365 Day 361: ami demo
the rest of this cover to be finished tomorrow morning (vocals, mastering, touch up tracks, etc). points if you can guess which tune by what band it is before then.
I have discovered a numbering disparity. A while ago I switched from counting the days I had done to the days I had yet to do, but I foolishly dated back from the day the project started, not the day it should finish. so this SHOULD be day 362, or something. whatever, it's almost done.
posts from yesterday and the day before to come, they're still on my phone and I am le tired.
[edit] yesterday (360) and the day before (359).
[editt] oh no, this numbering stuff is off. I must've missed something more drastic somewhere.

365 Day 358: Too Many
recordings
story: I was going to do this one much nicer with electric guitar and drums as well, but I discovered I didn't actually have a pick. I used the corner of a cardboard battery package for the acoustic here, and it was destroyed after this first take.

365 Day 352: Tracy's Last Dance
this is probably the last thing I'll do with my first bass, Tracy. Had to take one of her tuners off for my good bass because the ones from the P bass don't fit (and frankly, the P sounds a lot better than Tracy does).
had my family christmas today. very different without my uncle.

365 Day 349: Eszett
finally sucked it up and bought a new xlr so my fancymic will work again. and it does.
the machine head for Donna Lee's D string broke, and Ibanez wants over $100 for a set of new ones, so I will probably cannibalize my p bass (featured here) for one until I can get home and cannibalize my other bass.
unplugged electric instruments.

365 Day 341: Note to Self: Relax
holidays have started and I'm still a little bit of a stressbucket.
directed noodling: pentatonic moving up a 4th every two bars until arriving at the centre a half step above where we started, then resolving down. second voice the same a 4th above.

365 Day 336: Hatchet
A piece I wrote for an "advanced ensemble" course I'm taking at school. started with a groove and expanded it into a piece. initial groove was the line that the sax and guitar synch up on after their kind of winding/interlocking duet intro. performing this at a recital tomorrow afternoon.
sax - danny b
guitar - joel saunders

365 Day 333: Cozy Overnight
No reference to A Night Away.
Free medium-ballad style improv. Thought I'd give it a whirl, could've done it better but it's still pretty neat. Right channel recorded first.
(so what if there's a ton of line hiss, I bet you I sped up too)

This next one is titled

finado.

I think this is where the numbering disparity began

365 Day 325: Improv Nov What Day is it Now?
being coherently notey is really difficult, especially when you're out of practice.
(I think I may have to censor the less-good posts in this blog after the project is finished for my own appearance's sake)
