Starting work at 10:30 pm. Tonight I work on Anchor.

So, here’s a clip of the older track I’ve been updating. It’s definitely in better shape than it was. This one may be getting some Harry Hansen orchestration as well. Hopefully there’s time.

All the clips I’ve posted need mastering as well, so they don’t fully represent the overall sound yet.

So here’s a clip of Stepping Stones as it is right now.  I just added all the vocals the other day, so I’m still tweaking. I need some time away from it to catch things I may be missing.

I also may be collaborating with my film composer, Harry Hansen, to add more orchestration. There’s a couple few songs this may happen with, time permitting.

So today I’ve pretty much worked on editing and replacing vocals for Stepping Stones.  All day.

My personal goal to get to Anchor vocals didn’t happen. But, I got plenty done.

I hope to get the vocals I did last night for Stepping Stones cleaned up and a preliminary mix of them. It’d be nice to track some vocals for Anchor tonight.

Spent the last handful of hours patching and singing background vocals. I feel good about it. It’s gonna be a terrible time mixing it all, but I think it’ll sound good. It’s rough-ish now, but I hear the polished version in the chaos.

Went through the vocals on Stepping Stones yesterday. Back on duty tonight…

So, my plans changed and my day got out of whack. I didn’t get to Stepping Stones, and I didn’t work as much on music as I wanted today. I did get in a “half day” with some other tracks, being nit-picky. Some of the tracks are starting to get real close.

When I work like this I slowly drift towards swapping my days and nights. I’m already a night owl, so it just gets pushed back into the four and five o’clocks. I’ve put in quite a handful of hours today. I finally got enough out of the way to want to give vocals for Stepping Stones a shot. I sang it multiple times. I’ll listen tomorrow. Grabbing some grub and a seat and anything else to take my mind off recording until I hit the sack.

I’ve actually got a bunch of errands to do tomorrow, but I’m still gonna try to put in the hours. I’m sure riding around tomorrow, listening to the CD, I’ll come home with a stack of a buh-jillion notes.
