Grand Dark Feeling of REVISION.
Posted February 9, 2006
Inspired by popular opinion, I re-mastered "Grand Dark Feeling of Emptiness."
Remember, the link to my AIM screenname is at the bottom of this page. FEEDBACK is always APPRECIATED. Positive OR negative. As a writer and a musician, I understand that revision is essential and audience input is necessary for revision. I welcome constructive criticism, although don't just IM me to say "you can't sing," or, "your music sucks." I know these things. Constructive criticism is comments like "the volume on the lead guitar track is a bit loud" or "the megaphone vocal track takes away from the serenity of the first verse" or something like that. If you're going to tell me WHY you don't like it, be prepared to tell me HOW to fix it and WHAT I can do to make it better.
www.purevolume.com/natemeadows is a good friend of mine. Be sure to check out the beginnings of his electronic project and look forward to a full-length collaboration between us. I will forego my folk roots for the time being and you can expect the final product to be somewhere between SunnO))), The Faint, and Bright Eyes' Digital Ash album.
In the meantime, feel free to use the link to my email address to drop suggestions for cover songs. I'm not a very good lyricist, so I tend to cover songs with lyrics and write either instrumental pieces or pieces with a few short, strong lines and endless waves of powerful music...or not so powerful. It's all a matter of perspective.
Also be sure to check out www.purevolume.com/leahhutchins. Her crappy recording device prevents high sound quality, but her voice speaks (sings?) for itself. Sooner or later, I will show her how to connect her 8-track to her computer to transfer master tracks, but until then, take what you can get and feel honored, people, because this girl will be on VH1 Storytellers within the next 10 years. I promise.
And that's that for now. Until next time...
