My album's been out in the wild for almost three months now. Seems like longer, or maybe shorter. All I know is it's out there. If you've released any sort of creative project, music or not, you know the feeling.
Wanted to share this little snapshot of the making of “Snapping Turtle.” If you feel like you are trapped in the land of people noodling while hearing nothing but a drum loop - welcome to the recording process. It’s having a sneak peek into a GROUP ASSIGNMENT from the 7th grade.
Now, I know I just made that sound horrible. It is both horrible and amazing. This clip allows you to hear a bit of what the song amounts to in the end, but you can definitely hear (and see) it ALL coming together, which is the amazing part. That is the magic of recording, when you are on the chase and you hear the dogs barking ahead of you because they are on the trail of the song. For those of you that I lost with that last sentence, that is exactly what recording music is–a dark night of coon hunting.
There we all were, not able to see much, just following the trail of a sound. No matter how long the journey, we just kept our ears perked and let our feet wander towards that distant signal that we're onto something.
Thanks to Ryan Hartley for the video magic and for the boys that helped make the recording happen at Nutthouse Studios in Sheffield, AL.
