Woe Is Thee

it feels good to create again. i've been working on some music for an album lately, which is good for me, and i'm excited to see it starting to take shape. i'm going almost 100% electronic, by necessity only, since it's way too much work [and expense] to buy, mic and record drums and other various instruments. the acoustic guitar and voice will be the only 'played' instruments, but i can assure you that in no way decreases the amount of time, patience and ability it takes to complete a track. i just spent about 2 hours getting the fake drum kit to sound a bit more natural and setting up sort of a template to use for the tracks.

anyway, video-wise, things are doing okay. i made this today, which i'm quite proud of and happy about, especially considering the whole filming and editing process took less than an hour, with the exception of rendering the final product, which i had to do twice because i made a few mistakes. i'm getting better at doing this stuff quickly, which is good because if i start working full time sooner than later [which is both the plan and the hope], i won't have as much time to devote to videos. that's okay though, since youtube is still just a hobby.

tonight i had work, which was just fine. quite boring, it was a slow day, but all in all it was just a bit of money in the end. that's the important thing: steady and reliable income. maybe when i've finally finished this album with my lovely wife, i can promote it a bit better and make a bit off of that. i've got a couple higher profile internet musicians interested in collaborating, so who knows what could happen. that's sort of a dream of mine and christin's: being professional musicians. she's got the voice, i've got the chops. i say why not make it happen, at least in our spare time.
