Edmas 2020: Christmas In 7 Minutes (And 20 Seconds)

Posted on December 11, 2020 | Leave a comment

Another year, another Christmas EP! 2020 has been weird for sure, but we still somehow managed to get group vocals into this batch! Instead of bringing people over to me, I sent clips and detailed instructions, then waited for people to send me their tracks. Also, because we’re all spending a lot more time at home, I got the jump on this one early – all of the instruments were recorded before Halloween! This was another fun EP to make and I hope you enjoy it.

Edmas 2019: Christmas In 8 Minutes

Posted on December 4, 2019 | Leave a comment

santaball.pngWe’ve made it! Another year is in the books, so it’s time for yet another Christmas EP! This one was fun to make… and a bit of a workout, too. The theme this year wasn’t readily apparent when I just looked at the songs I picked, but it emerged as I was putting it together. Since two of the four songs don’t really have a whole lot going for them, the name of the game wound up being SPEED. In terms of tempos, this is quite possibly the fastest batch I’ve ever made. The click track was set at over 300 beats per minute for two of them… Enjoy!

Edmas 2018: Christmas In 7 Minutes (And 21 Seconds)

Posted on December 7, 2018 | 1 comment

santaball.png Happy December! It’s the time of year where I post new Christmas recordings for your listening… pleasure? Sure, we’ll go with that. For the third consecutive year, this batch has a theme. This time around, the theme centers around a single songwriter – every song I recorded this year was either written or co-written by Johnny Marks. I had to go a little obscure for a couple of these but two others will be well-known to you almost immediately. Also, I decided to go back and revisit the old friend that started me on this path. Most of the annual “traditions” are here, but I replaced the layered guitar solo with a nod to a seminal punk band with the first song. If you would like cover art, I’m using this picture for it. Enjoy!
