Entry 5
My recent excursions into jazz drumming and guitar playing have taught me a lot. I've always been a huge fan of jazz, and after a few years of playing drums in a big band setting my confidence in the instrument has been exponentially increasing. My use of the techniques I have picked up I hopelessness to not only influence my ways of playing, but to effect and enhance the nuances of my own songwriting and compositional structuring in a more loose way. I see already the visions of sound and recording of tracks like Scruff, I Like When Wind Blows, Outro/Intro, and Last song when recording Empty House. It opens me up to a new area of my own writing abilities and time will tell if I use these new techniques to my advantage or if it might be part of an accumulation of self-doubt, and internal fear of perfection. Until next time...
