Digital Music Front

Lately my musical endeavors have been much like this blog, which is to say, I’ve done pretty much nothing. After my last rant regarding my craptastic monitors, I’ve felt less inclined to put much effort into producing, almost as if the effort is not really worth it until I can over come this hurdle (which is fundamentally a financial problem). Ideologically speaking  this shouldn’t really be stopping me, I was talking to the Rockstar Philosopher just the other day about the realisation that I could and should just focus on getting the music down and worrying about post when I’ve got better equipment. Practically speaking I’m not very good at this, I hate leaving something unfinished… I just sank 100 hours into playing Lost Odyssey to completion before I would even think about picking up another game.

I have however, mostly by accident, managed to start working on another track while ‘Thru the wringer’ languishes in its unmastered state. As seems to be my modus operandi I stumbled upon the beginnings of this next track while cobbling together unfinished bits and pieces from previous work. Every now and then while I’m working on something I will stumble across a bass line or a note progression that I like which isn’t really suitable for the piece I’m working on and just save it in a different file. Then one day when I’m bored I go thru all this crap aiming to clear most of it out and end up using half of it. Behold, Frankensong is born… Actually… I should use that.
