The next album and EP or whatever are still coming. Really, they are...but I am taking it slow with these. I am trying to deliver something better than ten terse badly mastered tracks for novelty's sake. One will be the next focused release and one will be a collection of stuff that was left behind. Bonus tracks...
I find my work splitting into two groups. In the first group is the song oriented stuff. The stuff that is mildly accessible. The second group is basically all of the stuff I do not plan on performing live mostly because of the lack of live (life) input. Stuff that would work if I felt like being a boring guy on a laptop with no performance skill. The first group I want to be on my releases. The second group, I would like to give the respect it deserves from me....but I just dont know what to do with it as of yet.
I have been spending a considerable amount of time sorting through material that was shelved a few years back due to lack of interest or identity crises. This has curbed some of the progress I have been making with my current musical activities (vocals) and has proved to be cumbersome and outright infuriating. Some of it is rewarding though. Some of it should have seen the light of day miles back. I will just chalk it up to not being "the right time."
Most of it sounds disorganized and muddy from a mixing and mastering perspective. Since I have a few years more experience than I did when alot of the music was written or recorded, I have been fixing ALOT of mistakes I made back then.
There have been a few things that have stood in the way. I have a Digidesign Audiomedia III which does not work in, basically, any PC. (alot of my recording used this.) I FINALLY sorted out firewire issues on my PC. (If you need firewire on PC, shell out for a PCI card with a TI chipset. All others will be semi-functional.) I recently suffered the death of a laptop which was equal parts sketchpad, studio, and live rig. It has been replaced with an desktop system which will travel out to shows with me. I see a rack case in my future.
I will also begin the moving process in a week or so...and that is always stressfull. Even if it is just a move across town. Among other things, just living life. This year has been better than the last.
Sigh. Time flies.
Thank you for your attention.
