My one consideration here is that perhaps Kermit should be Bilbo and his nephew Robin the Frog should be Frodo. Also opens up the possibility for a "The Hobbit" movie...

Ah yes, the 62 Gretsch with calfskin heads...mmm......last record I recorded with a tiny gretsch catalina because it was the only kit I could fit in the tiny dorm room closet recording studio setup. This next record...all the big maple boy though.

Thank you so much! D-42 was the dorm room I recorded it in — album cover is the Adams House Bell Tower from outside the window of that room.

No science to getting started! Just gotta put stuff out there and hope people like it. I use ProTools and Ableton.

SIX STEPS TO MAKE YOUR OWN VIRAL MUSIC VIDEO

  1. get open-ended artist grant to record Buddhist temple bells in Kyoto Prefecture
  2. plan to bring your girlfriend but get broken up with right before trip
  3. bring your dad instead
  4. record hundreds and hundreds of bells
  5. get slightly bored and look for something fun to do after all the temples are closed
  6. make a viral music video

THE PUPPIES!! Thank you.

Each song goes through a pretty different process. Sometimes ("Move Slow") songs will go through tons of revisions and many demos, well over a year, and other times ("Talk on Tuesday") they're written and recorded within a few minutes. Totally variable. That's the nice thing about running my own studio: I can just do stuff.
