We're up to about 10 new songs now....they've come about in various ways....there are 4 of them that have a lyric and vocal to them so far. All the rest are starting their lives as instrumentals...we do that a lot.
One of them started with a riff in 11/8 that I got the tonality of from hearing a jazz ensemble on cable tv.
We sometimes start off with a bass riff....and sometimes start of with a chord progression..every now and then I'll start off with a set of lyrics which will inspire the music.
A few of the songs came out of something we heard after recording a couple of jams....then we turn them into songs...we record a rehearse and re-arrange every week...when you are actively writing and jamming all the time with the whole band present things start to happen....it's a cool part of the whole process.
