Sneak Peak

I stopped over at Paul's studio tonight to hear the first full run of the six tracks from our album.  Chris finished laying down his banjo bits this afternoon and Paul had been stuck in editing the rest of the day. 

What can I say?  No one really likes listening to a recording of their own voice.  You catch every flaw.  But I also I heard love coming out of those speakers and was filled with gratitude to friends who made this happen in the most literal sense.  I was also completely overwhelmed.  Music making, but particularly singing, is a gut level instinctive thing for me.  One look at the striped layers of mixing Paul was working with and my head was in a spin. 

Graphic representations of music are really quite beautiful though.  Here's a glimpse of the magic. 

This is music. No, really.
