Why hello there! Back so soon you ask? Why yes, because my editing schedule in relation to my posting schedule is pretty all over the place. The fact is, we got at it again with the re-recording of "She," and just like last time, I had trouble getting the right energy to perform it. But in a clear example of why persistence always pays off, we had a pretty dynamite amalgamation of takes number eleven and twelve after a tiring but rewarding repetition of that song. From there, it was figuring out what the last tune that was gonna end up on this CD would be. After playing an old favourite for Matt's, it seemed as if there was no question in his mind that "Energy" had to make a return as the third and final crossover track from 2008's EP. So in this session there's a romantic tune, a sexy tune, and even a little story about the girl who inspired the romantic tune. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the loveiest session yet of the Wiser Creatures Recording Vlog!
Peace and love friends!

P.S.
"Energy" may need a touch up, but aside from that there is only ONE SONG LEFT TO RECORD! This baby's ALMOST DONE...baby...
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.
