release an album

I’m doing the RPM challenge this month. The goal: record an entire album in February. It doesn’t have to be slick, it doesn’t have to be well-produced. This isn’t THE album, it’s just AN album.

I have so many musical projects I’d like to do, it’s probably over-ambitious. I’d like to release an album with a band, lo-fi garage rock style. I’d like to release a solo album with mostly acoustic material. I’d like to do a collaboration album where I’d write songs with a bunch of my musician friends and have different songwriters and performers on each song (myself being the only constant). And a bunch more.

I should really pick up a cheap 4 or 8 track digital recorder, the prices are becoming more and more reasonable, and with “virtual tracks,” you have a lot of versatility.

I did record one album with my high school band, but it wasn’t actually released. I’d like to see my stuff in stores. I’m really hoping the band thing works out, so I can see some plans come to fruition.
