So this week I have been listening to all the demos I recorded in 2009, and I have come to realize that I haven’t finished one. I’m upset with this fact. If I was to take all of the work that it took to halfway record these songs and rolled it into one project, I would have a completed product. Dammit.
So here is where I am going to challenge myself. By the end of 2009, I WILL have two EPs completed. First, the Arrive by Sky EP. Then I will put full focus on The Falling Project’s EP. I can do this…
The Arrive by Sky stuff is fantastic, and I can’t wait to hear what finesse Tim can put on it.
The Falling Project stuff is super tight, but there is a lot to be done there… I will, and can be productive, and it starts tonight.

So the new project that I am working on will be called “A Secret to Start”. I am truly excited about the formula for this band. I will be producing 50% of the songs, and my friend will do the other half. My first song is called “What is this? A center for ants?”. The song has a HUGE “Clarity” feel to it, and the lyrics are probably my favorite thing I have written in a very long time. I’m so excited. I just can’t hide it. I’m about to lose control and I think I like it.
My buddy Chad is helping me with this project, as well as writing his own songs too. It will be very interesting to see how this turns out.
I plan to have the three song Arrive by Sky EP finished soon as well. It came out pretty good and vocals are coming along nice. Sooooooooooo…… Cheers! Let’s do this thing. (While I am both motivated and inspired)
Well, hopefully (fingers crossed) this guy not only shows up today, but blows our minds. We need that. We have a lot of momentum on the creative side, but jamming without our own drummer can get to a point where it feels good, but meaningless.
Speaking of, Tim tracked drums for us last week, and they came out pretty sweet. Sean and I are thinking of pushing out these songs as an EP pretty soon. I’m stoked. Sounds like a good idea. Now back to arguing over the perfect cover, lol.
I have been listening to a lot of Far lately, and I have to say that their album “Water and Solutions” is a huge, huge inspiration to me. Amazing stuff. It’s like I can here a part of every band that I have ever liked in their work. Then I come to find out that they have inspired these guys, too. Jimmy Eat World, Deftones, Weezer, Finch, are just a few ingredients needed to make a formula for this album…
PS. Go to their myspace and listen to their cover of Pony…. Wow. Just click on a link. Here. or Here…
Well, here I go again. Back on the blogging bandwagon again.
So we have a band name. I am excited about it. We are developing a concept for the whole thing. Maybe even a story… That would be fun. So, we have been writing a lot of new songs lately. We are up to six songs, and three are being recorded now. Sean and I have different tastes in the elements that formulate good music, but somehow we connect when we are writing. This stuff is coming out awesome. Want an idea of what it will be like? See Far. See Dredg. See Brand New.
See Arrive by Sky. Yes. That’s it. We are Arrive by Sky. Hopefully I’ll have samples soon. Maybe all kinds of stuff… I’m stoked. Aren’t you?
