This was my first MacBook session of recording that has ever been. Thanks to a friend for lending me their machine and suggesting that i try a few direct input methods for acoustic guitar. I really dug in and enjoyed the recording time today. I created something very special in a relatively short amount of time using only 4 tracks throughout the entire process, and a rare "drop out" of a drum kit that only lasts for about 32 bars. The result is a four-take ending that ended up reminding me of an identity change, because even the tempo of the song changes  a a few times while keeping thew same F# Major tonality. I loved recording it, and I even would dare say there is some decent playing within the solo interchange of two guitars. I hope you will enjoy this brand new guitar instrumental.

Realizing that the title is not the most creative, I recorded "Short Song for Babies" one day after coming home from the hospital with our new baby girl. There were relatives in town and I was showing my niece how a digital recording studio works. She performs the tambourine on the track! Its a very simple recording with 4 tracks, three are acoustic guitar tracks. The last is a low level percussion.

the song is a soft, near-lullaby recording. It runs just under two minutes long and I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks for listening!

"Rewired" straight from the recording studio. I snapped two new instrumentals last night. Both of which started in the evening and both went in different directions. I find that when I record fast songs, I long for the slow jams. This goes both ways, but tonight was one of the few nights that I could finish two brand new concepts. The first of which I have named "Rewired". Enjoy it and share!

This was a fun one to record for sure! Started with a great bass line that insisted to be fully produced to completion. I love the scant and loosely played synth keys, the guitar that is just lightly peppered, a solo that is more groove than power, and a cleverly worded visit to a past event that led for a humorous line that I nearly laughed all the way through! Enjoy the song, I will post the lyrics soon!

Lyrics: 

Every time I'm on the line,

I feel disconnected without a dime. 

I'm like a lemon mixed without a lime,

And I just don't remember what it's like to feel fine,

And I'm all alone

All alone here.

All alone. 

All alone here. 

I remember back to other times,

When we used to hang out outside the lines, 

And I stepped out of bounds, was penalized. 

Hey, where's the ref to call you on your lies?

And I'm all alone

All alone here.

All alone. 

All alone right here.

Misdirection, I apologize

I guess I just had never really realized,

Dating your room mate was a local crime?

I'm sorry you're looking at me mystified

Now I'm not alone,

Not alone here anymore,

Now I'm not alone. 

Not alone here.

That is a startling way to start a sentence, podcast (pawdcast), title a song, and especially to actually carry out. What happened? Today, 34 of my 7th graders were given a special chance to create music for the world. We instituted a few ground rules and opened a brand new session of Garageband with an iPad. These were are guidelines:

Lesson plan: Each decision must be made by the group, with leadership from volunteers and randomly selected students.

This process must be orderly, productive, and collaborative.

If it goes well, we can do this again sometime!

Voting for one of your favorites, and ACCEPTING the result in a positive way.

BPM (class majority vote)

Slow (60-80 bpm) (1 finger)

Medium (81-110 bpm) (peace sign)

Fast (111-140 bpm) (3 fingers)

DRUMS:

Choosing a digital “drummer” - student selection

How complex should we start - student selection?

How loud should the drums be? - student selection

What cymbals should we use? [hi-hat, ride?] - student selection

Bass: Complete the rhythm section! (student picks)

Choose the key

Type of bass

Style of bass

In 45 minutes, we had developed quite a lot of agreement, I patched the instruments, tone, and notes to finish after class had ended. We worked well, and excitedly, to vote up and down on ideas and concepts with many instruments, volume levels, and styles of performance. Students facilitated transitions and made instrument selections. 

Results: listen for yourself! Its an oddly pleasing mix of fast rock beats, electric organ, piano, and here's where it takes off: glockenspiel, trombone, bass, and synthesizers. 

Overall, the class worked well together and really enjoyed the creative process, learned to compromise, give their input, and create tonality as a group, thats a big accomplishment, no matter how the end product sounds. 

Enjoy class! Thanks for listening everyone, new "more regular" music podcast coming later this week!

I am slated for February for my next album release. The addition of a new family member to come may alter the planned date, but this song, "Anywhere" is certain to be a part of the new collection. I love the early keyboard chords and the echoing that occurs until you get the first few drum beats. There is some slim confidence to the vocals that reflects the emotional center of the tune, and motivation of finding that special person to go anywhere with. I hope you enjoy this free song download!

Wednesday night recording following some  advanced planning for my classes. Quite a productive Wednesday. I was excited for the opportunity to sit with my Taylor (guitar), and begin to write. I really relished a keyboard line that was the first track laid down in the session. Then with an alt/90's drum style, I began to lay down some notes in Ab and then C minor. Eventually I visualized ocean waves, and the recording was off to guide itself.  I hope that you will enjoy listening to "Ocean" by Danny Hauger. 

Lyrics and Music by Danny Hauger - "Ocean"

There’s a feeling,

Like I’ve been here before.

Like I was a wave,

That has been washed ashore.

The sea foam,

The turqoise,

The sunset,

The wind’s noise.

For every swell that approaches, I’m here today.

For every grain of sand that blows away,

Every human emotion, I send to you.

As I sit by the ocean, I think of you.

You feel it,

That I’m here with you.

Absorbing, like I am sinking too.

I’ll stay here, Its not my time to go.

Be near me, and you can help me through.

I have been recording guitar exploring the Shure MV5 USB microphone and its a wonderful recording tool. Quality is extremely high and I am enjoying the response and range. Proof is in the digital pudding today, when I used one microphone to record both vocals and guitar, and with even this informal placement, I recorded a beautiful version of my song "I Want to Live With You". Enjoy!

I almost lost what I had in the end. 

I compromised, acquiesced, did not give in. 

I want to live with you, 

I want to have kids with you. 

Flow up a river with you, and go blind. 

You come along, 

You walk my way, 

The flow of nature

The glow of grace,

The sight of sound.

I sense the feel. 

I feel calm, safe, and secure. 

I almost lost what I had in the end. 

I compromised, acquiesced, did not give in. 

I want to live with you, 

I want to have kids with you. 

Flow up a river with you, and go blind. For all time.

“Diversions” - music and lyrics by Danny Hauger (Am) 9/11/2016

Diversions take you off your course

Aspersions - do they cast their doubt on you?

Subversion - taking you back the other way

Submersion - feeling buried in your own mind.

Incursion - try to reclaim what’s yours

Inversion - when you’re flipped out

Dispersion - when you’re widely spread

A version - of who you used to be.

And I wanted you so badly

.And I wanted for you to know.

And I think of you so kindly.

Does the world look at you the same way?

Its a struggle to maintain focus

Its a battle to keep your plan

Momentum comes back to bite you

When your strategy won’t go hand in hand.

After recording a Hauger History Podcast on the Middle Colonies last night, I was really on a momentum kick and ready to record some music. I wanted an instrumental rock / slow jam, that I could bring down to get ready for evening planning. In about 30 minutes I kicked down this memorable melody with a groovy bassline, and it was ready to post, even with a few wrong solo notes, I love the feel of the track, I hope you will too!
