Help needed.. Got asked to make an album!

[Patrick]

I think if I made an album in less than a week, it would all be filler. There would be a heavy emphasis on scat singing, lengthy solos on the triangle, and lots of cowbell!

Great work Andrew - how many tracks did you write?

Well done!

Chris,

I had 2 tracks that were almost complete (minor tweaks needed... totaled less than a half hour for each I believe), and created 7 original for the listing as well. I just recently posted on of the originals on my soundcloud if you wanna hear.

I will say that by the time I got it all done, I needed a day to recoup and not do anything creative for a bit with my normal music time. I took that time to dig in to lots of taxi tv and some other youtube stuff for a bit. Needed a bit of a reset!

Hi Andrew!
Congratulations. May I ask how many tracks there are on the album (i.e. what they typically ask for)? All the best.
Cheers,

Hey Matt!

Thanks!

They gave me the guidelines of 5-10 tracks. I wanted to get them as much quality stuff as I could, so I shot for 9 total tracks (2 were already close to completion when I got asked) and a one week time frame. I was just barely able to pull it off. Lots of lessons learned on many levels.

Hi Andrew!
Thanks for letting me know. I can imagine it was a great exercise on so many levels! I am sure you will look back at it as a defining moment.
All the best.

Lovely track Andrew - real tight - nice guitar.

Congratulations - it's well deserved.
