An acoustic version of my song "My Storm." I recorded this song back in August at Blue Chair Studio in Austin, Arkansas w/ recording engineer (and owner) Darian Stribling.

Darian also colored this song up a bit with some electric guitar.

My Storm

I call this a little Christmas miracle because between babies in the background, recording equipment messing up, everyone fighting colds, and just the normal holiday chaos... it's a miracle we were able to get anything recorded! I didn't plan on sharing this (it was actually a gift for my Mom for Christmas) but I just felt like I should. My brother Jonathan and I have not recorded anything since high school and his wife Lacey and I have never recorded together. So I'm pretty happy that we were able to do this! The whole thing is pretty raw, but it's real! Jonathan & Lacey lead worship at Cross Life Church in El Dorado, AR if ya ever wanna stop in and hear them...or you can live stream online. Much love friends. Happy New Year!!!

(song by Desperation Band)

Rescue - Worship song Jonathan, Lacey & Annalisa Nutt

a scratch take from tonight..
it's chilly out.
outside in the dark i startled two beasts...
i froze.
once my eyes adjusted to the night i realized it was only two deers.
they had been eating the dewy field grass.
we stared at each other for awhile.
no one moved.
i could feel my heart.
i could almost feel theirs.
but who really was the inferior one?
i walked back inside of the music studio
and quietly shut the door.
it's October.
my favorite month.
and it's almost gone.
and i'm getting older.
and i can see it in my face.
time flies and sweet things die.
and i know there is life within death..
but it racks my brain..
and downright immobilizes me at times.

anyhow,

i'm messing around with what will be "short piano interludes" on my album.
and here's a sample tonight...
it's a super scratchy take w/ crazy reverb.
i just re-listened to it in my bedroom & i like where it's going..
although it's a bit messy, i like where my high range could take this piece.
really i probably should end this audio post with "Trick or Treat!" since it's not polished.. but you are getting skeleton bare bones tunes sung from my guts wich seems appropriate for the coolest time of the year... Halloween!!

hoooooowwwll.

PS: this piece will have beats


October Dream Howl

i went out to the studio the other day.... it had been a long time...
and i recorded this on my MIDI keyboard.
it's a work in progress.
i wrote this simple song during a really difficult time last summer on the old piano in my parents house.
i was experiencing some spiritual confusion, self doubt &amp; desperation to the point of becoming physically ill.
it was one of those times where i realized i just really, really NEED a Savior.
not only need, but want.
i think it's certainly a good thing to be a free-thinker..to think outside of the box, but sometimes it feels like a curse, the struggle to find your ground.
it is times like those when we need revelation.


I Need You Now

this is my first recording using Ableton Live 8.1.3
i have been introduced to the most exhilarating musical making process!

this song is in a completely raw, unmixed, first draft form.
(with the exception of a little reverb on my vocals.)
some ornamental elements that you hear will be removed, some will be added.
i may still play around with the lyrics, i may change the layout a little.
but one thing i do know:
magical beats are definitely to come.

i mic'd my piano for this one.

Is It Over? (skeleton version)

Another rough drafter.
or drifter.
There will be gently crashing beats on this one very soon.
This is piano and my vocals only..
with a touch of reverb for your dreams sake.
Once again, things can and will be changed on this.

Skywaves (skeleton version-before the beats)

This will probably be set to back to private. i just needed the link for a minute. but if anyone hears it before it's taken off, check out....
the music of Matthew Santos here: http://www.matthewsantos.com

and my cover of this song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agfv1yGnQXU

Matthew Santos "My Remedy" (featuring my harmony)

in the same fashion as "My Remedy" i recorded some harmonies over the top of his song.
easy now. girl don't know how to mix or master.. so this is a rough copy. :)

Matthew Santos "December's Ghost" (featuring Annalisa)

this is me and the Pops singing one of his original songs. we sat down and recorded this on one track (although later i added a couple more tiny spots of harmony onto a 2nd track.)
Dad is on gutiar. just a plug in and play recording..
few flubs but we just wanted to hurry and post it!

PS: that little photo is him and Gavin (grandson) in Colorado having fun in the snow!
