I spent a solid couple of hours this morning in the cellar recording guitar parts and it went pretty well. I managed to pick off four songs. I’m hoping I can pull off the same feat tomorrow morning. I have band practice in the evening so I need to spend some time prepping for that as well. I felt the guitar sounded pretty good, and I am pleased with the day’s output. At the same time though… I have very, very far to go.

Gimmick?
Is it a gimmick? I’m still not sure.
RPM2018 – Day Nine
I knew that I wouldn’t have any time to work on the project today, but I did manage to add two more bass/drum GarageBand files on my iPhone today. I have this idea for one that it will be three or four different verse/chorus/verse pieces all tied together. We’ll see how it goes.
Tomorrow… tomorrow there will be lots and lots of guitars recorded. I promise*.
*by saying “I promise” what I really mean is “I hope.”
RPM2018 – Day Eight
Not much today, but not a shutout. I added song #11 to the list. Fully spec’d out, but just bass and drums like most of the others. I had time to work on rhythm guitars today but I flaked and didn’t do anything. I hope that doesn’t bite me on the ass later. That gives me 11 songs and 35:59 of running time. Is my goal this year to make a double album and hit 20 songs? It very well might be.
Cat
I don’t know why I love it when the cat sits on the foot rests, but I do.
RPM2018 – Day Seven
Another day with very little time for music. I still managed to add another song to the in progress list as well as fill out song forms for every song that was still just random ideas. I now have 10 songs in the works.
Happy Birthday
Happy birthday to the love of my life!
RPM2018 – Day Six
I sort of salvaged a wasted day today. I had no time at all, and was thinking I wouldn’t be able to do any work, but I did one bookkeeping sort of thing after dinner.
While I was recording guitars this weekend, I used the iPhone Music Memos app to make quick recordings of three little guitar noodles. Tonight I ported those noodles into a GarageBand file. That was going to be the big accomplishment that saved me from being completely shut out.
Fast forward a couple of hours and I’m laying in bed unable to sleep. Well, why not take advantage of wakefulness? I kicked off a couple of new ideas in GarageBand on my iPad. Nothing special, but they might turn out kinda fun.
And just like that, a wasted day becomes slightly productive. What do you know, right?
