Song: Reason is Gone 2
The Songs we created for this Album were done from a distance, online ,I told my Brother Greg to go ahead and do the song as he normally would with singing , beats bass keyboards....just let it flow normally,...then I had a connection to be able take his final ( wav file ) and I would match up the tempo, and lay down his file in a GarageBand project. Then I just did the same , adding what I felt sounded right as extra tracks over what he originally did. It amazes me now listening back because my brother and I grew up recording together many late nights and creating and developing our musical talents...and these songs came out just as if we had sat together and recorded them, mainly because our chemistry is something that somehow lives forever inside both of us.

Song: Yesterday On Top
My Brother Greg Maxwell first wrote and recorded the bass ,vocals drums and ambient ghostly whispers in the background.....then mailed me thee file , whereupon I proceeded to add numerous backward recorded symphonic sounds and other tweaked percussion tracks ending with two guitar tracks and a few extra background vocals .

Song: Playin with Fire
Made with a cocktail of software....Korg Gadget-GarageBand-SynthMaster
I added this to our album , because my daughter is also a Maxwell...and this song we did was so much like the way my brother and I recorded....just out of the blue. I made the music on an app. Called Grovebox real fast Since she had agreed to sing ...then I set the I pad for vocal effects and just gave it to her with headphones and she just improvised the whole way through,..I then later came back and edited some of her singing parts in order to repeat in the chorus,. She sounded so good, I know the words were a little muffled but that was her first song ever , and with being Autistic ,both her and her sister have displayed awesome musical talent...but I make a point not to force them in any direction as I want them to find their own passion , since I was never forced into loving what I do.
