compulsive compartmentalization

Tomorrow I start recording my bluegrassy/celtic acoustic album. I’ll be producing it with the help of a good friend of mine who’s got a nice little recording studio attached to his house. I’d like to get done with it in a year, but since there’s going to be a lot of arranging and good hard thinking while we’re in the process in regards to the sound, it may take longer. I also want to do as much of the the performance as I can, but want the input of other musicians at the same time. We’ll see. Over the course of the last few years I have come to the realization that my strength lies in collaboration. At least in terms of music and storytelling. I enjoy the process of having input into the creation and mold of a finished project, but also being surprised by the unexpected twists and turns that someone else puts on it that I wouldn’t have thought of if I had 175 uninterrupted years.

So here’s to jumping in over your head!

Or my head, as is the case here.
