Bass tracks soon :)

I'm getting excited!!!  I am now in Kamloops to record bass tracks at a friend's recording studio.  I've been working on drum editing and dreaming up textures & arrangements.   Overall I'm feeling good, it's not spring yet but I've got a spring energy going on.

back again with beats in hand

I had 2 sessions with Dan Gaucher, an awesome drummer who used to play with me a lot back in the nujazz days... hahaha, we managed to get rhythm onto 13 tracks!!  so I have a lot I can work with.  We recorded the session in my loft, and I built a fort of sleeping bags around him to dampen the sound... some of the songs we just did in one take, he has such great instincts and the fresh energy of the first take is hard to replicate.
