At Jon's house June 30, 2006. Liz and twins at Bonaparte, Jon and I jammin'. The night after the jam, late night Sat. July 1, 2006: wow, discovered Logic does "beat mapping". This lets me set the metronome to us playing by constantly making small adjustments to the tempo by drawing a line between the metronome ruler marks and marks made for transients in the kick, snare, agit tracks (whatever I tell it to analyze). Wow that made things go from good to awesome. I added an Apple Loop, "Conga Groove 10", and then dropped in a MIDiI loop "World Bongo 03" that was bongos in the loop browser but I used it on an UltraBeat track with the 2-step drum kit and a Sculpture track with the "Tribal Drums" patch. I even copied it to an EXS24 "Grand Piano" track and added some chords. That's mix 1. Another night, I added chords to take the progression from 2 chords to a longer 8-bar pattern, for some parts. Some night I wrote that beautiful piano part for the 2 crescendos, just clicking in the Matrix Editor. Late July 5 (Wed) I recorded real bass, the Ibanez Roadstar II direct through the Firepod. That made mix 2. in the afternoon of July 13 (Thu), I recorded an acoustic guitar overdub (the Earthworks SR77 up close through the Symetrix preamp and S/PDIF, the Rode NT1-A a bit more than 2 feet away through the Firepod). That makes mix 3, what ended up the final mix.

Overview:
There are cassette tapes by "The Andy Band" dating back to 1979, when Andy was 14 years old, and he is still an avid recording musician. Sometimes The Andy Band is all about "hit record and go" improvisation, other times it's all about one-man-band multi-tracking in the studio. Since 2010, Andy has been playing some of these songs live near his new home in Vermont at open mics. He relishes the thrill of improvising with an audience, as well as singing three-part harmonies and playing bass with players there. But he also loves building up a song with layers and layers of Andys, singing and playing everything.
