Working on the demos/album.

I realized the other day that I haven't updated this blog with the stuff I've been doing. I've been heavily working on getting my songs done, mainly on lead vocal tracks and guitar tracks.

So here are the songs I hope to have done for the next set of demos, in no particular order:

Don't Know How You Found Me
Living the Dream
Business or Pleasure
Lost Cause
Your Strength of Will
The People
This is the Time
I Still See You
35, 17
Hello Old Friend, Hello
Last Love
Check Once, Check Twice
Friday Night
Lightning, then Thunder
No One Coming
Shiver With Pride
Soothe Me
The Long Run

Is that really 18 songs? Jeez! I hadn't added those up yet. I guess that's what happens when you don't record anything for 7 years.

I've done all of my lead vocal tracks in my family's RV. They've been up North, camping with grandparents, and I've been down here in Victoria getting recording done.

My friend Seth Hardie came through and recorded one of the guitar tracks for "Don't Know How You Found Me," and Nicola Linde contributed some background vocals while I still had everything set up in the RV. I have a few other people who have said they would like to be involved as well.

I wanted to record guitars in the RV as well, but there was some infernal clicking, some signal, that my guitars were picking up on, so I had to move the recording stuff indoors. Fortunately, my brother has been out camping as well, so I've been able to move inside easily.

Realizing that it's 18 tracks helps explain why this is taking such a long time.
