Day 11: Lyrics and Melody

I'm spending some time with the draft mixes I have, noodling out some melody and lyrics ideas in my head as I go about my day. This is my favorite part of songwriting. I like to sing through an idea a bunch of times, then wait a few hours doing something else before coming back and trying to sing it again. If I can remember it, it was catchy. If not, it wasn't. A self-limiting hook-writing process! A genetic algorithm that relies entirely on my own amusement.

The goal is to record vocals this weekend. I'll have the house to myself for a few hours here and there.

Another bit of news: I asked the hosts at Funkwhale's Open.Audio pod for account permission. If they grant it, I'll use that space instead of SoundCloud to host the bits and likely to host the final product.

I'm not sure how strict they are about granting accounts. We shall see!
