this was a cool thread. i was such a young idealist haha.


how has everyone been?

For the solo stuff, I used a condenser mic (M-Audio Nova) to record separate tracks for guitar and vocals. I layered them on one another. For the horn on the few tracks, i used an sm-57. I used garageband and there are virtually no effects. If I were to do the same thing now (this was recorded 4 yea...

you guys have a good groove. ever though of expanding the band? thank you thank you man. i have man - finding decent musicians at boston college is tough, but we're going to start heading into berklee territory. we'd love some funk horns, a hammond b3 player, and possibly some more vocalists.

thanks man - its got a weird funk vibe to it. the drum and bass presence in the music have really improved drastically over the last year.

right... the missed notes come with practice and comfort. but you really have to focus on the vocal melody. the guitar has to be beyond second nature so you can focus on your singing. overall, just keep playing. its good that you can recognize the imperfections afterwards. as you keep having experie...

Your guitar playing is spot on, and it doesn't seem to be affected by the singing (unless you did this on separate tracks - then that would explain it). You have a very dylanesque timbre to your voice. You embrace it well, but there are times where you lose pitch. Don't try to do too much with the v...

oh shit. thanks guys, i appreciate it. we've been doing a lot of songwriting and working on creating a unique sound. hopefully its starting to show...

Rather than having you guys download it, just go to http://www.theprojectboston.com/home I'd like to know what you think. Its from one of our recent shows and my buddy mixed in crowd noise for comedic effect. The vocals sit back in the mix, but the heart of the song is the instrumental progression 3...

the day i have free food backstage is the day that i know i have made it as an artist. sadly, i'm still dipping out the back door to grab a slice of pizza 10 minutes before stage time haha.

i mean, other than the obligatory heavy drug addiciton, i think you're dead on!

thanks dude! the girls dug it too - i think this recording is gonna get me laid for sure haha

oh wow... thanks guys. i'm looking forward to the performance.

mostly cause the girls in the dance group are all smokin hot haha

I didn't tune to raised B, because i didn't want to restring. But I had to record this for a friend - she's choreographing a dance to it to perform with me playing live and wanted to hear how it would sound.

Figured i'd let you guys take a listen.

Well thanks. The word chill bothers me too haha. We say the song "meanders" and then "opens up" - I think the movement to 3/4 in the chorus gives it a driving feeling.

It's called "Neighbor's Wife" Lyrically, and melodically, its kind of a departure from lots of my other stuff. This song sounds great with the band, too - our new direction on this next album is to create very diverse music tied together by a few common threads. The main progression is in 4/4, the c...
