Relative lull in the Force…loads of uncut audio for podcasts and no time in the studio to produce…so here’s a nod to raw.

Me, my piano and a digital recorder in my Living Room. Sharing a new co-write “The Story We’re Sold”, a little “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Saga of Harrison Crabfeathers” noodling, and arrangement of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” I’m working on.

Some contemplative remarks on life. Pretty boring, really.

A little compression/limiter on the whole track before exporting to mp3, otherwise no effects - to me, a failed experiment in the simplicity of using a digital recorder to capture live piano/vocals audio, but now I know.

Kat says we need a new word for “failure” - I suggested “feedback”, and without comments from the world, I continue to be the arbiter of what sounds “good” to me.

This sounds ok - ha!

And ok works for me today…in The Living Room.
