great stuff. do you do more acoustic stuff?

I think this is my favorite one so far.

Thanks John. Week 3 was acoustic, and with the week deadline to write and record there’s enough of a time crunch that I can see more acoustic songs coming just to make deadline. I’m thinking next week’s song may be…but really, I have no idea what direction the songs will go from week to week. I’m a pretty big slow-core fan, so I count bands like Idaho, Red House Painters, Low and Codeine are among my influences. So, yeah, I’m sure that will come through as the project rolls on. Either way, thanks for listening.

So I may have missed it, but are you intentionally recording all this stuff using the iPhone and now Mikey? I’m just curious if that’s part of the experiment per se or just a matter of that’s what you have readily available.

Cory,

Can I come in and cut the drum track to this song?

I mean, no disrespect to your drum skills. Just thought it would be fun to cut a track together.

Dale: Absolutely. I’ll give you a call. I mean, they are your drums after all! And really, I would like to bring some guest musicians in to the mix as part of this.

Sayf: Yeah, sort of. I didn’t make a rule that says I have to record using the iPhone, but I don’t think that this project would’ve come together had it not been for it. I guess the idea is to not waste time (that I don’t have) with too much setup, or song revisions…which is more or less in the spirit of good old low-fi indie rock. It’s just a phone instead of a boom box. That said, I’ll probably keep putting multiple mics on the drums and use my high-fi junk because frankly I’m obsessed about drum sound. You should try it, it’s fun.

This is very ambitious and cool project Corey! I saw your post in the Riffworld forums and had to check it out. I havn’t tried 4 track yet (don’t have an iPhone and my iPod touch is first gen) but you might be interested in trying to use Riffworks to bring in guest musicians. I’ve always been happy and suprised by the additions to collaborations I’ve started there.

Just stumbled across this site from Sonoma’s mention and am mighty impressed. Way to go. As an iPhone / 4 Track user I’ll watch this with interest. I’ve seen stuff about the Mikey before but haven’t been persuaded to get one, yet, but might order that breakout cable you found. I’ve been looking for a good one for ages. Would love to use a decent mic for a change (been making do with Griffin’s mic and headphone adaptor. Not brilliant.)
