I'm a bit directionless today. Holding fire on the serial killers and atmospheric stuff for now cos I think they want to send some of their usual spreadsheet/comments. Could potter on the hardware but lacking motivation. Could maybe work on my novel but feeling very lethargic and generally lazy. Ordered the new Synthi pins. Weather is another of those grey, windless days with a featureless blanket of cloud hanging over the entire sky. It's been like that for a while now and the lack of connection with the sky is actually quite oppressive. I may listen to some music and see if that cheers me up.

Finished two tracks today and started a third. Sent the two in, they seem OK to me. Lost out on the lambda, someone else wanted it. Hey ho, spose I should spend the cash more sensibly. I liked the idea of the limitations of a string machine, maybe I should look for something else similarly limited. Or there are a few Prodigies for sale at the mo, none local though, and do I really need another monosynth? I know the answer to that one.

Not bad day, track started and sounding good. Virus gone, will see if Tony has flogged his lambda, or should I be sensible now I have cash? Worked in the garden cutting stuff down, noticed more spawn. Then I put up the curtain pole in the bedroom, so all in all I think I deserve an indulgent evening on the analogues doing weird stuff. The bonus of that is increasingly that the loops I make are useful for library work, especially this serial killer stuff.

So all good.

This evening my 9 second track became 12. Not as good. Much longer crescendo too.

Today I put up the clothes line. Man work. Hammered and screwed some shit. It's not quite vertical but neither am I.

There's a bloke on telly walking on water. Darn convincingly. He says he's pushing his own envelope. I'm usually content with licking mine and would be happier still never to have to. Criss Angel. Maybe he's Jesus 2?

I need a bigger crescendo apparently. Not the first time I've been asked - but the first when I only had 9 seconds allocated to get there!

Working on the ad music, having fun trying to be orchestral.

Wow, amazing day. Three tracks all much liked and a brief for a 9 second thing to be done over the weekend. Possibly big use so I have to try hard! Now, to get hammered!

Colin and Tony here, lovely day, Tony's latest modular box very sweet. Might get some coding out of Colin if I'm lucky. Curry this evening though then Modularis tomorrow. Could do a little work but feel like chilling instead so that's what I'll do...
