The Path of Least Resistance
In 2009, I decided to write and record an album. Here it is.
Ok. So it's not a full album. Only five tracks, weighing in at less than 20 minutes. But it still took me nearly a year to write, record, mix and put together.
Originally, the idea had been to release one song per month, over the course of 2009. This was proposed by my friend Erin, whose New Year's resolution had been to take one photograph per day, for the entire year. I'm not sure how she did, but I fell behind almost immediately. It took me half a year to complete the first track. With that in mind, this is probably a pretty solid set.
All told, I'm pretty proud of this. I've learned quite a few things. I'm a better guitarist. I miss playing the drums, but I'm pretty good at programming them. This project has also cultivated quite a bit of patience in me, as nearly every note in every format had to be played several times (sometimes countless times) before it could be kept and saved.
I'd love to know what you think. You can download an MP3 file from each track's page, or download all tracks here. Also, if you're interested, I've compiled a hilarious list of factoids about this album and its recording process.
