alrighty my petals?
It's a little unnerving knowing you and others are reading this...i suppose i'll get used to it! I do feel a bit bad for all these years of record making (well... 8) and i've never really said hi to any of you like this before. So A BIG OLD HELLO!!!! and a humongous THANKYOU! that you're still here! I know i know I take AGES to make a record...but boy...I'm not going to start putting out half baked stuff now..so it is going to be a little while yet. Just so you guys can get an idea...I've got seven songs that are written and fleshed out pretty good so far. I'm expecting to spend at least two or three days on each sprinkling magic dust over them to bring them up nice and shiny. Make sure there's no "that'll do" moments....we'll have none of that please! So that leaves...i think four. One of those is MISI and the other just needs some of those dreaded lyrics...I'm hoping...not to put any pressure on myself or anything..but..hmm...two weeks for 8 and 9? Then I have another...half lyrics done, musical ideas pretty much there, called "closing in" which was one of my first ideas toward the album. Kind of forgot about it. Then it came up on my ipod (on random) when i was cycling home one day and just for a second i was thinking..."who's this? this is cool"...ha ha...twas me... and i'm guessing like another couple of weeks on that one...Then maybe spend a weekend listening to what I've got and trying to feel what missing. That's how shh came about you know and that is probably my favourite choon on the frou frou album so i'm quite excited to see what comes of the mysterious final piece of the jigsaw...hmmm...So there you go...that makes eleven. Coz it's one more than 10...and i'm into that...
and that's about where I am...
Just incase you were getting itchy to know!
A certain James...webmeister has told me that a load of you guys on the frou frou message board are talking about Temposhark. I'm glad you like it. Rob's been a fan for a long time and over the last couple of years we've become friends. He came over to my studio for a day with Luke (also a friend) the other half of the band and I made loads of warbling noises and a couple of days later they sent me the tune with me on it...and i have to say...i really like it! Nice one guys...I'm keeping an eye on you!
Today more ivory noodling and splicing of waveforms for MISI...
I know I said that all the music for MISI was going to be piano in various shapes and forms but...I have just realised today that another musical idea I was playing with a while back is strangely made for this sing by complete accident so I may have to marry them together...
tra la la...
I'm orf now.
love and all the good stuff x
