ITP=In The Pocket
I’ve been working on a project that’s been in the planning stages for months. It’s called ITP- IN THE POCKET. Breaks down like this.
ITP is the band. The website in development (translation NOT READY YET) url is:songsinthepocket.org. You will be able to download the song for 99 cents and see a video and photos of the recording session along with history of the song.
I initially planned to record a CD. But, thought it’s a waste of my time and money. Using a newer approach appealed to me, so I’m taking this path. This is why…
When I was a kid, I used to go into a record store and look at the record jackets. I did this for what seemed like hours. I was a wacky kid. But, I dug music and bands. I loved album artwork and I really liked reading liner notes. Just knowing who did what when was cool to me. It brought me closer to the music. In short, this experience is what I’d like to achieve with IN THE POCKET.
We shot video and photos and the recording session at the same time we cut the track. It’s easier said then done. I’m really happy with our progress. We are mixing the song and the video is is being edited. It’s been a gas. I hope you check it out.
Steve Acito at Bluewire Media shot the video of the session. Steve also produced my daveudrums.com video. He rocks and so does his team. We brought in a photographer, Roger Alex Lewis, during the recording to capture photos.
Can’t wait for you to see it.
