ishcabittle - Sketch sixtyone
sketch sixtyone: guitar chording, this tune has been rattling around my head for a very long time. Playing it to the 2880 begat the ending which had always eluded me in the past.
ishcabittle - Sketch sixty
sketch sixty: i’m tired of this namby, pamby, sleep, dreamy, whatever. i wanna dance!
bugs!
back in the saddle.
what do you get when you put two old friends in one old friend’s basement and add power?
moving my life, career, and family back to atlanta afforded me a chance to get back in touch with my friend wade page, drummer for many fantastic atlanta bands like ocelot, untied states, and centre (to name a few). wade has two drum sets, a base amp, a piano, a hammond m3 organ, and a swanky seventies vibe in his basement, and we’ve practiced my songs enough to know that we like the sound we make.
i started playing in bands with wade when i was twenty, fifteen years ago. playing with him again has warmed by heart very well.
today marks the release of my first recording, ep1.
you can pick it up for the low, low price of $4. doing so and you help fund the production of an LP, for which i am writing songs now.

principal recording complete
mr. bill brown has done an excellent job, and for that i am greatful. with drums complete, we are now on to mixes.
drums
over the weekend, bill and i solidified our ideas and energy levels for each song and got him ready to record drum tracks. it’s amazing how live drums adds an exponential amount of drama and interest to my songs, and i’m especially grateful for bill and his work on this first recording.
there’s only so far a drum machine can take you - i’m thinking of adding more devices to the midi chain to spice it up. we’ll see
ep1 - currently recording
my debut ep, ep1, is currently in the recording process. it will be four tracks, based on demos 14, 35, 43, and 48. live drums is our next step, followed by preliminary mixing. this rough mix will be a demo for press packs and booking, and as money comes in i plan on mixing and mastering at chicago mastering service.
stay tuned.
