… Bits update …

It looks like another deadline is aproaching and I won’t be finishing my solo record “Bits” on time. That’s ok … I’m not on a label and I’m doing everything myself so it is taking me as long it will take. Does that make sense?

I guess the good news is that it is that I’m getting to make it the way I want to. This means that I have only been recording when I feel inspired to record. I only sit down and write lyrics or chord progressions and melodies when I feel like it. I’ve been writing the bulk of the material for over a year and I started the primary tracking for the record in my spare time last June. I figure I’ll be done in the next few months.

I have two music videos almost finished (“Combat” and “No Escape!”) and a bunch more in the planning stages. It’s strange to be working on videos before finishing the record, but that’s my style I guess.

I’ve also been contending with an upper respiratory illness for a few weeks and haven’t wanted to immortalize the sqwanky sound of my cracking voice on my first full length album in ten years.

Nevertheless … it will get done.

I plan on finishing up some small pieces of “Night Driver” as soon as my throat clears. Then, it will be on to the final re-tracking of “Combat” and “No Escape!” in order to lock down the music videos.
