Artist Lounge: Oh Travioso
Subscribe to feed
So I've been working on some of the things that I tracked back in June with Jason. I gave you a very rough version of Badman in my last post a while back. Here's another version with finished lyrics and some better mixing and more parts.
So I have only the month of August to finish everything. Then I leave my beautiful dilapidated old coffin factory of a building behind and go back to school. I tracked some acoustic guitar for several of my songs so far. I'm going to upload a song for you guys, but, keep in mind, I'm making up all the words, the vocals are temporary, and everything is very rough in general. Just imagine how good it will sound when I'm done. This is Bad Man. Drums by Jason McGerr. ... MORE
So I know some of you are Rhapsody users. I am, so you must be. You can finally stream my record off the Rhapsody music server. And, for every song you stream, I get a penny! That's right, a whole penny! So don't be shy, go ahead and stream that song twice. Or go ahead and leave it on all day on repeat while you're at work on the shortest track. Either way.
Oh Travioso - Duct Tape for Broken Hearts EP - available on Rhapsody as well as the iTunes Music Store.
I was hoping to go over to the studio today, but it is so ungodly cold outside, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I think I'm going to make some tea, take a hot shower, and get into bed. If you're in Los Angeles, my friends the Cheat are playing an all ages show at the Echo, tomorrow, Tuesday, night. And on a personal note, I find I'm very difficult to love. But when they do love me, I have not been reciprocating those emotions. All I want is a girl that loves ... MORE
Ok. I need to start picking songs for this record I plan on making. I only want the best stuff. I'd rather have it be a six song ep with six fantastic tunes, than a full length with some mediocre material. I have a whole bunch of ideas as well as completed songs uploaded onto on my web server. Please listen to as much as you can and tell me what you like. Again, a lot of this is just song ideas that need to be fleshed out into full songs, but some of them are nearl... MORE
I just finished submitting my application to the Stanford MA/MST program at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). If all goes well, I will be attending Stanford in the fall of 2007. I'm quite excited. I was never really interested in going back to school, but then I just googled graduate programs in music synthesis and found a really great program at Stanford. The master's program is only a year long. So, I can get in, maybe apply for the Ph... MORE
I was so elated, and then knocked down all in the same moment. So Jeff Price, Mr. TuneCore, the man himself, if you're listening, please help. I mentioned that I had uploaded my four song ep, Duct Tape For Broken Hearts, to TuneCore, a service that places your music into online retailer's stores. So, I've been checking iTunes everyday, hoping that Oh Travioso is going to yield a result. And then, I tried Rhapsody. I have a Rhapsody account. It's great, when I have ac... MORE
Who wants to give me and themselves a Christmas present at the same time? Yes, I'm a jew, but Hanukah is over. My Duct Tape for Broken Hearts EP is in the iTunes store, and everything is fully functional. (There was a problem with one of the tracks before, but I just purchased it and it works perfectly). So, it's only four tracks. But it's the start of me releasing more and more records. Take a listen. Enjoy. $3.96 of pure family fun. Best enjoyed on repeat. Pu... MORE
I know I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm going to give you a link to the recording studio myspace page. I know, I know. Not so good. But there's pictures and free downloads. And I know you guys love free music.
