well, i would tell you all about how i am a one-[wo]man band hailing from the wild metropolis of Youngsville, NC, however: 1. "one-[wo]man band" just might be the most corny thing i could imagine typing (i'm sick of hearing it, really. lets come up with a new cheesy slang for what i do!) 2. Youngsville is to redneck mecca what harlem is to thugville. No one here even knows what a metropolis is... 3. Finally, neither of these poor discriptions do more than make incoherant lines on a blueprint... an AUDitory blueprint, at that. another simile bites the dust. ok here are the basics: i write it, i play it, i sing it, i record it. then, i change it entirely, and re-do the process, but keep at least one element from the first draft. i continue doing this until im either sick of the song or satisfied. i typically have 3-4 versions of songs before i move on. then, apparently the next step is to make a collection of these songs and burn them onto cds, and then upload them on to sites such as this. the end. =)
