Have just finished basic demos on about 20 songs, pared down from over 40+ ideas. Have mainly focused on music first, with lyrics and melodies to follow. Coming up: working with the boys in the band to arrange the newest before recording commences approximately in April.

March 15, 2019[edit | edit source]

Listened back to 21 demos today and cut two, so down to 19. Magic number is 15 (or less) before we start recording (in approx. 3 weeks). Oh, forgot... Wrote another song today so the number is back up to 20 (assuming the demo session goes well tomorrow). Then will start work on recutting 5 songs that need more work.

One week in cutting new demos with JC, progess is strong. Master list currently stands at 23/24 songs, as I've written some new ideas and found 3 unused "Day for Night" songs that fit in this new work in approach and tone, which is strange because it's almost like I was trying to write this album years ago, but abandoned it obviously because it wasn't quite time. So we'll see how the DFN songs stack up agains the newest.

March 22, 2019[edit | edit source]

Now have 13 songs slated to record, with 7 others still being worked on (or, 20 total) with plans to cut down to 15 by recording, which starts with drum tracking in 1/2 weeks.
