Today's song (Song308_Chosen) completes another week of recording. The newest album, Week44_Future Eras, will be available in a few hours at www.anewsongeveryday.com.
I wrote today's song by layering a series of drum sequences, and then I recorded the bass guitar (first section=A-C-E, second section=A-G-F#m-F). Next, I added a few electric guitars...one distorted, one using an e-bow, and one picking solo notes. Finally, I added 6-8 synth tracks.
Thanks, Carly, for designing this week's album cover!

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.
