A month after




Well, it's been just about a month after the RPM Challenge wrapped up. What a crazy experience! The last week of February found me the busiest I think I've ever been. My head was spinning at 10Pm Feb 28th as I put the last touches on Faces before choosing the track listing and burning it to hard copy.

I honestly don't remember a time where I'd been so happy that I did fist pumps, this was that time. To hold the finished product of a months worth of time, energy, emotion, sweat, tears, words and music... the joy was pouring out of me.

I sent the CD to RPM HQ March 1st and went to work creating a few videos for some of the songs.

One Big Disaster



I also edited the album down to about 7 minutes, highlighting parts of the songs, and created a collage of Faces and the documentation of the recording process.

I was happy and surprised tonight to see my collage video on the RPM main page mixed in with some other RPMers' videos. That collage was also presented to my History of Rock and Roll class a few weeks ago. My presentation was on the process of recording an album within the confines of the shortest month of the year... I got an A in the class! haha

A nice way I could summarize Faces would be something I wrote to a friend of mine, I said:

The album may have been rushed, thrown together, grossly unedited, often out of tune and out of time, but I'm so stoked about it! haha.



That's about it, for now.
