I made up this piano part early this morning (along with everything else). This is a pretty basic pop song, but people like these for a reason...it makes the feet move. I haven't had access to a piano for a while, so I feel like I'm still getting used to keys on my fingers (instead of strings).
I took a break from recording to go to church. The guest preacher was very excited. He looked like Martin Scorsese and talked like Ricky Ricardo. Very inspirational...as was the fireworks show last night that was only 300 yards from our house. Best finale ever, but this paragraph has little to do with today's song.
I had loosely planned on sticking to certain musical genres for a period of time. So far there have been few rules to follow, which is what makes this project so much fun.

About Me
- OTTO
- My name is Matthew Otto, I am from Texas (USA), and I have been writing and recording music for years with various bands (2nd Home, oneunder) and under various aliases (Mumford, Squishy Jackson, OTTO). When I was 16 (1991) I bought a Tascam 4-Track cassette recorder, and my life hasn’t been the same since. I recorded hundreds of hours of music on that small recorder before graduating into the world of ProTools (2001). Over-dubbing and multi-tracking became a few of my favorite terms. Years of approaching music from a solo stand-point has allowed me to streamline the creative and technical processes involved with writing and recording. At this point in my life (34) I feel ready to challenge myself by recording a new song every day. At the very least it will improve my abilities, but I’m also hoping that the uniqueness of this project will stimulate the word-of-mouth machine…making my music available to new ears. I will start in July 2009 and continue for up to one year.
