Welcome to the new and improved recording blog! Our back-catalog still sits (for now) over at thewindowep.blogspot.com, but all future happenings for the next CD and any new demos, videos or other goodies, will all be right here, on the "Wiser Creatures" Recording Blog.
Now that that's out of the way: check out Session 0 of the "Wiser Creatures" recording blog in video format, picking up from where we left off with "the window ep."
Adios amigos!

About this blog
This is a blog to outline the recording of Joe Chammas' first full-length album Wiser Creatures, as well as other musical happenings. It will also occasionallly include demos, samples, videos, and random bits of nonsense straight from the camel's mouth (yes, I just referred to myself as a camel.)
About Me
- Joe Chammas
- My musical journey didn’t begin how most people think it did. In middle school I listened mostly to hip-hop. I began writing and performing rap until well into high school. I experimented with guitar but I was never good at it, so I gave up on it quickly. Once I graduated, I gave it another shot. The lyrics I was writing were taking a folksier, poppier turn. After high school I bought a bright pink Yamaha electric guitar. I wanted to play lead and master the art of “face-melting guitar solos.” That wore off quickly and I focused my energy on songwriting instead (and picked up my first and only acoustic guitar). I honed my craft in basements and backyards, open mic nights, and eventually a string of full sets at local lounges/coffee shops. In 2007, I started recording my first EP of original music called the window ep and it was released on July 18th, 2008. Since then I’ve been doing nothing but writing and performing. I finally began recording my first full album in late 2011 and I hope to have it finished by the summer of 2012. I would love to perform and record as a full-time job, but at the end of the day, I play music because it’s just plain good for my health.
