OK, tonight I just finished tracking vocals with Eileen Faxas. Rainel Pino helped with the vocal production chores and it went really well. I am still astounded with Eileen's ability to sing for 8 hours at a time and sound consistantly good, with very little 'vocal quality drift'.
I saw Tony Endieveri today and he chastised me for not writing lately, (and he's right), so here I am doing the deal after a 13 hour day.
This morning I got here early to finish listening to the demos sent to me to consider for the finals of the NARAS Demo Contest. I had to pick three songs out of a field of 45 to consider with the other judges next Sunday. This has been very hard because there was a pretty high percentage of good recordings. Mostly, I was impressed with the musicianship. The songcraft, (lyrics, arrangement), seemed average overall, and the quality of the recording was pretty iffy. The winner gets a bunch of studio time, and mastering and duplication. SugarHill Studios donated the grand prize, so I hope whoever wins tears it up in the studio.
Yes, I did hear some of my, and my co-worker's music, but I voted my conscious. (You figure it out). All of the submissions were anonymous so I didn't know who anyone was, (besides the few I recognized), and I liked that part of it. It really allowed me to focus on the music.
I also turned in my latest mixes for Solange Knowles. I should be hearing from Music World Music tomorrow re: approval.
Tomorrow I rehearse with Dreadneck, and then I'm off to ride motorcycles with my Dad, and brother Bill in the Texas Hill Country for a few days. I promise to keep writing when I get back.
