success 
and it all just came crashing down on me all at once.. all the music we are working with sounds SO great. I will enjoy this for tonight because it's not very often that I get to listen to my music and the music I am working on almost as if I am a complete stranger.

another Altamira 
apparently there is another band called Altamira from Philly who poses a bit of a real threat on Alta Mira's name.

We're seeing what we can do about it, as nicely as possible.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend 
Most everyone I know is out galavanting, but I chose to stay home.. there's a lot to do for ILR and some cleanup at the ledge.

Yesterday as my father and I managed to bash the hydrolic fluid filter on the cub cadet (it was too late to go get another one) Nick R and the Alta boys went out to seek the perfect press photo.. I can't wait to see the pics..

Tracking Day Two at Imaginary Road 
Well I can say that I have gotten myself accustomed to recording again. This time its much easier, perhaps I am a better guitar player, or a little more mature, but I came in with much more confidence and just got it done..

On this trip, I used a Froggy K Model (one of Will's) and my Breedlove to record with. Both were outstanding (incidentally, I got to meet Froggy, and he's a hell of a nice guy, and so is his dog http://froggybottomguitars.com/)

So I was able to complete 4 songs, two each day, all of which I am really happy about. It's going to be interesting to see what tracks I have recorded from Imaginary Road from 2005 that will even fit on this album..

Imaginary Road in the morning..







Back over the hill on my way home..

Tracking Day One at Imaginary Road 
It's been a while since I've been in front of the mics.. It's been a while since I've been in front of these mics, which aren't your average mics, but I think I did quite well. I got two songs done, and two more slated for tomorrow, which so far brings my album to 7 songs..

This morning was overcast, but I snapped a few cool pics at the studio, and down the road there is a really cool covered bridge..

Back at Imaginary Road 
okay, at some point I will get around to making a post about whats happened these past two years, and why there has been a complete absence of my blog since then, however for now I'll make a few short posts to get the ball rolling again..

I am back at Imaginary Road in Windham County, Vermont for two days of excitement in front of some recording equipment with Corin Nelson and Will Ackerman behind the helm.. It's been nearly 4 years since I was last here.. if you dig deep enough into this blog you'll see the posts..

Here's a few pics from my trip over the hill..

Off the highway now..



Can't say Will doesn't have class.. This is where I'm staying, which is right next to the studio, private lodging..

Big Gap 
It seems almost ridiculous to me that my blog has been down just short of 2 years. I guess I'll make a post soon about what happened. And I guess I'll get used to making blog posts again ha.

in talking to a friend, i realized that not knowing where to start is exactly what i need. its the perfect opportunity to organize my clusterfuck of thoughts and projects.

moved 
Okay, now that I've finally moved I have to get myself back into gear here, which I believe may take me a few days.. I am completely off track.. I almost don't know where to start.
