Due to unforeseen financial issues, there will not likely be another recording session for two weeks yet. Amanda was in session with me last time, and can attest to what was accomplished.
The accomplishments, however, lend themselves to a new set of problems to solve. Such as the long-overdue hiring of a guitarist and either a keyboardist or drummer (on an e-kit). This presents even more challenges as I no longer have a regular rehearsal space in which to practice. And, living all the way the fuck up here in Alpharetta with the current fuel issues doesn’t help, either.
But, I’m not worrying about that right now. I’m not Trent Reznor finishing up an album and preparing a band for touring. Thinking logically, I can get away without additional band members for a while longer as I work on this record.
Also, there is some new material on the docket for the album. Originally, I sat down and wrote a list of 6 songs to go on what was originally planned to be an EP. But, after some work in the studio, I think that it’s going to be bigger than that. I shy away from such terms as “epic” because I cannot be so sure that it will be.
Also, I’ve been trying to remain optimistic despite the hourly rate I’m getting for studio time. I want to finish it as quickly as I can, but the pace is hindered by finances. I’m about to go back to school, and that’s going to eat up all my free time. I know that education is important, and that I need to be making more than I am now. At the same time, I don’t want to have to wait another year to do this album. The economy is a fucking mess right now, and I want to do it while I can.
Thanks for reading (whoever might be)
