Thunderstorm, long day requiring plugging in in #boulder, so I turned my 2012 Leaf into my music studio again. . p.s. Thanks @chargepoint for the energy! . #ukuleleeveryday #ukelife #ukulele #KamoaUkes #ColoradoMusicians #songwriting #FiftyNinety (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmejCRZnwQi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=30q6xvk7mr15
Put some practice into one of my #fiftyninety tunes this morning. This is "Pretzel", a silly title for a serious song. . . #ukulele #kamoaukulele #songwriting #5090 #DontCallItReggae (at Broomfield, Colorado)
2024 NaSoAlMo Day 10/30
One third of the way through November. How are we looking?
Well, on day 10 I put rhythm guitars onto two songs. I did not run direct, I played through my amplifier’s speaker and it was glorious.
Over all we now have seven songs, all in 7/8 time for a total runtime of about 30 minutes. I think I am done with adding songs, unless I decide to add four songs in 4/4 time… naw. Up next is writing lyrics and melodies. My least favorite part of these song writing challenge games. Oh well.
2024 NaSoAlMo Day 3/30
I added another song yesterday. MIDI bass and drums are done. That’s all I had in me yesterday. I don’t expect much different today. I had a covid shot two days ago and it kicked my ass yesterday. I still feel less than wonderful today.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 90/90
This year’s challenge is now officially over. 90 days in the books. Thanks for coming along on my journey through silliness.
The next internet based musical songwriting/recording challenge kicks off on November 1st. National Solo Album Month. I’m not sure if I am going to play along this year. 50/90 took a lot out of me. We’ll see.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 89/90
This year’s 50 songs in 90 days challenge equates to more like 57 songs in 89 days. I am done. I mixed the last four songs. I didn’t mix them well (just quick and dirty) but they are done and now so am I. I hit all of my goofy little goals.
50 songs
10 songs started and finished within each calendar month
More songs than any of my previous 50/90 successes (my record was 52)
And there we have it, folks. My forth successful summer challenge. I guess the next step is to pick around 10 songs that aren’t as awful as the rest and edit, rewrite, and rerecord them into a sort of album-ish project. Maybe that will be my task for day 90. We’ll see.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 88/90
I think I am going to miss these first thing in the morning posts once this year’s challenge is all over. I always try to do this but I’ve never managed to do it for the full 90 days. Another challenge completed? Sort of.
Yesterday, day 88, I put vocals on four songs. Then I put both rhythm and lead guitars onto two songs. Finally I mixed three songs. All that’s left now is to mix the last four. I technically have two days to do it but I sort of see this little project as needing to be over before the calendar strikes October. We’ll see if I can wrap it up tonight (day 89). Today is a work-in-the-office day so I lost a lot of time to my commute.
