Parts 1 through 6 of "Making the New Album 2009" as one video

Studio Vlog #6 - Guitar Day (2 of 2) and the final day of basic tracking at Red Caiman Media. This concludes the basic tracking segment of our "Making the New Album" web mini-series! Stay tuned in the coming weeks and months for videos of the overdub and mixing phases of the record. Thank you so much for watching!

Studio Vlog #5 - Guitar Day (1 of 2). 'Nuff said.

Studio Vlog #4 - short clips for Day 4 (because we were working harder on the important stuff, i.e. the music), but here's a teaser of a song that has continued to grow throughout the week. The more Rhodes, the better.

Studio Vlog #3 - discussions in the control room about the new direction of my music, plus "Groove Daddy" Rick Witkowski and me working out a new song through spontaneous combustion.

Studio Vlog #2 - today, after producer Rick Witkowski got creative with drum miking and unearthed some awe-inspiring sounds, things started to progress pretty quickly. Check out this video of Day 2 for some clips of me laying down drum tracks and more control room antics.

Studio Vlog #1 - clips of the first day in the studio to start tracking my forthcoming fourth studio album. More vlogs to follow each day, so stay tuned.
