I've realized what must be my overall goal for RTVI: to let go. Thanks to my new job, I have 3-4 hours a day to work on this, so I don't have time to try and impress anyone...just to do something. But oddly enough, I LOVE this record already.
Not so much how it sounds, but rather what it means for me as a musician. I'm finally, FINALLY breaking out of my comfort zone in a big way. I'm honestly having a blast already...usually I trudge through the first 5 days and the fun doesn't start till Saturday (with keyboards and vocals). Now I'm just recording dumb riff after dumb riff and I don't care and it feels awesome.
Here is some of what I am working with. Not pictured is my new melodica and kalimba, both of which will certainly make an appearance. Got this new electronic set -- this is the first time in 6 years that I'm actually playing drums on one of my records...not quite real ones, but almost...and no quantizing!
'Letting Go' should be a goal of mine as well. nice drumss! can't wait to hear em :)
