July 2006.

In which I am trying to decide on the best version of the title piece for my new album:

In which I enter the big time of recording

Why we compose.

in which I account for my activity as a composer this year...

Words of encouragement from A No-talent Genius

It's the musician's equivalent of doodling...

I came here just to look around and try to decide what to do next. http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=93235 t http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=92039 http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=89698

( in which I talk to the singers about our recent recording session.)

First of all - let me say how much I value the comments and encouragement I've found here in this forum, particularly as I attempt to do these recording sessions. I've got a great bunch of choral musicians, I've got a shoestring budget, and I've got the technology.

My live recording, album making, summertime Christmas music venture continues.

I woke up in a panic… I don’t know what the f%#^ I’m doing! I can write the music – I know exactly how I want it to be. I can rehearse and conduct the music – I know exactly how it should sound. But I can’t produce a recording. I don’t know who can

We're getting ready to record an album of Christmas music with Garage Band (What!! are you nuts?!)

Using GarageBand on an old iBook G4 in a live recording session and other trips into fantasyland.

It's where I talk about being a serious composer; living the genius life.
