My first blog ever! I know, I know, but I am new to the social media onslaught and admittedly, a complete novice. Luckily, I’ve got a team of much more experienced facebook, twitter, and blog savvy professionals in my corner. Yaw, Christine, and my new CFO (Chief Facebook Officer) are dragging me kicking and screaming into the new age. The artist in me tries vigilantly to protect an internal dialogue and feeds on soul searching, reflection and quietly processing the world around me. The new business and branding imperative is precisely the opposite - exposing your innermost thoughts and ruminations for immediate public consumption. Forgive me if I stumble at the beginning.
But I digress… I am excited about my most recent recording project and am eager to share the process with you all. Some of my newest tracks are up on the site (www.adambradley.com), and I will update periodically, even with rough mixes and unfinished cuts. As an overture to the open source model and new way of life I welcome feedback at all stages. After all, the process is what counts right?
The three songs I’ve posted first are These Walls, Falling Out, and The Kiss. The first two are products of recent sessions with Alan Cohen, and this version of The Kiss is one I recorded years ago in Brooklyn at a coworker’s friend’s cousin’s brother’s fiance’s home studio. (or something like that) I kid you not, the sound proofing in the vocal booth was achieved by propping up two old mattresses in a teepee formation. (Which may have been this guy’s actual bed.)
More later….
