Studio Update – It Sounds of the Winter

It Sounds of the Winter Cove

Great weekend.  The brass instrument I chose for the bridge solo was a saxaphone.  I got it out of the Kontakt factory library.  Amazingly expressive.  Final bass guitar recorded as well.  Using my good old Ibanez; aptly named The Purple Master.  A few minutes ago I recorded 10 takes of acoustic guitar.  They might end up being the final versions.  Won’t know until I roll up the sleeves and start editing.

Studio Update – It Sounds of the Winter

It Sounds of the Winter Cove

04/08/16 — rounded out the general arrangement through the end of the song yesterday.  I need one more instrument to solo during a long bridge section.  Considering some type of brass.  Gearing up for some final recordings this weekend.

04/05/16 — came up with a killer guitar part to feature in the last third of the song.  Tough to play.  I’m using my Les Paul, named Xeelee, for this one.   “I’ve got blisters on my fingers!”, Ringo.

04/03/16 — I’ve been making great progress on this song.  Around 50% complete.  Very excited about the developing background vocals and organ part.
