August first already...my how time flies...
Have added a vocal to track number 50 of the recordings made for the 'AUDITORIA' album, and sung it complete with the effects of my cold. My voice sounds darker and more husky, almost on the edge of breaking up, but I rather like it. It's fragile and intimate, an interesting experiment that adds a slightly different texture to the track.
I'll try to mix this one down this evening and then, at last, will begin the job of deciding a running order for each of the three discs in the set.
Here's a list of all the song titles. These are not in any order, it's simply a list of possible inclusions.

I'm not sure if I'll use all 50 tracks for the album...they may not all fit on it, (even though it's a 3 disc set,) plus when I start the process of listening back to each track, I may decide some tracks might better suit a different project. I may even choose to drop some tracks altogether and record something new to replace them. It's impossible to say at this stage. The album only starts to take shape when decisions are made as to how it should begin and flow from one track and disc to the next. It's like a journey on which the listener embarks. The terrain needs to be kept interesting and sometimes challenging along the way. We'll see...
