So for my recording engineering class, we have an assignment to do called a 'lift'. This is where we have to choose a song, and rerecord it and recreate it as closely to the orginal as possible. The song I chose to do is, "Kill the Messenger" by Jack's Mannequin.
I don't want to jynx it, but so far it seems to be going well. Last Thursday night, I was in the studio recording the drums. Bryson Cassidy was nice enough to learn the song and play drums for me. And might I add that he is quite talented.. or as Becky puts it, "Man, he's smooth." haha.. :)
I have decided that I want to play piano on my own lift. Tonight was my first crack at learning the song. It's a bit more challenging than I expected, seeing as I'm quite rusty it seems. Although, my goal for tonight was to the learn the first page of the song and I did. Hopefully I can keep this pace up; learning a page per night. Then, once I've learned the song, I can focus on speeding it up. The speed is what's going to kill me. I'm just praying that with all of my other assignments mixed in, that I can still finish the song in time to record it.
On Friday, I have Allan coming into the studio with me to record the bass and guitar for the song. It should be interesting.
It's all very exciting, but very stressful at the same time.
Wish me luck!
