After completing a self-posed challenge to write a song a day for each of the 31 days of May, recording and blogging them daily (achortohope.tumblr.com). I decided to take some of them to the studio (that linked thematically), and experiment with some different styles.
As for now, I will be releasing the songs one at a time, as they are all recorded but just getting some finishing touches. Hopefully over the next 3 weeks you should be seeing a new song up every week, so stay tuned! For now enjoy a song I recorded this school year at Whitewater Productions through CBC Recording & Production Basics Class.
This soon coming EP is really about trying different things musically, and the full-length album (fingers crossed) will be on its way for 2012 will hone in on a more unified style. Enjoy the diversity, let me know what you like, dislike, want to hear more of, and here's hoping within the next 6 months there will be much more to hear!
