WHY HELLO THERE

My first blog entry…EVER

Yesterday’s session brought a wonderful surprise. Jetsunma (A.K.A The CODESS) came up to the studio! Lately we have been working on promoting and marketing our music and haven’t been doing much recording, but when Jetsunma came up she wanted to record. It was AMAZING to start working on a new song. She started laying down vocals on a beat/instrumentation that Yeshe and I had come up with. After finishing up her vocal parts she had me add some vocals to the chorus. The song is nowhere done, but has a beautiful start and we will continue to add layers of vocals and harmonization on top of what we did, oh and make the drums more BOOMY.

Whenever Jetsunma comes up to the studio, she completely livens up all things stale and stagnant. She has energy, force and drive to make this music count for something; to send messages of compassion and the blessings of mantra out to the masses. As conditions in our world worsen, and as war replaces love, it is her wish to get the music out as soon as possible. She is working hard for this. She always has incredible ideas about were something should be placed in the music, how something should sound… she is the executive producer and visionary behind Blinded by View!
Our job is to carry her vision out as best we can. We lay down the musical foundation in hopes of fully supporting and nurturing her voice and the message behind it.

“I WANNA CHANGE, I WANNA, I WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD…”

More to come…
This is singing cod here saying, “Thank Cod-ness and good night!”
