New music, if you can believe it...

There is new music to be heard on the Audio page. Jeremy wrote this tune, once untitled, now called "Because of Valerie, This is Why?"

This was a two session story. First we met and got this one and one from Todd on the table, hammering out some details, figuring out the feel and the tempo, discussing possible instrumentation (The song was originally sketched out on a mandolin, but in the end, we liked where the recording was going, and didn't keep it.) And then we gave ourselves some time to, um, live with it for a while (read: it took us a few weeks to get back together--Todd is taking the blame for that).

Finally we put it together last Friday with a few guitars and a couple of vocals from Jeremy, and some keyboard playing from Todd. Synth recording technology being what it is, it took a few days to settle on a keyboard sound, and still another to figure out how to route that sound back into the recording, but in the end it's all there.
