Day twenty-six probably:
Supplies low, morale variable, diarrhea probable and madness rampant. New ideas incoming.
She chews on her lip as she's packing up her things The wind hits the house like it's running If time is the way that you measure up these things Then I'll be the least of your worries
Flies run around on the rabbit in the road And snakes move around in the flowers If I were a betting man I'd stay through the night And see her off in the morning
It's faster than running away And harder than words on a page In the end was it just... ...just too much to say? I'll wait for it I'll wait for it I'll wait for it
There's room still for weeping Between every stitch And I'll show you a place Where they still burn a witch If it doesn't start up Just give it a kick And wait for it Wait for it Wait for it
She snaps it at the base and puts it in her hair A twinkling of light in the auburn You climb her shoulders to catch a breath of air And leave her there at the bottom

Cicada sounds great, Mc. Trumpet is a nice touch. Day twenty-six probably...a cell phone? You sure?
Can you run me through the process? Do you use an app to record? Do you have to output the tracks one at a time into a mixing program? What kind of files do you get from the phone?
It's pretty basic...just allows for multiple tracks, is all. I've never tried doing anything more with it than multitracking (I literally just learned about the reverb from seeing that picture while finding the link to include here).
I adjust the input volume if I don't want a part distorted at all. For most of this stuff I pretty much fix the volume levels and then I do a mild compression/low end EQ adjustment once I have it in Audacity to bring the volume up....with the song in the new clip, I recorded the guitar pretty quietly and must have placed the phone reallllllllly well, though it's all very hastily done and I have no idea how I managed to get it sounding that way. I also did a touch more EQing, in that I adjusted a few mid range frequencies and some highs (I also EQ'd the theremin, because those things will pierce your goddamn ears if you don't). That's about it, I guess.
Generally, even that much work is too much...it goes against the immediacy of it...but I've been really low on stuff to do at work lately, so I decided to give it a shot.

Oh, and yeah, I output the files individually by emailing them to myself. You can copy them direct, but the computer I have my iphone sync'd to isn't the computer I use to work on music.

No morning should ever be as productive as this one. It's overwhelming to have this much suddenly piled on me.
Dulcimer. Wonderful, shimmery dulcimer. Twenty minutes worth, spread out over three different melodies. Woozy polka accordion. And ten minutes of this guy...

I've just listened to all this for the first time. It's really, really excellent stuff, all of it. I would buy an album. Hell, I would buy a boxset. You're clearly aware of production values and arrangement and all that good stuff. Real ear candy here. (And I don't hear many up and coming artists with so many vocal styles under their belt.)

Been working. Hopefully this song will be done in the coming week or so.
Ashokan.
If I have to leave you behind me, can you promise at least you will stay there? In the twinkling of the light of the moon on the water in the silence of Ashokan blue?
It was there, again, that old gypsy hustle. You promise these things without thinking. Well, damn your "then again," and your weathervane weeping. You be the ghost, and I'll haunt you.
Lose track of time. That's all that I'm asking. Spread out your toys on the lawn. And we'll have a go at chasing the sun down. I don't even care if we don't.
You carried the lion right to its supper. Did you secretly like it that way? And did you decide you could no longer fix it, open all the windows and leave?
Now there's a hole in the fence where they forced it, and a sign that says "nothing remains." But the warnings we give mean nothing to no one, and the world just keeps coming in.
These children grow tall. They don't ask about you. They don't have to know how it feels, when your heart is on the ground, and your dreams lay around you, under skies of Ashokan blue.
