Returning to Blogger

Well, it certainly has been a while since I used this blogger page. I figured since there is so much happening this year in the 25:17 camp, that I would come back here and blog about the happenings.

2010 was a very unproductive year, and I regret that fully. Inspiration was at a low and I just felt really lazy when it came to music. So I just stayed quiet and let it pass. Fortunately enough, towards the end of 2010 I started wanting to get back into the swing of things. So of course I started working on "Entity, Leaving" in November and had it out by December. After that release, I realized how much discipline I really needed. So I came up with the idea for "Project 52". One song a week for 52 weeks was/is a sure thing to get me back on track and keep me super busy. So a lot of this blog from here on in is pretty much revolving around that.

It's already February, and it's the beginning of week 6 for Project 52. It pains me to say it already, but I've already slightly half failed this project. 2 songs not entirely done yet, but I have every intention to finish them and have 52 songs by years end. I know a lot of people will tell me that yes I did fail this, but I believe if the songs come out before the first EP, then I have at least only half failed. I'm still working my ass off to get these songs off the ground. Lately I find myself busy with small jobs and a new internship program I may be starting come March, so it has definitely slowed down work, but hasn't stopped it.

Currently starting Song 5 and 6 together, have 2 separate ideas for them, so it should turn out fine. I'm thinking that Brad Cheeseman (who collaborated with me for Entity Leaving) is probably going to be joining me for one of them. He's an on and off helping hand, since he's always looking to keep himself busy, so he's offered to collaborate when he has a chance to. Song 2 is still kind of in the works... all my parts are done, but I'm still waiting on Shane Lannigan (of That Boy Ain't Right) to get back to me with his bass track(s) for that song. He's currently in the studio with TBAR working on their own EP, so he's fairly busy. So song 2 is on hold until at least the dead line for EP 1. (which it will be before March 1st). But 1, 3, and 4 are sitting comfortably in my completed pile, so those are good and ready to go. I'm think songs 5 and 6 will be ready around the same time, just in time for the second round of previews.

I'm actually taking a small break right now from Song 5 to write this blog, so i guess it's back to work. check back here often for updates!
