Today Jared Craft came over to record with me. I’m seriously thinking about starting a funk band and/or project with him and Clay Sappington. Clay couldn’t make it today, but that would have been awesome!

I’ve known who Jared was since I was a freshman, but I never became friends with him until this school year. He came over once in May to record a song that he already had… he just had to put vocals to it. I did what I could with it. I love working with Jared when it comes to music. We’re going to make a 12 track funk/rock/comedy CD and it will probably be ready to sell by the beginning of the school year.

It started with just a guitar riff that he had and it sounded really funky. We’ve jammed this song before, but never recorded it. Then, I got the idea for all the instruments to cut out and just have distorted bass with the bass drum keeping the beat which sounds hilarious/awesome. After we had all the instruments¬†recorded, we dressed up¬†the song with vocals. Jared has a pretty high voice with great vibratos. It sounds really funny, but really cool at the same time.¬†

We’re great when we work together because we always consider eachothers ideas and try everything out and it always turns out really nice. Hopefully, we can get Clay over next week to record some vocals.

Today, I printed a few CD covers and I’ll be selling them at the beginning of the school year. 13 songs. 25 minutes of music. 7 dollars. I thanked a bunch of people in the cover and if you’re reading this you are probably mentioned. Tell me if you want one!
