Concept art for July CD package

This work in progress is for a project tentatively titled July. My hope is complete and release a six song album by September. The songs will be available to listen to and download online. I also hope to prepare a DVD featuring dual audio tracks for switching between an acoustic version and a fully instrumented, 5.1 surround mix version, along with whatever audio/visual goodies I can manage to produce. Who knows, there might even be a music video Derek Olson and I having discussed making via Dirty Sprocket. But just getting the audio version done is a pretty ambitious goal for me.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these working versions. All are in various stages of arrangement, editing and recording. No live vocals or non-virtual instruments or performances have been added yet. However, most of the virtual instrumentation heard here will remain as part of the full version.

A third and final component of the July project will be a live performance version, which, if it manifests, will be arranged substantially different.

ALBUM: July (Working title) - 2009

The Convertor is a late addition to this album project, bring the total number of songs with full instrumentation to Six. I actually began writing this song in 2001 for my band at the time, but shelved it in 2002 when I moved from Mitchell to Belle Fourche. The vocal melody line is set in the turkish lute right now. There is very little arrangement done on this. Towards the end there will be a little choral part with some nice movement (I hope). Stay tuned.
