I also want to do something really different from what everyone else is doing..I already have a big idea, but I don't want to say too much lest some other artists or bands beat me to the punch! But with the many jazz and classical musicians I have worked with outside of Tiki Central (and using my real name, not "lucas Vigor") I am looking to something that would involve a lot of people... All the songs on the myspace that I have posted were recorded with really substandard recording equiptment. I know that with access to pro software, there is much better stuff that I could be doing (and will do). Those songs on the myspace are very raw, all first takes of each track. I lacked the ability to punch in and correct mistakes, and being that it was NOT done on a computer, I also could not fix the kind of mistakes that makes other people's recordings seem so polished and perfect. (with pro-tools and other prgrams, you can easily fix pitch or timing problems) it is what it is, though. I stand by the fact that I played every single instrument on them, not just the bass. It would be nice to also do some collaborations with some of the artists on tiki central that are basically on the same page as me musically (into lounge, latin, jazz, etc). They know who they are, of course. Perhaps one day they will take a closer listen to my stuff and change their minds about me. (Despite being on this forum for over 7 years, I have never been contacted by any of them. I guess there is some rumour out there, among them, that I am not a very good musician. But, I let my songs on the myspace address that.) Meanwhile, the recording project I am doing right now is the Hula Girl's CD. THIS is going to be something very, very special. We have some guest artists that are going to suprise a lot of people! I actually can't wait for this to be done, and I am very happy with the progress we are making on it! Here is me and Dominic Tucci doing background vocals last week: http://www.myspace.com/lucasvigor http://www.myspace.com/thesmokinmenehunes http://www.myspace.com/thehulagirlsband "yer jus not tuned into the series of tubes yet, let it soak in".
