Album artwork ideas

Although my focus has been on the music, I have prepared a couple of album cover designs. The album title is still undecided but I've settled on Yellow Colony as the name for my band.

Hey folks!

I'm working on an EP. The songs are mainly guitar driven, alternative rock and all the instruments will be recorded, performed and mixed by myself.

Inspired by Jack Conte, I will try to make 'VideoSongs' to show how each part was performed and recorded. I hope to go a step further and even show a glimpse of the mixing process in the music video.

I'm going to reveal here all the methods used during the recording and mixing process so stay tuned as I will be posting updates every week.

Hi you!

I set up this blog to share my passion for experimenting with sounds to convey emotion and create a sonic masterpiece that can be vividly pictured in the imagination of the listener. Whether I am writing my own song or mixing somebody else's, my aim has always been to convey feeling in a way that has an impact upon the listener.

Your Home Recording is going to show how you can get started in producing your own music, at home and with a minimal budget. I will show you what you need and what you don't need, some tricks of the trade and some of the pitfalls that so many bedroom producers fall into.

My YouTube channel will have regular updates and tutorials and I plan to cover:
* How to improve the acoustics of your room
* What hardware to buy and how to set it up
* The best free software available
* Getting a great recorded guitar tone using any gear
* Mixing tricks of the pros

That's all for now but stay tuned for my next update!
