Recording and choosing a musical identity

I've been working on a new recording project recently and something about having it "on the record" feels sort of ultimate. All of a sudden I'm checking to make sure the music is really "me" and then it goes back to that essay question they used to give you in Jr. High - "Who are you?" Choosing a musical identity is tricky. Maybe it's because I"m a Gemini, but some days I want to go for a real world rhythm sound, other days the Irish influence seems most important, and then I listen to some of the tracks and a few of them sound very orchestral, but not in a bad way. I guess we all aren't just one thing, but since an album is supposed to be some sort of cohesive unit, figuring out what that is, is a project in and of itself....
