Eric Putnam (Unplugged)

Thought I'd throw in my two cents. Which is funny/sad because I am actually really short on change these days. Like. Coins. All these Illinois tolls are suckin' up my metal. Anyways...

As the title implies, this Record Time will be unplugged. Since my move has vastly limited my instrument options, I've been inspired to squeeze every last drop of juice out, so to speak. I'll be recording electric bass not amplified, not direct, just raw, unplugged electric bass. I know it soudns lame, but i've been experimenting and it actually makes a cool texture along with some recorded desk percussion and clapping. Yes it'll be a very natural sounding album this year. Other instruments may include my external hard drive case's buzz and my vintage 1987 2 qt saucepan. I've also set limiters on chord usage and number of songs so there shouldn't be a whole lot to think about at all. Which is nice when you're a full-time grad student and TA.
