JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback MP3 Feedback Forum Music Talk & Update

Hi Gang,

It's been awhile since the last one of these. Sorry I haven't done much posting or feedbacks from on the mp3 boards lateIy. I have had my brother-in-law staying with us for a week. He sleeps in the next room and goes to bed about 7 hours before I do So I don't blast music, imagine that lol...However he's a great guy.

Haven't been too active the past few weeks either, whatever it is that I have whether it be The Meniere's Disease or something else it just gets worse as time goes on.
My balance is just awful and it now it even takes affect when I'm sitting.
I just cant figure which is my favorite..the aliment the frustration, stress or the depression?
Well enough of the that fun stuff!


Okay Talk Music

When I feel strong enough I have been working on my new song. I started this song in 2003 and put it aside as I could never finish it.
Anyway while I was working on it now I decided to take the old analog video camera and record some.
I started already. I want and intend to post the process of me recording the song and make video clips then post them on the Video Forum here...

It will be in parts/stages ranging anywhere from 2 minutes to 10 minutes a video.
So Part 1 may be introduction and Part 2 may be guitar Part 3 Bass etc... Part 4 Drums... etc....
Along the way I'll be doing and talking about song structures, sound, equipment, arrangements, instruments, playing techniques, recording techniques, mixing.
I guess ALL of it My non musician friend who shops my music and helps make decisions should hopefully be involved. He brings my music to a real heavy weight so the planning surrounding the project is always interesting...

I just have to get a convertor box to somehow get analog unto my computer. Man do I miss that great digital video camera we used for the Brooklyn video.
So hopefully if I can do it all I will have that up as soon as possible, I'm trying but I try to work any chance I can when i'm feeling decent enough to.
Life is funny! the more my ears develop and my timing and all skills improve the poorer and sicker I become
