Sorry it’s been so long! I uploaded the demo that I recorded for my friend Mike’s band. We recorded them in the Spring. They turned out pretty nice.

We recorded the drums in a studio and then recorded the rest at Mike’s house. Lots of pretty guitar riffs and the music is quite relaxing! I hope you enjoy!

This summer has been going really well. School hasn’t been too bad, and I’m getting way ahead for this fall. My plans are getting really exciting. As of this fall, I will be about a year ahead as far as physics goes. I’m going to be in some fun math classes, as well, and I have been talking to a professor in the physics department about research.

I’m still waiting/hoping to hear back about the Dean of Science scholarship. It’s $2500 a year, so that’d be really nice! That would be $2000 a semester in scholarships I have so far which is a little over half of my tuition. Keep your fingers crossed!

Other exciting news… I’ll have been with Olivia for a year and a half on Saturday! Yay!

I hope everyone is having a great summer.

Today is my last Friday of High School Summer. 

Today is going to be amazing. I’m going to a band practice with Mike. He should be here soon. Keep it Real is going to practice and then we’re going to have a Kiwi Rossdale practice I guess. They told me the music has changed, but all for the good.

Later tonight I’m going to Mike’s show up on the north side of Indy. I’m going to jump off of things. I haven’t done that in a while. I can’t wait.

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!
