In the morning we were jamming and figuring out some progressions. Reed and I worked on some electronic music, while drake and Dylan were at sports. After that we worked on compiling a list of electronics we need to properly record at the quality we want this album to have. We then went out to dinner with Dylan's dad, to discuss our album and what we need. We then went back to drakes and worked out a bassline and drums to a riff we had. After that we worked on writing vocals. We then jammed a little more to more solidify the song we plan to start recording on thursday when our equipment arrives.

    Hey Guys,
    I'm reading a lot about coming up with new progressions and kool song ideas. I'm hoping to see some kind of notation or lyrics or charts of some kind that might represent these ideas. Also was to see your overall 3 week plan and where you all believe you're at along this path.
    My plan is to visit you all tomorrow in your new studio!
    Looking forward to it!
    Bill

This week started out by getting reed and Dylan moved out of campus and into drakes house with all of their necessities.

And started jamming as a band with Dylan on drums reed producing and drake and i on guitar. After a little while of that we discovered that we were going to need more equipment, so Dylans Parents generously bought us a brand new mixing board, interfaces, and multiple different kinds of microphones for recording amps, vocals, and drums. We had two of our close friends who don't go to proctor hop on board to help us record this album. The first being Joe derby, an outstanding guitarist, And the second being my friend Abe Belcourt who is our bass player. We jammed a lot with this new equipment and star

Weekly reflection #2 Sat= 2.5 hours Sun=2.5 hours (60 hours total) This week we focused on writing our music. Our goal is to have a final recording of at least eight songs on the album. Some of the songs we have worked on so far are “Dark Woods,” “Paradox,” “Fractals,” “Let Go,” and “Candles, Sex, and Cigarettes.” We also have some untitled pieces. Exactly which songs will go on the album, and how many there will be total is still undecided. A lot of our material comes from improvisation, so it was challenging to write at times. Our songs each have a unique sound, with different influences. Many genres and styles have contributed to this album. Each of us has an independent technique, so balancing all that together has been really interesting. Overall, I think our band has a very special and fresh sound. The process of writing, practicing, recording, and editing music has been so satisfying. Writing lyrics really allows me to reflect on myself. When I write lyrics, they largel
