Recording Limbs

This past weekend was spent at Pox studio in Durham, making an EP for my solo adventure I call Organos. For over a year, I have been recording on my own with the barest of essentials. My good friend, and fellow musician Nathan White (AKA Nathan Oliver)-has been encouraging me to give these songs a proper shot at a decent recording. He volunteered his time this weekend, and we worked hard to get as much done as we could. We succeeded at completing a total of 7 songs totalling 15 minutes. My songs are brief and to the point. Some are more like composition pieces rather than standard songs. Most of the tracks are built from a bass line, and then I add everything else from there. Vocals/lyrics are always last, getting placed where there is room. Sometimes, the vocals are sounds instead of words. Some songs are more instrumental than others. Non traditional instruments were used for percussive additions. Boxes, plastic bottles, spoons, a glass vase, stomps, & hand claps are some examples. All instruments and vocals were written and played by me. There are 2 tracks that will get some real drums added by my friend, and gifted musician Wes Phillips. We hope to release a small run of EPs on Pox in the Fall of 2009, entitled Limbs.
