It begins…

I have the studio set up in a vacant room with nice high ceilings and floorboards. I started work last week so far it is sounding good. I am trying to be as minimalist as possible and record the best sounds i can going in so i don’t have to resort to lots of mixing trickery to get a good sounding song.  As i listen back to the tracks i hear a million different ideas so it’s a constant battle to keep focused. I still want to keep this minimalist but then again rhythms keep appearing in my head that would lift certain songs so perhaps i will start to create what i hear. For anyone thinking of upgrading to Leopard for mac…forget it. It is the greatest pile of shite i have ever encountered. Today is the first day since i have been back that it is not raining and the sun is out so i am going to take a few hours off and walk in the sun.It’s about time this album started. I waited too long for all the pieces to fit before starting. The pieces never fit and the time is never right so just fucking start. As soon a i finish this one i am going to start work on the next and have it finished by this time next year.There i have said it. It’s out there..
