Silent Night (SOTW #13)

two seconds away — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:42:52 +0000

Have you ever played that game where you sit in a circle and someone whispers a short story in the ear of the person to their right and then that person retells the story to the person on their right, and on and on until you get back to the person who started it? As people add their own interpretation to the story it changes and by the end it’s often something totally different.

Well, that is a good picture of what creating a song is like for us. One of us will start a song as a sketch and then we send it back and forth and add our own flavor. The process is a lot of fun and the end result is usually far different than either of us imagined at the beginning. For this song Patrick put down the keys and vocals and Tim added the geetar and pseudo bass. We hope you like it.

Even though this is only our second Christmas song I think we’re both ready to get back to our “normal” music. Hope everyone has a great Christmas!

Drummer Boy (SOTW #12)

Christmas is in 2 weeks!!! Wow! So, we’ve decided it’s only appropriate to grace this page with some good ol’ Christmas music (done “two seconds away” style, of course.) About 3 weeks ago we asked for requests for favorite Christmas music and although we can’t do them all, here is one that Carolyn requested.

Tim had a lot of fun with all the percussion on this. We busted out some old school vintage drum machine sounds since we don’t actually have drums. This is also the first time Patrick busted out the hammered dulcimer. Enjoy!
