headstock repair, success! at least i think so. i still need to set up the strings and see if the glue is going to hold the break. otherwise, taylor guitars here i come! (granted i win the lottery)
some more writing and improvising were done today. i threw down a couple of guitar tracks and then went into reason to try to pull together a decent drum track. didn't turn out too bad. i'll have to mess around with reason more to get the hang of it. the sounds i was getting today were video game-ish and there was a hint of isis near the end of the track. i was also able to hook up the midi keyboard and play with the synth sounds garageband has preinstalled. its weird how certain kinds of influences come out despite what you've been listening to all day. i think tomorrow i'm going to try to do some off time signature riffing. math rock anyone? hopefully that will help break up the 4/4 monotony that i've been falling into.
a lot of my tones sound the same and i need to start experimenting with dynamics and timbre more. found out that garageband has a few filters on it and reason is full of them, so that will help out. also on reason are a bunch of drum samples. i was reading that thrice's last album, there was drum sequencing done. but they sampled their drummer playing and did some effects editting and programming from those samples. maybe i can try that out. oh, and it'd be cool too to try dave grohl's method of tracking drums. i'll have to read up more on that.
i took some pictures today of my guitar, amp, and pedalboard. i'll post those on flickr sometime this week. until then, cheers.
