I’ve been spending a lot of time these days recording or preparing to record music. I’m pretty excited about this project.
As a Christmas gift for friends, I’ve decided to record some music. Specifically, Christmas songs! Basically, I’m recording three traditional Christmas songs (“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “Jingle Bell Rock” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”) and one original (untitled; I’ve got to come up with a title for this!).
I’m recording in my friend’s home studio and so far I’ve got the basic acoustic guitar tracks down and lead vocals are complete as well. Of course, my dear friend AW has the unenviable task of doing more of the engineering/production stuff that I know nothing about.
The next step is overdubbing some electric guitars and working out some keyboard parts over the next couple weeks. There’ll also be a lot of work on harmonies and background vocals.
The idea is to use percussion (very basic drums) as an adornment, rather than something that keeps a beat.
More update to come soon… Watch this space!
