You're probably wondering what I've been doing this week. Not playing gigs! It's been an incredible year of work, and this just happens to be a slow week.
Last night I did some recording for a guy...he sent me the charts and an mp3 and I recorded flute and clarinet parts for him. I like doing it this way--recording at home. I think that's the way a lot of projects will come about in the future, especially with guys who are organized enough to have music written out for you. I always like that! It's much easier than having someone sing something to you and then say, "harmonize it!" Better yet is the "just play what you feel." I could definitely be doing that from home!
It was easy, too. I just dragged the mp3 into Logic, made a track, plugged in my microphone, and away I went. Technology is awesome.
My other major accomplishment was in fixing the ice machine in our refrigerator. That'd be GE part WR17X11705 (the ice auger). Cost me $25 and a half hour. If the gigs dry up, that's what I'll be doing full time.
