Words in the CiTi

As you all know, Check One Two is in full swing. The band is rocking and we got some real heat coming through. Strangely enough though, as the principle producer of the group, I can’t help but feel like something is missing in my musical life. I can’t tell you how often I have made a song and scrapped it because it didn’t sound like CO2. Looking back, I was really doing myself a disservice because it is obviously something that my soul needed to get out. The trick is balancing the two sides together, not showing favoritism for one side or the other. If I make a track that could work for both, than obviously it’s going to CO2.

I don’t really see how they would cross over though. My personal stuff if dark, and a little deeper. CO2 doesn’t, really do deep . I actually don’t know how it’s going to turn out. There is always the strange parable of what your envision versus what it ACTUALLY sounds like. I can’t tell you how many time I have imagined something in my brain that came out sounding nothing like what I heard in the grey matter. Whether it’s due to lack of skill, or that strange instrument sound the can never be found, there is always something that make you compromise with yourself. Sometimes it’s acceptable, sometimes it’s deleted.

So over the next couple of months, I will be working on my personal project. A little darker, a little grungier, and a little more sing songy. Will there be any rap? Of course, but I can’t guarantee how much. I will also try to set up some video to go along with it. We’ll see what my time is like.

Will you come with me on my journey?
