I came up with this funky part Tuesday evening. It’s really fun to solo over when looped. Could be a basis for a full composition, I think. 🎵🎸

I’ve recently connected with a local singer and recorded his vocals for a song that has been waiting for better vocals for a couple of years 🤦🏻♂️. I’ve been trying to sing it myself but my vocals are not good enough. It’s a lesson I learned with my last song. Now I’m in the mixing stage.

Yesterday, while driving, I heard two songs on the PRM online radio that I liked. With the new history feature in Eter, I later added these albums to my Apple Music library. That’s exactly the use-case that I envisioned this feature for.

On Jan 19, I’m releasing my new song, “You Make Me Smile”. This is a sneak peak: guitar solo playthrough. It’s a light, positive song, with some unexpected ending. If you want early access to the song and stay up to date with my music activities, join my newsletter at music.gorban.org.

My daughter (looking sideways at me with some sly worry in her eyes ): Do you know what’s the limit of own tabs in Safari on iOS?
Me: No
D: 500 (continues looking at me with the suppressed nervous smile)
Me: 🙄
I don’t know how she manages to manage this. But then again, her room is a mess, too.

Used this Taylor on my folky song “Coy McCoy’s Devious Ploy”: song.link/i/1625535…

New🎵– a collab with another artist. It’s a chill-rock cover of Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”. It’s not true to the original – we experimented with sound and arrangement. I play electric solo guitar, bass, “drums”, some back vocals. She did the rest. Listen at song.link/i/1675138…

I call this short piece Ebb and Flow and it’s obviously inspired by Classical music.

I wonder what would happen if I posted some of my funny short music videos, like the one below, on LinkedIn. In order to lighten up people’s scrolling through same-sounding posts from self-proclaimed “thought leaders” www.youtube.com/shorts/7R…

Unexpectedly, I came up with some nice jazz lines yesterday. 🎵🎸

🎵 I released a new rock song yesterday. You might hear some Van Halen 🎸 influences in it. 80ies-rock sound. Welcome “The Perfect Band” to the world. Very proud of it.

🎵A new musical idea I had late last night. Feels kind of like classical piano étude to me but on a 🎸.
-
I usually forget to record myself when I’m actually recording 🎸 parts for a song. In the case, at least, I did record. In part, in order not to forget how to play. Occasionally I share work-in-progress with followers, like here.🎵
-
When I come up with musical ideas, I would often make quick recordings of them, before I forget the sound or the fingering. I can come to them later again to continue working on them, if they prove promising on a later day. This is one such recording. 🎵

The Perfect Band
My new single, “The Perfect Band”, is getting ready to be released on Spotify and other services on Nov 4th. It’s a proper 80ies-influenced rocker.
This song started from a simple idea of “The band that never met.” The writing of the first version of the lyrics and the music took only two days at the beginning of February 2022, but the recording process and, especially, the mixing took a long, long time.
Personally, I’m very proud of this song, it’s the kind of song that would be fun to perform live, and the sound of the mix reflects this a bit.
If you use Spotify, please spare a moment to pre-save it at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/jacobgorban/the-perfect-band-2 so that it’s in your library when it gets released.
I’ll have more updates about it soon.

🎵What a nice surprise! The pre-released songs were fantastic. But it’s too late to listen to the album now. 🥺Tomorrow’s gonna have a tasty soundtrack. Snarky Puppy becomes one of my favorite music. I also can’t get over how they produce it all and their musicianship is 🤯

The video for my new song (acoustic singer-songwriter/folk) will premiere on YouTube soon at www.youtube.com/watch

Tonight I was recording vocals for a song that I started about a year and a half ago. I couldn’t sing it well then but believed that the song was worth better singing. Took an online course. Not finished but got much better. Tonight’s result is pretty good. Kid-approved, too 🎵
