaks to be made. Then a quick normalisation and master and it is complete!

(just the minor case of the artwork to be settled. . . .

22 Seconds of "Long Distance" to keep you company.

Almost there

Been mixing

Hello internet type people! I've been doing a spot of mixing today (nothing substantial) but it's something. As I've always claimed, mixing is the worst part because there are some many little decisions to be made which have the potential for a track to sound amazing or poor, walking the tight rope.

Today I have put the finishing touches to "Long Distance" and I think (?) that "Fishbowl" maybe completed, during the course of the coming week I'm going to get to work on "Dive into the River" and "manwoman".

It should be noted that these are all tentative title's and not definite as of yet.

Art work news, still revelling in the delights of potential and not made much a decision yet, it's likely that the art will come as the record is completed. But for those wondering, here is a picture that I took and edited earlier this year in preparation for the record, ".i run."

Art Attack!

Making a start on some sort of artwork, as I have very little knowledge of art expect it to be very basic like all previous attempts.

At the present I'm am sticking with tradition and just refining some of the 'doodles' which are always present on my lyric sheet. Might turn out to be alright . . . .or just terrible.

Stage 1 Complete

Hello Hello! After a short 2 day break, today I got to putting the finishing touches to the recording ie the vocals, Bitter, strained and frail but I got there in the end, next to move onto the next stage (and maybe the most time consuming) the mixing, so time to get a good set of speaker's/headphone and to begin.

Thanks for letting me waste your time, but at least I didnt go insane this time round. I'll keep you posted on any developments, although I still need some artwork and titles!!!


Much Love.

For tomorrow,

Today's session will consist of the "heavier" songs at my disposal, much to the grievance of the neighbours, sorry.

So when I get my wits about me, expect noise. 

Key words: Angry and Alone.

Who says the 26th April is a bad day?

Been an eventful day, lots of faffing about in the morning but we managed to make a bodge job of it, Started with skelingtons of songs and have only been using the (bad) microphone, really gives the feeling of class which only the 60's could offer, or it just really sounds crappy, well that'll be for you to decide.

Our sound engineer for the day.

Tuning up

 Right then, time to go out and have a little tipple to celebrate, it's been a very good day . . . sort of.

Major balls-up

Started recording this morning, was going rather well everything in correct working order but due to my clumsy incompetence I think I may have destroyed the hardware already. I do have a habit of blowing up recording equipment, Im going to dig around the interweb for a while and see if there is anything I can do but it doesn't look hopeful, might have to record as a set of live recordings after all.

Nice.

"A bad worker blames his tools"

After installing, rebooting and rehashing Cubase just wouldn't work, luckily I got my best man on the case (me hehe) and it's all sorted now. recording will start this evening with one (tentatively) titled "Dive in the River".

While waiting for the many reboots it gave me time to alter some songs and edit stuff, and so a shaggy old song has now been given a new lease of life, expect it to make an appearance at some point.


Here are some picture of lyrics sheet and my amazing organisational skills.

Checking the equipment

. . . now it's on.

Hello there, I have haven't been active for over 3 year's so now I have the time and space i'm going to be recording some new songs. Hope they come out good.

 For those who haven't heard previous music it is under a different guise and it can be found here: http://www.last.fm/music/LonelyHands



Sooooo, today, been checking equipment, prepping instruments and setting up (what will be) my "studio" for the week

Pictures to follow

PS Sorry about the layout atm, this is just a quick default template and will get round to changing that later.
