Today I went up to visit my parents and made some recordings with my dad. I'm not sure of the names of the original artists of these songs, but I'll find them out as soon as I can and update this post.

I've experimented with making music videos for a little while now. It's mostly just me covering songs at the moment, but once I get a better grasp on video editing I plan to record multiple tracks with different instruments and switch between the clips. Anyway, this is a recording of me playing the drums along with a band called Maserati. The song is called Monoliths.

Hello friends,

This is a live recording of Ripchord, a fyrii song, with Ben Barr playing drums. On guitars, Chris Zielinski and Keith Wood. On bass, Carey Gumaer.

This is another live recording. I don't have the sound insulation set up yet, as I'm waiting on another box of foam before I buy the MDF to assemble the panels. I always have a hard time making live recordings with more than a couple people because there's so much going on that it's hard to capture everything equally. I also don't have the new console yet. Regardless, check it out. I hope y'all had a good weekend. Until next time!

Soon, I'll be building hinged sound insulation panels. They're gonna be totally awesome and portable and I can't wait.

April Recordings

Hey everyone,

Here are some recordings from when all the equipment was still setup in my basement last month. Enjoy!

4-18-10

This song is currently untitled. I used my Taylor Big Baby with one dynamic mic and my Ovation Celebrity direct into the console, recording 2 tracks for each and adding drums at the end.

This song is currently untitled as well. I used the same instrumentation and recording technique as the 4-18-10 recording. This is the same song as the 5-15-10 recording except it is recorded only with drums and acoustic guitar.

4-30-10

mp3
This is a song I recorded with Jesse Germain. It's a rough recording that we laid down in about an hour in the basement. There are two tracks recorded with a classical guitar, and then the drums on top of it.

Got a Sunday afternoon recording for y'all. Chris Zielinski on guitar, Carey Gumaer on drums.

This is a live recording, so no direct input from the guitar amp. 7 mics were used in this recording.

Initial Post

Hello Everyone,

This is a blog that I started to post recordings that I make in my home studio. These first two recordings are just me, but I will be posting tracks recorded with other artists as well. I plan to have improvisational jams 3 - 4 times a week and record at least one track during that time period, posting it here afterward. Enjoy.

This just bass and drums. It's the first recording I made after setting up all the gear in the new music room. Bass was recorded first, then drums.

5-15-10

mp3
This is a room and direct track for both the bass and electric guitar, followed by a drum track. It's the second recording made in the new room.
