I have new version of the song Making Miles<\/a>. You may recall that last summer I recorded it with just piano and vocals, but after listening back for a while I decided it needed something more. The new mix retains the heartfelt simplicity of the first one but evolves into a something much more powerful. I redid the lead vocals, added some harmonies, drums, bass guitar and synth pads. I expanded the song with a solo section and reprise of the chorus, making it closer to Martin\u2019s original arrangement. For the solo I used the Yamaha woodwind synthesizer. That thing has such great sounds and is a lot of fun. The solo started off as an improvisation, but with each take I converged a little more on what became the only solo it could be.<\/p>\n

Now eight songs completed in terms of arranging and tracking. The last one, Green Glove, just requires a few punch-ins on the horn section and it\u2019ll be good to go too. I\u2019ve gotten back into doing mixdowns at my friend Erik\u2019s studio this week too. We had to take a few weeks off while he built out a new mixing room to take on a new client. But now we\u2019re back at it and have four songs polished off. I will post these mixes soon too. Soon it will be time to start thinking about finishing the album: the track order, cover art and that sort of thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
