I've been experimenting recently with drum sounds off thigns other than drums. For example a while back i got a cool reverberated (i think that's a word) sound from setting a microphone inside of a bathtub and playing on the outside of it. Or a friend of mine said he got an interesting sound...

My sister is a photographer and so we end up having long discussions of art in it's different forms. Recently it got me to thinking of the differences between her visual art and my auditory art. Basically, is the difference really as extreme as it seems? When you hear a great songs that...

Ok I know this question is going to get me a lot of flack if I don't word it correctly. Basically I was wondering if someone could dl a song or two of mine off of www.sonicbids.com/joshenglish and tell me if they think I should be satisfied with the recording I have. I recorded an Alverez...
