Right then...I've begun the 3rd album (the follow-up to 'Speak For Yourself'). I'm going to write a more frequent blog as I did with the last one so you can keep an eye on me and make sure I'm not slacking! I wonder how it's gonna turn out? How exciting! You're very welcome to comment but please don't ask me questions on here or i'll never get any work done. You can email me with any questions you have and every month we'll pick 20 from the virtual 'hat' and post them. Send your questions to: [email protected]

Much much more to come! Love, fluv x i x Wheeeeee!!!

drum roll



Hello...

This is that little 9 second bit of jittery phone video footage of Richie playing along to "closing in". You can't see from this crappy video but there were three mics into three seperate compressors before going int Pro-tools...the combined of all of those were then sent into the Pod XT for a bit of live action knob twiddling. What you'll hear is Richie just as he went in. Thanks darling! (i love watching him play!)

Richie.mov

it's about meg in size...

I know it's just a silly thing but putting this little movie into Pro-tools got me quite excited...makes me want to get a little video camera now... more gadgets!

I brought a CD home today of Closing In to listen to it in another environment. Something about having it on a CD that even though it's not done yet forces you to be purely a listener...zoom out. Easy to get sidetracked when listening in the studio. I usually end up fiddling with something again and forgetting the bigger picture. I need to sing the final chorus now I know where it ends up...in a pile of cellos and not much else. It's a real journey of a song. Those carpet tubes are quite a feature in the first verse. They kinda sound like a pulsating 20 foot giant rubber band being twanged...which is exactly what I'd intended of course!

I've decided to cook a BIG FAT English fry up tomorrow to celebrate...a bit prematurely...the back of another song. I totally know what to do now in order to wrap it up. This is where we sail through to the end...Well at least to it's pre final touches stage which I'm going to do along with the others when i think i have all 11 of them...

COOL!

Love to you all! Have a wonderful weekend. I may not sign in tomorrow...speak soon though.

Hugs

p.s. someone wrote in today to ask what I'm into listening to coz they're in desperate need of some good new music and figured I may know some. So I'm going to stick a page up on the new website with this info (when it's ready) and update it every month or so. I need to do a bit of research myself. I've spent so long hermiting in the studio I haven't had much time to seek out new music. Dying to buy the new Avril and Cursor Miner CD...gonna get them tomorrow.

Hi Imogen! You will never remember perhaps but my name is Gene and am from houston...I went to both of your shows last year in Austin texas as was blown away of course!
The reason why I am writing is to let you know my pals all the way from Dallas area are in your beautiful city and they would love to have you check them out...a dream actually of theirs...They were recently signed to the Cocteau Twins founder's new label: Bella Union.

They are called MIDLAKE and you can find out about them here:
www.midlake.net

Here is their schedule if you can find time in your enormously busy schedule:

6/21 London at Barfly
6/22 Birmingham at Academy
6/23 Liverpool at Academy

Picture Radiohead and the Beatles having an electronic baby and it's name is MIDLAKE...and they would love to meet you and have you hear what they do best! (*oh and give my pal mckenzie a hard time seeing that he looks just like Frodo Baggins as seen here: http://www.panhandlehouse.com/video/midlake/music_video_midlake.htm he is the one in the black and white picture...haha)
;)

Love that you are working on a new solo cd...i have been a fan since your first and tell everyone i know about your work/art!

Take care and thank you for having this journal to keep my days happy and excited about the future!
Your friend in Texas
Gene Wells

here is a pic of me to maybe refresh your memory:
