The Laptop Sessions: Behind the Scenes IV (Acoustic Cover Music Video Series)

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Welcome to a special edition video that Chris has done a few for. Now it’s my turn!

This video documents an unusual way to lose a take. We here at laptopsessions.com have many ways to mess up during our recordings - missed chords, forgotten lyrics, sounds in the background, etc. Thankfully you see only the best.

However, now you get a rare look!

Well, enjoy this while I get today’s session up and running!

I know it late, but for anyone who knows me, that won’t be a surprise…

And what isn’t late is my session for today!!

Video Blog: How Songwriter Jim Fusco Writes a Song - Part 3, a video documentary

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

By Jim Fusco:

A few years ago, I did a video documentary for my MySpace blog (http://myspace.com/jimfusco) showing how I go through the songwriting process.

This particular video shows how I develop a chord progression, a tune, and lyrics for a song from scratch.

Of course, I don’t write many of my songs this way- this was a long and tedious process. But, it’s interesting to see how I began the writing process in Part 1, completed the writing in Part 2, and played live for the first time ever (a few days later) in Part 3.

I hope you enjoy my mini-documentary and will check out my other “How I” videos, like “How I Record A Song” and “How I Develop A Song”!

Video Blog: How Songwriter Jim Fusco Develops A Song

By Jim Fusco:

Hello and welcome to another Jim Fusco video podcast! I’ve been working on my new album, “Halfway There”, and thought I would give an update on my progress while also talking about how I go about developing a song.

I think there’s some interesting tidbits in here about my creative process, which differs GREATLY from my friends’ creative process.

I’d love to hear comments about how you work out songs and your thoughts of how I’m approaching songwriting!

To keep getting updates, please subscribe to my videos, and visit the blog at http://laptopsessions.com .

Also, you can get the new album, when it comes out, at my Official Website at http://jimfusco.com . Thanks for watching!
