The music and musings of a rock singer, songwriter, guitarist whose name is a little hard to spell.
...and home of on-again, off-again alternative rock band, Weszt.

Been chipping away at this one for weeks. Now that I’ve got all the pieces, I’ll be re-recording most everything and developing a final mix.
However I thought it was good enough and exciting enough in this state to share now:

Oh hell yeah – I love this f’ing song. Abandoned the original verse after a few suggestions from my good friend, JW, wrote most of the lyrics while driving a U-Haul from Oregon to L.A., and was inspired to write it while watching skateboarders in Budapest and London. Rich history for a song I believe sums up the direction for Ashen Mix.

Still rough around the middle and has a ways to go before final tracks and a decent mix, but much a more evolved demo than Joyrider. Illustrates a lot of my ideas and I’m pretty happy with how they’re coming together.
Got some timing issues on the bridge to fix, but seemed like time to post something anyway.

This is one of the first tracks I worked on after setting up my basic home studio and a decent representation of where the new music is headed. Lots of focus on rhythm, guitar taking more of a color role. No acoustic here and I don’t expect any on the final tracks.
Anxious to start working on final performances as there is a bit of copy and paste going on. Helped when working out the arrangements, but far too sterile for anything final.
I think it’s all pretty damn interesting. Nervous about feedback, admittedly.
