        <p>I&#8217;m working on posting a new song here very soon. But I had to get my hands on some sleigh bells, which took quite a bit longer than I would have imagined.
</p>
<p>
I finally found them in the &#8220;box of mystery&#8221;. This is a very long story.

        <p><a href="http://aenonfire.com" title="aenonfire.com">aenonfire.com</a> is an online magazine showcasing artists and musicians. When Clint asked if I would like to be featured, of course I said yes. I gave what I thought was a rather incoherent interview via a video chat one night (early morning), which turned into a very neat write up.
</p>
<p>
Big thanks to aenonfire.

        <p>I got some time together and mixed down a new song. I can&#8217;t really think of anything to say about it.
</p>
<p>
I call it killing me. It&#8217;s not my most upbeat song I&#8217;ll be the first to admit, it&#8217;s all part of a bigger picture. What that&#8217;s a picture of is anyone&#8217;s guess.

        <p>Charles and I finished recording the drum tracks for my songs over the weekend. That was 6 in 2 days. 3 in 3 hours on Sunday actually.</p>

<p>If I have one piece of advice to pass on from the experience, it is put a mic underneath your snare. Otherwise it kinda just sounds like a weird tom.</p>

<p>Mixes are comming soon, stay tuned.</p>

        <p>Previously I&#8217;ve always used programmed drumbeats, which I guess, in hindsight, didn&#8217;t really fit with the feel of my songs.
</p>
<p>
When I got a drum kit I resolved to replace the existing tracks with a real acoustic drum track. So Charles is coming over on the weekend to record some more. We&#8217;ve pooled our collection of microphones and drums and have managed to come up with a pretty good sounding kit.
</p>
<p>
He&#8217;s already recorded four songs. I&#8217;m going to put one up to listen to as soon as I have a mix I&#8217;m happy with.
</p>
<p>
They sound really good though, better than drums recorded at home.

        <p><b>Welcome to jessestephens.com</b>
</p>
<p>
This site has been a long time in the making. Mainly finding time and motivation to get it all set up. But here it is, finished. I say finished … what I really mean is &#8220;finishedish&#8221; I plan to tweak and ad features as time goes on and to fix all the little mistakes that I&#8217;m not noticing at the moment.
</p>
<p>
I&#8217;ll be posting songs here for everyone to listen to and trying to blog about the (long) process of me recording music.
</p>
<p>
Hopefully it works out.
