Well I wanted to give you another update on the recording…we’ve been at it pretty much non-stop…overdubbing, mixing…and basically seriously learning more about our studio gear! The songs are sounding really good with Brian especially just intensely focused on getting all these songs completed.

Mixing and Editing and Writing Oh MY!
We’ve been working on a lot of new tunes with James on bass – and it’s just been a rather organic flow, he’s bringing something special to the project. He played with us at Cresfest and altho he’d only rehearsed with us a couple of times at that date, he did a great job. While […]
Progress report
Progress report… We’ve added some wonderful new people to our “team” and are brainstorming quite a bit, letting the vibe of the songs lead into some very cool and different production ideas. In addition, on a whim I redid the lead vocal for Wizard and captured something I liked better than the original vocal. What […]
Creswell show, Cresfest Saturday August 25th
Oh, it’s been many days since I’ve blogged, but I’ve been thinking about it! 🙂 There’s so much going on right now with the mixing and the video, plus playing music with so many great local musicians who’ve been showing up lately wanting to PLAY!
Vocal Effects for Marmalade Moonlight
I wanted to post a little bit about the mixing to illustrate what’s going on with it – knowing so many people are waiting for the next song to be released, hopefully this will give you an idea of how it’s coming.

That’s OK, but really it’s easier and quicker to leave a comment here 🙂 Don’t be shy, I love to hear from everyone! So here’s the questions […]
Monday & Tuesday Night in the Studio
Whew! We’ve finished the vocals and harmonies, and did a rough mix tonight of “Ring that Bell.” As always happens, we’ll need to listen tomorrow with fresh ears and make some adjustments. These 3:00AM mixes have their own personalities 😀 and often need to be tweaked a bit later.
Alchemy Waits
Songs appear when we least expect them sometimes – and “Alchemy Waits” is a perfect example of that. Brian’s always experimenting with different sounds and textures; he’ll often just be tripping with tones when something he’s playing just calls to me. During one of his sound experiments, I started singing to it and it fell […]
Tomorrow
Recording some of these tunes is like a little window into when they were each written; seeing how they’ve taken on a life of their own as their arrangements evolved is always intriguing. So today I’m thinking about “Tomorrow”. In the grand scheme of our musical catalog, I’m really pleased with “Tomorrow”. Brian had this […]
More about Life Themes
More Thoughts About Life Themes With artists, you can see the evolution of their life theme as well as their craft by experiencing their art in sequence. And with songwriters, you can easily do the same thing by just listening to their tunes.
