On Tuesday's Google Day, we worked with Walsh to finalize our song and consult his musical expertise to help us improve it.  We added several new sections to the song including a bass solo, and alto sax solo, and a guitar solo.  We will be recording most likely this weekend and into next week in Walsh's newly sound-engineered recording room at his house.  We will record each part individually and then layer the recordings on top of each other for the sake of efficiency.

On Friday's Google Day we used the general song "riff" we had finalized before, but we started to work on the organization aspect, putting the structure of the song down on paper.  We also worked through some more in-depth details of the song, such as some of our ideas for bass/guitar solos. Over the Thanksgiving break we will work on some saxophone leads we could add in and hopefully move into the recording stage.

We for the last google day, we worked on finalizing the order of the song and putting together the little sections that we had before into a song, now all that's left is to jam with Mike, our drummer who is doing another project, and record it at mikes house.

Im looking forward to it

This Friday, we made huge progress. Nick and I figured out our own little riff that will go in between each "verse." I put the that in quotation marks because I don't know if it really is a verse. We are doing more of an instrumental type of song rather than a lyrical based one so our song is structured very different. After we figured out everything that's actually going into the song, we started to put it all together.

We now have a confirmed direction and chord progression we will be working off of, and it is in the funk/jazz genre.  We will be incorporating numerous different jazz-related elements in our song to push the boundaries of what we've traditionally been able to do in terms of writing music.  Expect to see key changes, complex jazz rhythms, guitar and saxophone leads, slap bass solos, and other more musically advanced ideas in our song. We will begin to work with Mike who will be drumming for us, and helping us record, in the coming weeks.  It's been really fun to see where this project is headed and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Expect great things.

Sorry for the late post. I'm not sure what happened two days ago: Nick, JG and I were jamming in our practice room and I put my blog post in from there. Apparently, as Nick pointed out later, the ethernet connection was down or something and it never came through.

Anyways, we experimented with some jazz and and a little funk. Travis was our consult at that time and was our vocal during our jam session. If we can't find a vocalist in a few weeks, I think we will just have him sing for us. I think we were overall successful in getting a full song together. In a few weeks time, we may have to start recording and editing. That's where Mike comes in.

Today we jammed more in class, we have a pretty solid base for the song. I have a rhythm part, Danny has his bassline and nick has his lead part, but we need to work out specifics and add to the song.

We hope to be done with the song in a few weeks so we can talk to our friend and drummer Mike about recording
