The Skinny This website is a showcase for a musical project I recently embarked upon. To write 7 songs in 7 days, but what would I call it?
Out of Context - by Alvaro Lopez-Moreno - finished april 2
The first EP put out by 7songs in 7days. The theme for this EP was non instruments used in a song. I used a different non instrument per song.
Family, Friends, and Neighbors - by Alvaro Lopez-Moreno - finished april 12
The second EP. The theme for this one was using other musicians. I used at least one different musician per song. I was hoping to learn how to work with different musiscians.

Under Cover - by Alvaro - I had a week or two after I moved back home where I couldn't write any new songs. Writers block and such. So basically I came up with the idea of doing a cd of all covers to make some music to get me back into the writing mode. I wrote this one in 7 days too.
Failure - by Alvaro - This was the first 7songs I put out after my writers block and I kind of had the idea that it was going to turn out pretty badly. I basically did a lot of these acoustic as folk songs and added effects to them later, but I also did several random heavily produced songs full of effects to tie the track together. I used several songs from one of the sketchbooks (Xsongs in Ydays) on this one.
Sketchbooks - These are not quite 7songs, but more sketches of songs almost an easier or smaller concept project.
