Rage and Chill: January 2013
http://rageandchill.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Greg McLeod's Recording and Production blog. Stream my last album here! Thursday, January 3, 2013. Nancy, que pasa? Welcome to 2013. This year, I will leave my room. I will play shows. I will meet new and wonderful people. I will win at least two contests. I will write 50 songs, and complete mastered recordings of 36 of them. These are my goals. This album addresses fears I have that I can be childish and shallow in personal relationships. It's about not being emotionally mature enough to truly love&...

Rage and Chill: February 2013
http://rageandchill.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Greg McLeod's Recording and Production blog. Stream my last album here! Wednesday, February 20, 2013. A Cookie in the Ear. I hadn't had any cymbals at all on the last album because I didn't have any I thought were worth recording but this time around I wanted a nice ride cymbal, something complex, dark and washy. I rented a Sabian Artisan Vault 22" ride, and heavily overused it on the drum parts, with almost no hi-hat. I built a little bass house for my microphones, the NT1a and a CAD KBM412 that I had l...

Rage and Chill: Gigs Boiled Down
http://rageandchill.blogspot.com/2015/01/gigs-boiled-down.html
Greg McLeod's Recording and Production blog. Stream my last album here! Sunday, January 4, 2015. We did a read-through of the show during which the vocal director and I demoed the songs for the cast. I'd forgotten that all the keys had been changed, so I had to mentally transpose all of the guitar as I played it, which made for a slightly harrowing beginning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rage and Chill: Metal and the Law
http://rageandchill.blogspot.com/2015/01/metal-and-law.html
Greg McLeod's Recording and Production blog. Stream my last album here! Monday, January 12, 2015. Metal and the Law. A five step process turned into nine steps as I found that I had to break the screens into sections to get them to print reliably. I was able to touch up most mistakes with a tiny paintbrush, but 8 of the jackets were irretrievably ruined. That still left me a hundred good ones, though, and that's all I needed.

Rage and Chill: Here's an ESSAY
http://rageandchill.blogspot.com/2015/01/heres-essay.html
Greg McLeod's Recording and Production blog. Stream my last album here! Sunday, January 11, 2015. So I guess what I've said here is that I think that making MB-LP was a valuable, fascinating experience, and that through it I've become more aware of ways I can write with greater success in the future. And sometime in the future, when I'm feeling self indulgent, I can grab some earbuds and remember what I thought sounded good back then. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Rage and Chill: Opposite of an Apple
http://rageandchill.blogspot.com/2015/01/opposite-of-apple.html
Greg McLeod's Recording and Production blog. Stream my last album here! Saturday, January 3, 2015. Opposite of an Apple. Tabia sent me an approximate synopsis of the story and character sketches, and then paragraph-length briefs explaining what each song had to accomplish. They also had the song titles already, and some specific lyrical suggestions – all kinds of things, from suggested rhymes to possible ways to attack the song subjects.

Rage and Chill: November 2013
http://rageandchill.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Greg McLeod's Recording and Production blog. Stream my last album here! Monday, November 18, 2013. Big Fan of Anyone. I never used to listen to lyrics. I could hear an album a dozen times, so that I knew every instrument's part by heart, but the best I could do was hum the vocal line. It was like a foreign language to me: when music was on, I spoke in notes. And see what the heck I was thinking about when I wrote the lyrics. His eyes shift over from the window to the chair. He says "Sis, it's all right,.
