Finished Mixing 3 song EP!

As you may remember, I started the process of making a full-lenth CD a couple of months ago. I’m hoping for it to be finished by the end of this year. In the meantime, I’ve decided to release a sampler version of the eventual full-length, which will include 3 songs that I’ve already begun to work on. The songs will be Elizabeth Dawn, Please Come to Brooklyn, and She’s Not Waiting (which will the eventual title track on the full-length). I’ve been working so far at BaranStoll Studios here in the East Village on New York. My engineer is Vivian Stohl who has just been doing an amazing job at getting a really great final sound out of the takes from recent weeks. We have just finished the mixing of these three songs. Actually, I’m writing from the studio right now, finishing up about 2:30am. My plan is to have these songs up and the EP version out in about a week. Stay tuned!

Just another reminder that if you are interested in helping me raise funds to complete this CD, you can go to the Donate/Pre-Order the CD page here on my site. Lots of great gifts that I’m offering for donations, including merchandise, house concerts, and the ability to sneak into a future video I’m going to be making. You can also check out some pix of recent studio dates on posts below.

This past couple of weeks, I began recording scratch tracks with Lee, who is working as my producer. We are recording what one might call the rhythm section of my music before we head into the actual studio for recording. This amounts to a rough of the guitar and rhythmic click track to use as a guide to record to. I also began working on some new video footage with my friend Jennifer for my song “Please Come To Brooklyn”. See pix below. There are for sure a few themes emerging in the process of making these recordings and video. Can you guess? Dogs, small and makeshift spaces, portable computers, and no sleep.
