day 39

saturday's recording was about 20 minutes of guitar noodling and foolery
i chose these three minutes

i'm sure if i were to come back to this recording at a later date i would choose a different 3 minutes

day 29

i am slowly learning that i must record everytime i pick up an instrument

i played around with the guitar a bit sometime around 10 or so
and in my opinion it was sublime

was it the freedom from the thought that it had to be perfect or even palatable?
most likely

allowed myself to dive headfirst into whatever sound the guitar wanted to make

should have recorded
sorry about that

that's one of the main points of this project
to force myself to get over those limiting thoughts

so far it has helped tremendously
but i know there is still much ground to cover

the recording i am posting happened around 3am
tired and a bit delirious

almost passed out around 2:30
woke up and pushed myself just a little bit more

day 11

another late night session

acoustic in the bedroom
only place there was quiet

lots of activity in the house
more monster box creation
cooking
and records being played

.......

And obviously I didn't upload a new track last night.
I recorded one around 2:30am

But I was having more file host issues.
So I try in a minute to see if it works.

Gutar.
Smooth and mellow

Ahhh..... the sound of slide will always soothe my soul.

maybe it will help me to forget there is a lake developing in my house

day 10

today was one of the more challenging days for recording something satifying so far

2 different instruments
and 17 attempts later

we get two parts of this melody i was trying to chase down

the second part was reminding me of the grey days in the northwest
the contrast of the dismal and the serene

maybe it's just me

but when i'm listening to it
i feel like i am on a ferry surrounded by thin mist and islands of pines
