Eye in the Sky
This is the first song I started recording early in the COVID crisis. I was idly thumb-mute plucking a B in a steady 8th note pattern, and realized that was the intro to "Eye in the Sky," a song I've always liked by Alan Parsons Project.
I ended up recording all the essential tracks on bass, with various EQs and effects to emulate different instruments. Matt and Miles Clowminzer added lead guitar and drums, respectively, and Michael Leroy Peed added some synth pads to tie it all together. Last but not least, I somehow managed to recruit my son Harley to add a little vocal magic near the end.
Hope you enjoy it!more
