Right now, my friends Ron, Mark & myself are getting our recording studio set up in Ron's home. We converted a two-car garage, built sound dampening walls to acoustically dampen the noise from the outside world, and he's got his electric drums all set, and we're going through the finall settings for the recording to take place.
Since the studio has been around through a major redecorating of his home, the place was a wreak. The Suspended Ceiling Panels were loose, cracked & busted. And so much stuff was leaned against the wall, that the Support grid for the ceiling had come loose on one side of the room and was sagging dangerously.
We managed to straighten out, clean up and the studio looks better than ever. Ron has invested in some awsome monitors where we can plug our headphones into, and we can rehearse without making much noise at all. We're gearing up but good!
We're looking for a lead singer, and a guitarist. Hopefully, we can find a talented individual that can do both.
Ron's a really great drummer, Works durring the day though.
I'm pretty good as a percussionist. And I've just aquired ownership of a keyboard, Casio ToneBank CT-650. With Midi In-out & through, Sustain & Volume foot pedal jacks, Tuning, and outputs for left & right & phones.
Mark is our bassist, Sings and is a fair percussionist. He's the "Political Activist" of the group. Pickets and demonstrations, Rallys and all sorts of stuff like that to impeach the president. (Like THAT would ever work!
So with one or two added members to round out our sound. We'll be rehearsing, and recording tracks in a few short months. One of our goals is to play the colledge circuit, and maybe get some cruise ship gigs. So we know we can't be too political in our "covers" song list. And be very mainstream to be acceptable on a chruise ship.
So, Yeah... No biting the heads off bats and doves...
Darn.
what kind of music are you guys into?
but I am a singer, and I play the guitar and keyboard. I love making music and I love singing, just seem to have a lot on my plate at the moment. I love learning new instruments too - my next one to try will be the cello. (As soon as I've saved up the £300 needed to buy one...............)
