finish my cd

It’s been going on since late 2004 and I think at last I have the skill to finish it?

I sincerely didn’t realize how lengthy a process this was going to be. Especially since my producer has two jobs and two other projects he’s working on. But I’m hanging in there. I have a dilemma now because the tracks I thought I liked, I don’t like anymore and the poems I’d selected, I’m not sure if I want to do them anymore. I’ve been creatively blocked for at least, I dunno, four months. I try to write something each week; a blog, an entry, anything to keep my brain active. Last night I came up with a decent hook, so maybe I’m opening up.(fingers crossed.)

The studio is almost back in operation. I’m hoping to get the mics hung and get my levels set this weekend. I ran home and jammed in the once-again cleaned-out room. I felt creative again. It’s been a while.

We just finished another track for the CD…I’m very happy about that even though these are scratch tracks and we still have to go into the studio I feel like were getting a lot done. I have material for the next CD too. Did I mention this is a spoken word CD?...I’m very happy!

I’ve completed this goal! And I forgot that it was a 43Things Goal until my reminder came this morning. My CD’s arrive from the factory on Wednesday and I’m having a CD release party next Friday.

Woo hoo!

I was starting to get a little discouraged but though the progress is slow, I am closer to being finish with the book and the CD..yey!

Focus!

A wave of motivation and creativity came over me during the past week so I’ve cranked out some music! Not only did I get inspired, but I got these instrumental submitted to Film/TV library listing with TAXI!

There’s one song that I wrote on Monday called “Urgent Room” which I wrote, recorded, mixed and submitted AFTER I was supposed to be in bed sleeping. It’s a 2 min soundtrack kind of thing for an operating room scene. You can check it out at http://www.broadjam.com/

Just search for me (Arthur Vance) as the artist.

I’ve got 16 songs recorded, but no song totally completed. There’s some pretty good stuff in this collection. I decided that completing the CD is one of the objectives, but not the driving objective or it would be done.

I’d like to finish this CD by the end of May 06, but I do have a bunch of other priorities so it may have to wait.

I’ll get it done this year. :)
