been a busy few months and haven't had a lot of time for music unfortunately. however, a few things i have done.
first, i did a cover of isbell's "if we were vampires." i wanted to lay down a cello line to test how some new recording gear (neumann mt48 audio interface) and a new mic would sound in my office. vampires is my wife's favorite tune by JI so decided to play in some piano and cello. violin was added afterwards with midi.
second is a new guitar/drum based track i'm working on. trying to do something a bit more traditional. started with a sketch on the chorus that sounded a bit alice in chains-y to me so i built off that. i'm actually intending to write some verse, bridge, and chorus lyrics for it...then maybe i can pay the girls in jimmy's daughter's band to come and scream them in and make it work. haven't started conceiving of them yet but have placeholders for lyrics in the song throughout.
finally is a string quartet track i have been working on for a long time. i think it is finished but still don't know if i like the jarring ending or not.
