Sidingsound

The first 'proper' Sidingsound Production?

Another quick 'ping' to the blog from my mobile (and it'll have to be quick, as I'm due back at my desk shortly from lunch), to report exciting times from the world of Sidingsound Productions. For all these years, I've been the archetypal 'bedroom musician', daydreaming of being an artist and producer in the public eye whilst watching musical friends and acquaintances actually going out and doing something about it. Well, I am pleased to announce, within the next week or so, the release of the very first Sidingsound production to be made available to the public... and no, it's not the concept album I keep wittering on about (though that's slowly budging forward, of which more another time). No, this is the children's songs CD I've been working on since last December, for my wife's programme of children's musical educational activity sessions. This evening, I will record the final overdub for the last song, mix it and add the song to the final master, whilst simultaneously finishing off the CD artwork and other 'loose threads', and bundling it all together to pack off to the duplicators. All in all, this project has been an educational experience in itself, not least with the ins and outs of copyright licensing (especially when you're not 100% certain who wrote some of the songs in the first place!), but I know I'll be quietly proud when I finally get to see this CD in the plastic, and think, "I produced this" (with some welcome help, of course). Watch this space for more info about the CD, hopefully before too long.
