Do You Do Music? Nice To Make Your Acquaintance

By bretwp | Published: March 8, 2010

livemusicvector_preview Over the past couple of weeks I have been brainstorming for ideas on how to make more contacts in the music world. Regardless if they are ‘in’ the music industry or not, I am looking to meet and make contact with other musicians, engineers, producers, whatever.

There are only so many people that I can meet face to face every day, so natural I decided to look towards the internet in search of making these contacts. Again tho, even with the internet, there is only so much that I can do myself…this is where you come in.

I need YOUR help. If you support me and have my back, I need you to spread the word about me. This is really easy, just tell at least one friend or family member(if not more!), who is into playing, recording, writing, or making music in any capacity, to hit me up. Just a quick ‘hi, hello’ and I promise I can take it from there.

How can someone get in touch with me? Here are a couple of different ways:

An Excellent Example Of Seo Basics

By bretwp | Published: February 21, 2010

In order to test my knowledge of search engine optimization and document the process, I have put together a short web page and video that are an excellent example of seo basics.

By following some very easy steps, anyone can focus in on a keyword phrase and rank high in many search engines. While the steps are not particularly difficult, competition for specific keyword phrases can increase the amount of effort involved in getting to the top.

Without researching how many people are actually searching for my keyword phrase, I did check to see how many other sites google shows when you search for “an excellent example of seo basics”, and was unable to find any that were actually using seo for it specifically, which greatly increases my chances at ranking high for them.

In another lesson I will go over some options for researching keyword phrases traffic, and also seo competition. Both of those could easily be lessons on their own. Now that you know which phrase we are trying to rank for, we will get into the fun stuff.

Recording Studio Tips – What The Artist Needs To Know Before Entering The Studio

By bretwp | Published: February 16, 2010

A few months ago I posted a overview of my background in recording music called My Audio Background. It is time to revisit this theme and I wanted to go over a few recording studio tips that I feel the artists need to know before entering the studio.

There are two sides of recording music, the engineering and the performance. Typically the performer is coming into the engineers ’space’ or ‘world’ in order to capture as best as possible, their art. That being said, and myself having played both roles, I am confident that if you take these suggestions into consideration the next time that you record, it will go much smoother for everyone involved.

Some thoughts on telepathy

By bretwp | Published: February 9, 2010

ga_alexgrey03 The other day a couple friends of mine were playing some Soul Calibur on PS3, and one of the stages had some bird like creatures running around that I thought looked like the dodo bird.

Later that same evening I met up with some other friends of mine, during which time one of them begins to talk about the dodo bird.

Before this instance, I am pretty sure I had not thought about or heard ‘dodo bird’ in well over a year, probably much longer. So why two times in one day?

Another example could be when you are driving along down the road, or maybe sitting at a red light, and you feel like the person next to you is looking at you. You look over only to find that they are! How did you know, or better yet, feel that?
