Blue Steps by Ed McKendry
“BLUES STEPS”
“Blue Steps” is a 7-song EP of original music produced at home during COVID-19 lockdown.
Working with Phil Joly, a Grammy Award winning Producer/Mixer/Engineer, and benefiting from his overall production approach, we were able to produce a set of music that is sonically unique in its simplicity.
This entire project was done without ever being in a room together. I recorded all the songs in my home studio (Blue Steps), played all the instruments and vocals, and then shared the digital files with Phil for his feedback, guidance and ultimately, his mixing work.
I might suggest that you go a little “old school” and set aside the time to initially listen to all seven tracks in one sitting. I hope the music can help you relax and reflect. Let a little time go by and enjoy.
Thanks for listening.
Ed
