Hello everyone. Welcome to the chronicle of my next unfinished project. The Summer 2010 Acoustic Song Project. I've written tons of songs that only a handful of friends have heard so while I'm working on my new album I thought this would be a fun way to break things up. So here's the idea: I play my songs acoustically (obviously - though I may vary from that from time to time) and I use a single camera to capture the performance (it is the youtube era after all). I'm allowing myself to overdub instruments and vocals as needed as long as those performances are also filmed with the one camera. I can then edit that so everyone can see what's being played.
So that all sounded like a fun idea but then I thought (yes contrary to popular belief I do think from time to time)... wouldn't it be cool to have some friends play live on the tracks with me. Obvious I know. I didn't say my thoughts were always deep. Then I thought - wouldn't it be cool to record these performances at various places around town... Live with friends.
So that's the goal.
I did a few test clips the other day to make sure I could sync the audio from the digital recorder to the video camera and it worked great. 
Now I'm making lists of songs, locations and musicians I want to work with.
Beware: You might be on the list!
Stay tuned.
