Greetings. Well most of the tracks for Chasing Daylight, the forthcoming album of mine, are done in their basic form. Now it is about finding soloists for those tracks. As expected, I'll be using some of the finest Kansas City talent available. This last week I dropped a copy of the raw tracks to Caleb Aldrich, a very talented sax player who currently performs with the Brian Ruskin Quartet and the Night Owls.
August and September are the recording trials for the remaining solos. An interesting note is that the final track for the album is a composition titled "Us". Conceptually, this track will be built around a simple progressive, but will featured an amazing myriad of artists and friends. I will use additive and subtractive techniques to build tension. The cool thing is that it will include individual tracks of "1st time ever's". For example, this may have Heather Thornton playing guitar. Not exactly an instrument she plays, but musicians can always come up with something.
