Morning earworm: Midnight Shuffle, an old original fragment. This was just a working title, honoring the late hour at which it was written. That is one thing I do miss about the old house - it was a two story thing, and I could work all night down in the basement without disturbing the wife sleeping upstairs.
Feeling the mid-week sag here. I confess it's been awhile since I've done this much creative work in so focused a time; it is exhausting, in a different way than sustained physical labor. Yeah, I know - whine whine snivel. Still much to be done, but I think I will be focusing a bit more on the practical aspects for today; hardware, signal routing, and such, giving the creative side of the brain a little time to digest and process this massive and multi-faceted download.
I can't help but notice that I went into this with the intention of generating some new material for the solo gig, and yet most of what is appearing is full-production band material, largely undoable in my solo context. So it goes - as I have said before, I have no real control over the process; I ask the Muse what needs to be played, and this is what I am getting. Arguing is pointless - I am grateful to be taken into Music's confidence at all.
A test of our understanding is whether we can apply it in practice.

Yup, so this is my alter ego, too....or at least on Google. I can't seem to log in under any other name. Ahh...technology. Thought you might like to see a comment or two, you know, just so you know someone is reading. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are taking some creative time for yourself. I find myself so drained after working all day that I can't even enjoy one night of allegedly fun singing. :)
I had thought I had this set up so anyone could view and comment, member or not - guess I need to look at it closer. I do appreciate the effort, though :) I know I get a bit obsessive and raving during these creative binges, which makes for challenging reading sometimes - lol.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well in your world. I have to confess that I do miss the other blogs.
Anyone can read, it's the commenting thing that is weird. You can only comment as a profile name or anonymous. I had set up a company blog last year on here so that is how I can follow you and comment. Rules everywhere!!
ReplyDeleteEh..it's the same in the other world. We miss you over there. :)
