My house could be your home...

Playlist
Fripp & Eno - No Pussyfooting
Fripp & eno - Evening Star
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Five New Songs

Up at 6 again and spent around 90 minutes sorting out the blog and reposting deleted entries...

Soundtracked by the "new" Fripp & Eno discs...

After breakfast, some remixing of the two parts of "The Sound of the Fall", then to work on another new song...

Written and recorded completely from scratch between 10 am and 4 pm, the three minute "My House Could Be Your Home" features possibly too many vocal lines - I may have over-egged the pudding...

I now have five new songs for the 2009 CBQ LP:-
The Sound of the Fall pt 1
Please Stay With Us
Blend
My House Could Be Your Home
The Sound of the Fall pt 2

You might think it's strange to write a song (or even four out of five of these songs) in just a few hours (I spend more time recording these demos than I do writing the songs)...

I very seldom these days re-write lyrics from the first draft or so (although the two songs from last weekend were based on two year old unused lyrics)...

I prefer the meaning (if any) to occur to me upon subsequent listening, or even to be suggested to me by the Exec Producer or other listeners, as they often give a slant I've not thought of myself...

A good family tea at Anne's mum's with Jane, Bobby, Ollie and Kitty and Keith and Maureen...

Two new projects - "The Acceptable Face of King Crimson" for Maureen - who has not been impressed with the 3CD introduction I compiled for Keith - and a "Prog Rock Sampler" for Bobby, who thinks he hates this music but has never actually listened to it...

Back home, for more quick listening and tweaking before uploading today's MP3 - which is available for free via the link to the right (it's in the 2009 demos folder)...

CLOUDLAND BLUE QUARTET - MY HOUSE COULD BE YOUR HOME


"MaAtch of the Day 2" and a taped "Merlin" from last night rounded off the day...

Highlight of the Day : Multi-layered vocal lines...
