So, I know I said I was going to be offline after the last post, but as I was getting everything ready to be dropped back off, I was thinking about the hard rock stuff, and something occurred to me... I'll start with what we have so far, and then delve into the issues that may present. As is the case lately, I'm starting with a list, and going from there.
- There are 3 completed demos that I feel really strongly about.
- We have 2 other pieces of music essentially completed. One of those is something I was tinkering with last week, but it's basically done.
- There are 2 other progressions that I've been working with that, hopefully, will turn into full songs.
This brings us up to a total of 7. Then,
- There are 3 other songs that are finished, but weren't necessarily deemed strong enough to make the record the last time B. and I were serious about the project.
If those were included, that would make 10, which would be enough for a full album... even though I'd rather be in the 11-12 range. But hey, more songs can always be written, right? If the project stays in the EP range as opposed to the full album, the one problem I see is this: the record, as it sits right now, is missing the so called "big, radio-friendly ballad" that would so nicely offset the rock of the rest of the disc. As someone who grew up making mixtapes, the idea of sequencing and flow is important to me.
There is, mind you, a song that's already completed that MIGHT work in that ballad spot, but it's a song that was a leftover from the project B. had been working on before she and I started writing together, and technically, it isn't ours to use. It did always fit the style we were going for though. Oh well, I/we will just have to see what happens in terms of writing new stuff.
