Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

I am indeed an industrious little bastard.

I’ve been following Shannon Campbell’s site for a while now, partly for her sass, partly for her incredible songwriting chops.

A little while ago I downloaded one of Shannon’s MP3s, a little demo called “Dreaming Of Violets,” and imported it into Home Studio ‘02. I tweaked and compressed the track, played around with some reverb. I saved the track and forgot about it.

A few weeks after that, I added a bass line. I saved the track and forgot about it.

Weeks after that, harmony vocals. Saved. Forgot.

Then last night, I pulled out the ashiko and added a drum part. Then I squashed it all back down to MP3 and emailed it to Shannon. Then I nervously bit my fingernails for a few hours.

The verdict is in: she likes it!

Dreaming Of Violets redux (2.5MB) Shannon Campbell, guitar and vocals. Yours truly on drum, bass and harmony vocals. Pretty cool to do a duet with someone I’ve never met in person.

Postscript: I should point out that while I live in the Bay Area, Shannon is in Harrisburg PA and soon bound for South Carolina.
