I'm starting a new challenge where I record in a single takes for 30 days straight. I've found that just with streaming covers, I'm not as creative. This is an attempt to put together my first album. At the end of the challenge, I'll at least understand Studio One lol. Leave some feedback, I'd love to hear what you think! All of this was improv and recorded with a USB cable connected to my Boss Katana head. It doesn't record true to the tone, you'll hear my effect pedals going way more in the recording than what I hear through my amp :( In the future, I'll just use distortion with a booster.

Every Day Recording Challenge

Day 1 of my Challenge

How often do you think about your nearest star? Though it may not seem like it from here on Earth, our trusty Sun is a place of mystery. Take a good look at its influence on our planet – through the otherworldly experience of eclipse, maybe, or the aurora – and you might get sucked in… to a citizen science project, that is. Join NASA Sun scientists like Liz Macdonald and volunteers like Hanjie Tan to listen to crickets fooled by the false night of an eclipse, discover new colors in the aurora, and hunt for comets hiding in the plasma of our Sun’s atmosphere. And learn how you can get involved in NASA science while experiencing our nearest star firsthand.  This is episode three of the Sun and Eclipse series from NASA’s Curious Universe, an official NASA podcast.

Sun Series: Space Weather | About the Episode

From Earth, the Sun can seem steady and predictable. But when you look at our star close up, there’s a lot going on. Go behind the scenes with NASA’s Moon to Mars Space Weather Analysis Office, a team monitoring space weather—eruptions of radiation and plasma from the Sun that can wreak havoc on spacecraft and pose dangers to astronauts. We’ll also revisit the most powerful geomagnetic storm on record, an 1859 event that produced northern lights visible in the tropics and made electrical systems go haywire.

On episode 332, NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test Commander Butch Wilmore and Pilot Suni Williams discuss their astronaut journeys and preparation to be the first humans to fly Starliner.

Houston We Have a Podcast: Crew Flight Test: The Astronauts

For the first time, a NASA spacecraft is flying through the Sun's atmosphere. Nour Raouafi, project scientist for Parker Solar Probe, explains why the Sun's corona is the source of one of the biggest mysteries in all of space science. So, what does it take to build a probe that can touch the Sun—including surviving temperatures of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit and barreling through sudden eruptions of solar plasma—and live to tell the tale? We'll also go inside the fleet of NASA spacecraft studying the Sun from many angles, including the rescue mission to save a wildly spinning observatory before it became lost in space forever.

Sun Series: Soaring Toward the Sun

How inflatable habitats moved from concept papers to the International Space Station, and what NASA is doing to eventually put one on the Moon.
