Well, everything is still manic.
I never have time for more than one thing at a time alongside work and homelife.
I’ve managed to read 2 books so far this year, neither by ‘new’ authors. This time last year it was over a dozen.
New bands, i’ve found loads on Soundcloud, some amazing talent that only a few people have got to listen to. I have every intent to review & help these guys in my small way at some time soon.
I’ve managed to write 5 tracks of my own, all totally on iPad wherever i may be, each one an improvement, a development beyond the previous ones.
One track, a cover, has been picked up by a singer who’s currently recording the vocal for it (major pride moment!).
One thing i have re-learned, i don’t run with the main crowd. I don’t want to be lost in the same pile as so many others. Its good to be a little different, but i’ve been that way since i was a kid.
If you get a chance, search for ‘Carbonish’ on the Soundcloud website. Take a listen and leave a comment if you feel inclined.
The Replicas project with Justin is still moving, just a bit slowly at the moment due to other commitments. I’m even trying to get a copy to Gary Numan himself as his work inspired Justin’s story. The edit is complete, the book is complete as an e-book and once we are ready to push, away we go.
Other twists occur, i’m reviewing iOS music apps, guesting on other blogs… Well… I’m currently writing my second one but its a fantastic reason to delve into the depths of new iOS synths and play a small part in a new, growing community of iOS musicians.
And as usual, one of the things that drops off to one side is catching up here… But hopefully the next post will come a lot lot sooner.
Back soon…
