OK, so I’ve been absent for quite some time. Unfortunately I had a relapse and spent my days feverishly in bed. I don’t know what my body has against me or if it was just sheer bad luck. And remarkably bad timing since my voice is sufficiently messed up. While I was sick and bored on my [...]
I’ve been flat out for a whole week. After just having recovered from a cold I managed to get the flu, too. It came as the whole package: fever, chills, aching all over, extreme weakness… you name it. I sincerely hope that I’m done with being sick for this year. Especially since [...]
Still working on ‘In Unison’ and I really like the way it’s going. I spruced up the beats, all done now I guess apart from some panning and effects fun. They’re almost drum’n’bassey except the sounds I used are softer. I also took care of quite a few little [...]
Got a bit late last night and I’m trying to get up earlier. The cold’s been messing with my sleeping pattern. It’s not like I need to get up at a certain time every day, music can be made till late at night, but it sure helps reducing the pressure of ‘Oh my god, it’s [...]
I’ve got this song called ‘In Unison’ that I’d already written two different refrains for neither of which I was happy with. So I wrote another one that I really like so far. I hope it sticks this time. I recorded the Rhodes and a delayed toypiano and added nice backing [...]
More preparations for the gig with Bobby Starrr. Built some more ‘instruments’ so I can play stuff live on my Mac/keyboard and won’t only trigger everything. That’d be a bit boring. Made nice broken beats as an interlude and found some great VST plugins with which I can [...]
No news in the last couple of days because the cold had me lying on the couch. Much better now though. My nose still looks a bit like Rudolph the Reindeer’s and I’ve got a croaky voice, but that’ll subside in the next days. On the upside… I watched some great movies [...]
Last night it got really late. I only went to bed when light started seeping in and the birds starting singing. Hence I got up late, too. Then I realised that I had to do a couple of things I had put off for quite a while and that seriously needed to be done. Administrative and business things. [...]
