Halfway Done. 45 days down, 45 days to go.

I wrote the lyrics and the melodies for four songs. Not nearly as much as I wanted to get done, but not bad.

Here at the halfway point I have 24 song demoes finished. Five songs are ready to mix. Four songs are ready for vocals. Four songs are ready for lyrics. Two songs are just a handful of little riffs that need to be worked into a song form. That’s a total of 39 songs in the pipeline.

I’m still confident that I’ll get to 50 songs, but life is getting in the way quite a bit right now. I’ll remain cautiously optimistic.

In the 50 songs and 90 days pipeline there are four songs ready for vocals. That’s enough for me to go out and do some car music tomorrow. Vocals recorded in the car in an empty parking lot. The only way I can do it and feel comfortable with the whole singing thing.

If I can just find a way to get two more songs ready tonight then I could have 10 songs started and nearly finished within the month of August. That would be fun, right?

I’ll see if I can swing it. No promises.

Day 44 (yesterday) was busy and stressful and rough. There wasn’t a lot of time for musical fun. I did sneak in a mix though. 24 songs down.

24 songs down for the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. 26 to go.

Day 43 was a bit better than the nothing on day 42. I added one new song idea, which is just a bass riff or two, bringing the current count up to 39. I also mixed a song that doesn’t completely suck. That was nice.

Nothing. I failed to get any work done. Too much real life stuff going on and way too little sleep over the previous few days.

One new idea. Number 38. It’s just a couple of bass riffs.

That’s all for the day.

Day 40 was almost a wasted day, but at about 10:30 when I should have been going to sleep… when my body was telling me that I was going to have a really shitty Tuesday if I didn’t go to sleep right away… I mixed one song.
