Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
04 12 2005
I've tidied it up a (very) little and have decided that I'll re-record it at some point properly. It's a very beautiful piece and I've not done justice to it. For those of you curious to take a listen, check out BrightBlueRose.ogg. Thanks to Seb for his feedback on the rough-cut mixdown last night. Lyrics and melody by Jimmy McCarthy; arrangement, piano, keyboards, vocals and mixing by myself.
Next weekend promises complete mania for me as I have an all-day theatre experience to do sound tech for - but I will record more in the near future. You have been warned ;-)

After too many busy weekends I've finally found time to finish recording "Bright Blue Rose." The piano track didn't quite provide enough 'body' so I dropped in some low level warm pads on top, just to 'pad' it out a little. I'm still working the bugs out of my new recording setup, and those of you more aware of my singing will undoubtedly be able to spot that my voice hasn't yet recovered from my cold earlier this week.
For those of you that have provided me with samples of your own personal recordings and performances recently, I must apologise and ask you to wait until I've had a chance to master the track and clean up the ragged edges just a little. I'll post a link early this week, hopefully.
I have an edirol FA-101 and an M-Audio Firewire 410 to test more thoroughly, so my next project is a toss up between some Christy Moore material and a selection of Christmas pieces. Votes / suggestions to the usual e-mail address please :-)
