A new mix of our progressive rock tune "From the Heart" is in the works. I re-recorded the bass part over the holidays 2012 because I had gotten a fretless bass with the fretless tones I was after. A few things need to be finished on the mix. Hopefully we'll be able to put a finished mix up this spring.

I finally finished the blues tune "Grace n Peace Blues" that I started in August 2012. I had all the parts done except guitar. The changes in the song are challenging, and it was hard getting any time to rehearse the part, but I practiced it as much as possible, then had a recording session in early April 2013 and recorded the guitar. I recorded it with a guitar I got in February 2013, so I didn't even own it in August. I think it was worth waiting because the tone is gorgeous. Listen to "Grace n Peace Blues" on my RWsBluez page.

I take classes during the school year. So summer is when I get most done musically. In June, I finished up mixing a prog rock tune I wrote years ago called "As in Art". There is an old pre-production version of it on Eden Concept's soundcloud page. The new version is up on our soundclick page. The rest of the summer was taken up mixing a longer prog rock piece, "House With Two Books". It's up on our soundclick page. I had hoped to record a few ambient pieces, and perhaps some blues, but it's looking like I'll have to squeeze that in between doing homework this fall. I do have drums, bass and organ recorded for two blues tunes, one I wrote, and the other written by our own windjammerchick, which I will be contributing guitar tracks to. Both blues tunes will feature windjammerchick, aka Elaine on vocals. Kevin Brown also contributed organ tracks on the new blues tunes. Here's hoping weekends in fall leave time to work on those songs.

A finished (for now) mix of "Wavelengths" is up on the Eden Concept page. give it a listen. The preproduction version is there too. If you check out both, you'll hear the new one has improved audio quality, improved guitar tones, improved drums (live drums by Jim Kube), and improved vocals, including backup harmonies by Elaine Ernst, Amy and John Roberts, and Phil Neubauer. I also uploaded an alternate version of the song, with a third guitarist trading licks in the jam section at the end. "Without Limits" has been rerecorded, also with live drums by Jim, with more melodies, harmonies, and MORE GUITARS!

I uploaded a new version of "Got My Ol' Guitar". I tweaked the EQ on the rhythm guitar, removing some low end, and in doing so got the bass guitar to be better defined, and the low end of the song to be less mushy. I'm no recording engineer, just a rock n roll guitar player, but these mixing skills I'm picking up as I go are coming in handy!
