I think my next batch of songs will be a more true acoustic record. I think I’m gonna record my next batch of originals without the acoustic/electric. Don’t get me wrong, I love the acoustic/electric but I wanna go for something different this time around. I think I’m gonna play original songs with a real acoustic guitar. Ya know a regular acoustic guitar without all those built-in electronics.
I was gonna buy myself a new regular acoustic guitar but I don’t have to now. I just found one in the attic that a family member of mine left in there. This acoustic guitar never got played and it’s been stuck in the attic for a lot of years so I thought. As long as this guitar is never gonna get played, it’s mine now. So I grabbed it from the attic, put new strings on it and she sounds beautiful. It’s a great guitar. A regular acoustic does sound different than a acoustic/electric. I played both guitars and noticed the difference in sound. The regular acoustic sounds better, in my opinion. A bigger and brighter sound which is what I was looking for, a more true acoustic & folky like sound.
I wanna get back to recording again. I got all this new recording equipment that I bought myself The Focusrite interface and the speaker monitors but haven’t used them much yet but I will. Was just waiting to come up with song ideas. I’ll re-record some of my older songs and try to write a bunch of new ones.
Maybe try to make that internet album that I was talking about. I would love to try to see if I can sell my music on Itunes, Apple Music & Spotify. Doing a little research on that stuff… I think the ways to do it is to get your music copyrighted for one and then you gotta find a distribution of some sort. I’m looking into it.
What would my next batch of songs be about? Don’t know. I’ll just write whatever I come up with. I could write ballads, acoustic rock… write songs about myself, politics or try to write some more love songs. I would like to write more political songs ’cause I have some pretty good ideas and I don’t think they’re gonna be anti-Obama songs. Political songs that will say what’s going on in the world.
I would like the album thing to happen. It’s all gonna be homemade, I think. A Do it yourself kind of thing. I finally have great sounding recording equipment so my next recordings will be “perfectly” clean with no background noises, no hissing or humming… none of that shit. My next batch of songs will sound like a pro studio almost, just wait for ’em.
If I ever finish the album, I’ll design a cover for it and all for the internet only. It’s not gonna be a physical CD release ’cause I can’t afford that at this time. Nobody cares for CD’s anymore anyway so the internet is the best way to go. The album cover will probably be nothing fancy… just me holding my guitar will probably be on the front of it.
Hope to get a new demo/album out in 2016. Hopefully. I wanna get back out there playing live again… regular gigs or open mics ’cause I’ll admit, I miss performing on the stage. Haven’t done that in a long while.
