Whispering

I have found it to be a bit challenging to record music in the house since my usual window of opportunity is after the kids are all in bed. I decided that I can either wait several years until the kids are more self-sufficient so I can do any vocal-work during the day, or I could just whisper-sing at night. My wife and I tried to sing quietly one night recently and it wasn't a complete failure. I use a software amplifier from "JACK-Rack" to boost the signal from a cheap V-Tech vt-1030 dynamic microphone that I've had since my teenage rock/grunge band playing days.

Later I had the idea that maybe I could start writing lyrics designed for a loud whisper. I think it is an idea worth pursuing and at the very least it will give me a focus and project design that will push me to accomplish something. I have aptly named it project Whisper, Whisperer Err, Whisperin Her Err, or something like that.

I will be writing and editing lyrics right from this blog so hang on, it could be a bumpy ride. I will designate project Whisper's lyrics with the following signature:

-Shhh!
