Set a goal this year to do a song a week, have it in Reaper ready to mix & final master, def meeting the goal. J kinda doesn't want to sing all the time, thats fine.. the health issues, its amazing she can sing at all..each one is a blessing. Going to try & re focus forward..to distance this pattern am in. It's awesome to record like this..but.. need a challenge, it came to me..just like it did in 2010,

3rd week 2010, Sat afternoon,,how i remember..there was NFL football game on & they do Saturdays last 2 weeks in December if i remember right. Between 1st & 2nd quarter..disappeared into myself for 45 minutes.. when i came down ..this composition book had 16 songs titles & first 3 written out..simply labeled it "My Wall 2010" that afternoon

Last night we were talking about recording & i think J wants a break. That allowed the door to open to what i write & play more naturally. Woke up & finished the song organization

Narrative starts out as i turn on the TV & watch the Towers fall...then it dreamscapes into my life story but not all exact..from all the crazy stuff ,me looking down at myself & seeing me but not the normal way..in a narrative way... its dark..but its real & truthful...overcoming all the obstacles in life & realizing ..it's my..life..

whatever is going on..its on me..to make it the best i can. Crap happens..good & bad...it's how we deal or don't deal..this is a story of both sides of the fence..going to do a double length album. Possibly contemplating a few musicians have been in bands with to do some songs to really stretch this. Thanks again to @Thatbastarddon for opening the door to learn recording......

the gear incoming prompted it, going to document & actually put a proper effort into something, Here we go...My Wall.jpg
 
Great concept bro.
I have a similar approach but no proper way to play along to anything I come up with.
Maybe soon I will have a breakout means of tying it all together.
Cheers
Taking this journey with you last few years..i sense it !! Your breakthrough is close !!Sometimes it is simply..do you have the time to dedicate to it. very hard nipping at it here & there..the continuity can get lost
 
Here is song 4 of "My Wall"Rough idea ," 6 Ft to Safety" .pardon my vocals but i had to place em..so just flat lined to get the song to work. It is a serious negative song but in sequence of the story ..actor/character/him..is ready to end it all by what was explained in first 3 songs.. trying to set a theme or sound that will blend this whole Side 1


That's really good, Man...
 
The vocals have a haunting quality...
Finally got to tune down half step. it's in A# minor. Played in the A position. My buddy wound those pickups & it;s Korean Epi SG, gave to a student. Hopefully i can find my voice on this project.

Singing ..wow..not my thing..but the show must go on at times. Started just trying lately. Maybe it's like the other stuff.in life...no instructions..just do it...keep trying & put the time in practicing. This project is going to take many facets of the human voice to try & convey the emotion of the story.

Driving me nutz..want to lock the door to the studio & come out after its done. its all right there in my brain. I did more paper work today than all 12 years in school..lol
 
Do you guys think i should stick with my typical amps ? Since its 20 songs & many dif ideas. I was thinking of using a Dual rec, 6505 & JCM 800. My buddy & i swap amps for fun.Will have to let him pick 3 of mine. Cept the JMP & Super Reverb never leave,,
