Thinking While Recording
of Kitchen Timers, Thinking, and a big red Record button.
CONTEXT
Ruts, stuckness, colored light bulbs, and possibly a bout of serious laziness.
Stuck
Uh Oh…. the album project has come to an impasse. What to do? Tune in next time, when Tom will probably type about something else because that’s what is in the queue……
Consistency is NOT My Middle Name
Marketing, consistency, it that always a good thing?, plus tweets that are longer lasting than my deodorant.
I **STILL** Have No Idea
Why create an album> Whence comes the drive, the necessity? … and even more probably unanswerable questions. Then there’s my shoelaces….
Meetings and Schedules
Some info about recording “The Meeting” – the next being recorded for Tom’s next album The Week Begins. Some pix will be available over at tomrule.info – take a look at the righthand side.
A Favor, Please
I have a LOT of trouble describing what I create. You could probably have a field day figuring out why….. but for now, I need some help. https://bit.ly/TomsMusicDescription
Process Part 2
More pondering about how I go about creating music in the studio, and how it relates to these artisanal missives cranked out on a vintage typewriter. I don’t know why I’m writing about this – perhaps it is because I’m still figuring it out, even after all of these years.
Process
I may have a really weird workflow – but it [mostly] works for me. Then again, how I work in the studio keeps changing, which is…… weird. Further proof I am an odd duck? Read on to see what you think.
