Post number four on this blog! Almost a year after the three initial posts. So the Wiser Creatures Recording Blog was supposed to deal with all musical ventures and not JUST the new CD, but I pretty much abandoned it and put all my eggs in the Facebook, YouTube and personal blog basket instead. The planning and prep session which was the first post of this blog was well and good, but it was almost a year ago. I thought I was going to start recording then, but life got in the way.
It's a brand new day. No more "I'm GOING to do this." I did it. It's here. We have officially BEGUN recording. I'm recording at my good friend Matt Marcoccia's home studio. We recorded the title track, "Wiser Creatures" followed by the track you hear in this video "Stand Up." Not bad for a day's work.
NOW it's official folks. NOW you can finally sit back, relax, and enjoy...
The Wiser Creatures Recording Blog: Session 1
We're probably not going to be recording as frequently as we did with the EP, but I'll keep you posted and make sure to update as soon as Session 2 comes along.
Adios folks,
Joe
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.
Great to see it finally happening! I'm working away on the music video, every chance I get. The making of for that would probably be a lot less entertaining.
