The next CD

[ericcoleman]

I stalled on getting the next CD done a month or so ago. It's been a rough year.

I was obsessing too much about the sound and some idea of what I wanted the CD to be. More and more I realize that I need to relax and figger what I want this CD to really be.

I have very eclectic taste in music. I'm starting to think that this CD has to reflect that. The idea of the CD being totally acoustic is getting put aside. I've given this a lot of thought the last few weeks and seeing the synth player this evening made me realize I need to get this moving. I asked the synth player this evening about playing on the CD, I'm going to ask some other folks as well.

I'm going in to re-demo the songs next weekend. We'll see what happens.

I think an electric album is a damned fine idea. :}

There's something I learned from Robert Fripp a long time ago... you don't really make art. You are simply a conduit through which art manifests itself. So rather than deciding what the album should be, you need to let it tell you what it is. Your job is to be a pure enough vessel to contain it, and transparent enough to release it into the world, as uncolored by You as possible.

That makes no sense whatsoever, does it?

Just recently I said

I don't write these songs, I just set them loose.

So yeah, I understand completely
