Since my hard drive crashed I’ve been much more aware of preserving and saving and backing up the music that I’ve made. Sounds obvious but it’s easy to let it sit on a CD in the back of a book of CDs that you haven’t opened in five years.
So there’s this album, I made long ago, my third release as a solo musician, back in Santa Cruz, called “Still Dream”. I recorded it onto my four track, and then I had it mastered with a friend who was in the recording program. Funny thing happened though… when we were playing the four track back through the nice machines, the pitch was bumped accidentally up just a little tiny touch. And so everything I put into that album for my ears was ALL WRONG. Voice sounded squeaky and it just… wasn’t me. So now through the miracle of computery geekiness, I am taking that CD and slowing it back down to my real voice’s actual pitch. So its cool, it will be the album I have never got to hear. I’ll put some stuff up here soon!
