PRS day

Well, I've been lucky so far but today earnings are down. Apparently I'm not alone but that's no surprise or consolation. On the plus side, the dozen tracks I submitted were finally approved, all of them, no tweaks needed. This is a pleasant surprise. I need more tracks and more variety. More talent and drive would help there.

I have some ideas for more music for over the break so will take a similar approach and do a lot. However Tim's around and there's going to be lots of chances for us to work on tracks. Today we did a little overdubbing of 'Contopus' which has a couple of very good sections. Showed that I need more acoustic instruments, should get my own violin.

Doubt I'll get much time to work on novel for a while, I have a few old releases lined up for bandcamp and it's interesting that the old stuff goes down best. I guess I should not be surprised. Mind you everyone likes JIC and I discovered a gig from 2004 at the Space Centre that I'd forgotten about. Phil is playing a lot of guitar synth and I'm not sure it sounds like 'us' but I'll listen through and rate it...

I fixed up a few of the better tracks from the early 90s. It's a free download.

We also put up Tales of Summers Past, I ended up trimming the tracks a little to line up the track start and ends a bit more precisely. Anal to the last. Anyway, not convinced people will listen to it enough times to get it but what the heck. :)

Mum's dog Ally finally went home. Bob the rabbit seems more chilled now he's not being started at all the time. He's been hanging around the house these last few evenings because Pat noticed he's either been scratched or maybe a cat bit him.

Still having battles with the Analog Four. Some days I think it's worth the effort, other times I feel how I could design the best 'groove box' yet myself but nobody would build it. It's just so very much less than a P3/Radias combination and, really, is the size reduction so great? It's strongest point is still being able to have 128 complete projects on board, compared to the P3's 12. Well, I spose Cirklon and Radias, and.... it goes on. I'll never have the perfect gear for gigging and I'll keep resisting the laptop route and keep struggling. Perfectus super absolutionem. Missing Phil today. Weird to think we'll never play together again. Weird to think Binar might do another gig, hope that's a good idea....
