Diary Album 2008-09 page number one

Nov 2nd: Remixing Wasps is kinda fun. Yeah so it's going to be detox day soon, 3 weeks on just powder and supliments, yumo's, i'm lookin forward to that, for that whole feeling of not being pulled down by your body. Starting the album bit by bit, recorded some demo's and continuing to lay down these demo ideas. It's interesting to see whats going to come, since the last time I composed, I've been through alot of travels, met a lot of new people, and kinda entered a different stage of daily motivation. Placing more emphasis on perception and what is what, has been at times, very difficult to live along side, but once the sounds come flying, i think all that, and more, will be something quite unique to look back at.

Very into leaving huge breaks between composition periods. quite often its around 6 to 9 months. I'd like to make it much smaller next time, but hey, what do i know, maybe its very beneficial to have large gaps in between sound projects. They sound and act differently, and are all motivated by different principles. So yeah, guess i can say that's a positive thingy. I'm hanging out to create a large body of tracks, that present a larger space of imagination, rather then just moments or sudden glimpses of this other environment. I guess, i just cant' wait to get into it, but the door's i'm looking at opening right now, are all kinda blurred and full of metaphoric alternatives that can be off putting. I might just need to grab a bull dozer and take down a whole wall to enter this realm. Force, nah, a surprise, surprise myself? yeah that sounds keen. I'll do that. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! a bee..................................

Oct 30th: Spent the day mixing some trackies for buddies, doing biz stuff, and mastering all the fluffy rabbit remix comp winners, which was fun! i really enjoyed hearing them in the main studio, in the back on the couch, with the subs pouring on in.

Sitting at home now, kinda got that stress bug happening in my tummy, which is just annoying, i'll go sit outside on the balcony instead, that usually gets rid of it. I NEED to start this Album, just a start. I seem to always keep anything i create and release it. For that reason, because the album is so important to me, i'm kinda having a way to hard of a time starting. I need to like trick myself. Just get myself doing something. You know i haven't made a single beat or anything since a few live recordings on the floor (beard clip sound) and then before that, overseas in San Fran with my mate Mark, doing up the fluffy rabbits original. I always have such long periods between projects. It's like i'm waiting to change, or section of moments in life, so that each project kinda goes in its own direction, allows me to truly experiment. Once it finally starts again, i'm usually away and its so so fast. Because i know this about myself, i've improved my home set up a bit, which should aid with pulling in a larger contrast of great hi fi and lo fi sounds. Oh and guess what, I'm going to have the drummer from Mr Bungle on my record, so so so cool, he's visiting my studio in January for a full day of drum tracking, so i'll have heaps of ideas ready for him then, free chart based blasts, and some already worked out tracks i know i shall have by then, anyway, back to trying to start hehe. Laugh Laugh Laugh, it's my savour.

Oct 29th: Yeah ok, so now i've actually started this one hehe, my golly gosh, kinda feel very excited, and also very under stimulated, i think that's normal before actually being inside the flux of it all, so much thinking, and not enough doing, i begin album now...... I'm pretty sure i've worked out what i'm doing, without knowing what i'm doing, but it feels like the right time now, very much so. So all that is left is actually doing it. Well no more damn excuses, i'll go and do it now.

Sep 6th: lovely feeling when you work stuff out in your head, from both a business point of view and a creative point of view. I shall be creating my Box concept album as a stand alone art piece, with 50 visual boxes to be produced, of which 10 will be sent to art galleries. Others will be sold slowly and gently. This means I'm free to make an Album for Tidy Kid, in a reasonable free kinda way. I shall book in some time to begin tracks, of which I will keep some thoughts and ideas about how they will work live. I'm still working of concept sheets with my draw the line style of thinking, but I'll let the creative element flow a bit more naturally, whilst the box project can grow bit by bit. Need to do some push ups....

September 1st to 5th: Sorry forgot to type here.....

A week pre diary start : Just watching the closing ceremony of the Olympic games and have been back from overseas travels for about a week now. Fantastic trip! Fantastic? why do you use such a word, ahhh cause i'm cutting to the chase man, oh ok. Just preparing all my concept sheets and field recordings that i have been working on during my travels through Europe and the states. I'm getting that feeling I always get before starting a new project, the one where your just gaining confidence that it's going to sound great, and now your just waiting to hear what that will be. Can't wait can't wait! jumping up and down as i decided that this movement is actually very good for healthy and endurance. Ahhh back to the Olympics, the commercial is over, un mute TV. P. S. I choose remix's tomorrow, so cool! Around 90 remixes were sent in, that really kinda shocked me, me likes and, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh another beeeee!......
