My first musical collaboration will be performed for the first time tonight as part of the Ars Nova Ant Fest 2010. I wrote about the process briefly on the youngblog.
It’s been a lot of fun. I’d wake up, have my cup of coffee, write some lyrics and e-mail them off to Nate. By late afternoon, it would be a song. We’d bring in John Bennett—and then later folks like Sarah Goldfeather, Emil McGloin, and others—and then it became like a band. Hard to think of a collaborative process as smooth as this one.
Tonight we’ll sing around 14 songs…my hope is that we can add 10 more in the months ahead and try to have a 24-track concept album ready for late-Spring, at which point I think the project will be complete….right? We’ll see…
