  • Mixing It Up And Down

    Mixing It Up And Down

    The light at the end of the tunnel on a recent project is opening wide. A project I’ve been doing for John Michael Kane has been completed today. I’ve been mixing it up and down with a large selection of songs for John and now it’s over.

    The beauty is, a lot this music will be getting heard relatively soon on sports programs and other things TV related. John is part of a library that gets his songs licensed on TV. It’s a beautiful thing.

    In front of the last mix for John Michael Kane.

    This particular song is called “Won’t Stand Down”. Seems like I went alphabetical in the song order or I could been saving the best for last. Either way, I’m happy, he’s happy. We’re all happy with the end result. May the music grace your ears before too long.

  • What Songs Are Left?

    What Songs Are Left?

    Here’s a question that I’ve been getting recently: What songs are left? Meaning, what of the 72 songs that I started with for the next CD are now being considered for the next release. No need to ask any more. Why? Because the list is here [in alphabetical order]…

    American Mayhem
    Careful
    Femke
    Imagine Life
    In Disguise
    It Burns
    Jupiter Bowl
    Love Takes A Holiday
    New Here
    Stand My Ground
    Stand Up
    Things Left Unsaid
    Thump Thump Thump
    ‘Till We Meet Again
    Touch
    Vaporize Your Heart
    Waiting On One Thing
    You Can’t Hear

    Of those 18, there are a few more that I’ll axe from the list to get it down to the final group. I’m spending time pouring over each song. Debating on the arrangement. Making necessary lyric changes. Ending with any transitions between parts that need to be made. After all that, it will be time to assemble the proper crew to help out with the recording process.

    I’d love to get your help with offsetting the costs of the recording process. Please share the love of this page and help it go viral (click here).

    Stay Tuned!

  • Song Voting Coming To An End

    There’s less than a week left in a cool little project of putting your ears to good use. I’ve been having you the Unity 42 fan to help pick the songs that will be presented on the next CD. It started with over 70 songs and has been an adventure getting them down to a studio manageable amount of 12. What I’m saying is song voting is coming to an end.

    It will end on the 30th of June.

    After which comes my process of going through the chosen songs to make tweaks to the arrangement, tempo, and any lyrical content that may need modifying. Once that’s done I should be heading into the studio with a band of friends to knock out the recordings. It’s exciting to have all this going on.

    Thanks to everyone that has been participating. If you have participated yet – why not?
