Recording

There is something strangely fascinating about playing music into a computer microphone and playing it back a few seconds later. It sounds completely different for one thing, and it also really solidifies the song.

I've been writing music for most of the summer. About a week after writing a song, I tend to either forget it or look over it again, and hate it. This morning, I got the nerve up to do a rough recording of some of the songs I've written. Magically, I like most of them again. 

At the end of the summer, I will be recording my first set of songs semi-professionally. I hope to find some convenient means of sharing these songs with my friends. CDs are somewhat obsolete these days and iTunes would charge money. Maybe I can just e-mail the songs...

I'm discovering that this blogging business is quite intriguing. I'm not sure who, if anyone, is reading this. It's just nice to write with the hope that somebody, somewhere cares about what is running through my mind. It will definitely take some getting used to, I guess. Thank you, phantom blog reader(s).
