Recording Tuesdays live!

Did I mention I was fired up to get going again? We set up the studio last night and put down four scratch tracks - an updated 'Icarus' Sister', 'Dead Susan', and the two brand new ones, 'Plum Velvet' and 'Being Eowyn'. Goodness but my voice is rusty... so I'm fixing that; I've tracked down my old singing teacher, who moved shortly after family stuff put music on the back burner more than a year ago, and with whom I had lost touch. We're booking up the next session and I shall be working hard. Likewise, my finger callouses are not happy with me, but they'll adapt.

It did feel good to be back in the studio setting, though, and we're intending that this become a regular date.

Oh, wonderful!

Except...rusty? It sure didn't sound that way to me.

You're very kind... I'm glad it came across OK, but I know how it felt, and I Can Do Better. Will do, when I've shaken this cold v.2 and reconnected with my voice teacher...

Well, y'know... I know I could've done better for my GoH spot, too. There's a couple of lines in Sedna where I messed up the timing horribly, but just forged ahead and tried to get an "I meant to do that" vibe across, and it seems to have worked.

But yes, I know what you mean... and I'm delighted you've gotten back on this horse and are working on getting your rustyness back into shape. I'm looking forward to hearing/seeing you do more music again, delighted that you're doing this and horribly pleased/proud if I can claim a tiny part fo the inspiration for it ;)

Yup, I did. Quite, er, definitely.
Your reaction goes to show why an "I meant to do that, it's *entirely* intentional* attitude works wonders on stage ;)

Yay for recording and yay for inspiration!!! Similar things happening in this part of the world too :-) (Although T. spent last night extemporising in a medieval-stylee in preparation for some mystery plays...)

I now have a bizarre image of myself riding round a stage on a bicycle while holding a mic... thank you for the note of surreality!

Oh, yay!

I'm particularly interested by the mention of updating "Icarus' Sister". Is this with the lyrics you have up on your webpage, now?

With two bridges instead of one - but I'd recorded it before I wrote the other bridge, and the full version was meant to feature in something but never did.

It had been a long time since I sang that one - it was a regular um, fifteen years ago and more... golly...

Yay for Recording Tuesdays - may they last a long time and be successful! :)

I think you'll like it... only I hadn't expected this whole Shania Twain vibe to come out with it...

Now I just need to shake this cold!
