Hello little blog. I haven’t gotten off to such a great start with you. It has been a while since I have spoken to you. But, you have definitely been in my thoughts. It is weird I am looking back at my last blog entry and how enthusiastic I was about finishing my album. Well, all that has changed. Although, I am still enthusiastic about it, listening back to everything I realized that I was not happy with the way that things are going with the mixing. I have worked on this project for over a year now and it has definitely become my baby (or spawn of satan …one or the other;)
Part of the problem has been my inexperience with the whole production process. I have been teaching myself along the way and I have learned sooooo much. But, some of the stuff that I recorded (particularly in the earlier stages) wasn’t optimal. I am however, really proud that I have been able to take it this far. This imperfect production has made mixing a chore. Especially, when I feel that the mixing has taken a direction that I hadn’t intended. I want to be back to where I was when I was recording and I was really loving what was coming out. I want to get back to all of that inspiration.
So, I came up with what I think is a good idea. I am going to take a few weeks off to do a bit of soul searching. I have decided to do at least one thing a week (or more) that truly insipres me. Perhaps, I won’t have to do anything. Perhaps, it might come to me randomly. Maybe, i’ll take a few pictures or videos to document. Either way I am going to tell you all about it, my little blog. Then I will come back to my album fresh and shiny new! And I am going to try and not neglect you in the future! Thank-you for being understanding sweet babushka!
