Joel and I got together in the studio again last night.

We worked on some tunes for Joel’s upcoming solo record. I felt like we are really on the same page as far as the direction of his tunes. I was pretty happy with some of the ideas we tried last night. We also jammed for a bit, and it was fun. Hopefully, we will work on things again very soon, and I can post a clip for your listening pleasure.

I am very lucky to have such a great, supportive father. I owe him so much, and I know that I can count on him in any situation.

Dad, I appreciate everything you have given me. You’re at the top of my short list of heros.
I love you.

Last night went pretty well. Joel had a new song idea, and we started a simple groove to work on. I had to reinstall Reason, which took way too long, and we had to break for dinner, so we didn’t get much done. It was fun, though, and there were many good ideas floating around. We plan on continuing next week. The new studio space was very comfortable, and easy to work in. I am excited to see what I can do to improve it even more.

It feels good to be involved in music again.

Things are starting to reach some level of normality after the move. We are all settled in, and mostly unpacked. We are even ready to start hanging pictures.

Everything is going well. The new furniture is perfect, The bar is all set up and fully functional. All the new wiring we ran works perfectly, and I even got the studio set back up.

That room is awesome. It is the perfect home office/audio/video/photo editing space for me. I can now work on my dual monitor setup while editing video on a 40inch screen projected on the wall in front of me. The best part is that the room sounds good. At this point, I’m not planning on adding too much sound treatment. I managed to fit all my guitars, keyboards, drums and everything else in there. Everything is within reach, but there is still plenty of space there. It would be cramped, but you could hold a band practice in there. I will take some pictures of it soon, and hopefully there will be plenty of creative output to host here on the site.

My friend Joel is coming by tonight, and we will see what we come up with.
