Music Monday – 11:11 @ Common Grounds

If you didn’t hear, 11:11 was featured on blocSonic‘s 23rd Compilation, titled “netBloc 23: We Invented the Compilation“. Check it out and keep watching blocSonic for more great independent music.  Here’s my live version from the Common Grounds show in Lexington.

Working on 11:11

Tuesday night Mike, Paul, and I got together and continued working on an acoustic version of 11:11.  Mike and I started it last week, so Paul came in to add some really cool Tremolo Rhodes to it.  Unfortunately, there were major-league driver issues with the keyboard, so it took a while to get to the point where we actually tracked something.

Mike and Paul also laid down the background vocals, which sound amazing!  The funny part: we worked up the parts based on what I thought I had been singing since I wrote the song.  Yet every time we listened to the playback, there was just something not quite right about it.  Ends up, I was singing something different than what I told them I was singing, so I had to go back in and retrack my lead vocal to match what they were doing!

So, I’ll post that here as soon as we get it finished.  I’m hoping we can get the full band in to start tracking other songs and begin putting together an album soon.
