I am Still Alive

So... I must apologise for the lack of postage for the last 8 months. I forgot about my blog every time I was on the computer, and I have had a lot of other things going on. My mind has been incredibly occupied lately.

So what has happened since January? Well, a lot, and not a lot. Christian and I have not done a whole lot of recording, but we have upgraded our one and only song. Progress is very very slow... much too slow for me to be happy with. We are both busy with other things I guess. In April, I performed a show at a small bar with a group of friends. The music was not especially my forte, but it was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up. The show was really exciting, and I got a lot of compliments from the crowd. Unfortunately, I watched the show on YouTube afterward, and I was highly disappointed. I thought it was dreadful. I will not tell you how to find it, because I think it was that bad. But I had a lot of fun doing it, and I knew when I went into it that it wasn't my type of music.

Supposedly, on Friday, Christian and I are going to try to get some more things done.

There is more going through my mind that I wish to write about incognito, but I need to wait until I get my thoughts sorted out. I say "incognito" because most people I know are unaware of this blog, so I can write about things without the danger that certain people will find out about them. Part of me wants a certain person to know what I have to say, but most of me is afraid to tell her for fear that it will be unappreciated.

Anyway, I don't know if anybody even visits this blog anymore, but I hope you do, and I am sorry for my inconsiderate attitude.

New Year, New... News....

A couple days ago, I met with Christian for the first time since October. We didn't meet to record anything, but rather to go over ideas and listen to the song we already recorded. I was rather impressed with how the vocals turned out, although I'm not entirely sure if I am in love with the musical arrangements and how it is mixed. It seems messy in places, and I have been told it doesn't have a very clean sound. I am reluctant to tell Christian of these developments, as I know he labored day and night over it. But, darnitall I demand perfection! (sarcasm... kind of)

As for the other song I was going to work on, I have come up with a decent melody for it, and with the melody the lyrics are materializing. I don't know if I said before, but Christian had already recorded the music to this song, and he had given me a copy to listen to while I tried to figure out a melody and lyrics. For a while I was unable to experience an epiphany on the subject. This was because I had trouble in the lab (my car) with my stereo (it was non-existent). But about a month and a half ago, I was able to install a CD player and the experiments began. I was able to concoct a most delightful formula that I believe will inspire... troglodyte's... all over the world.

I am also helping out Christian's old band with their recorded material by sending it in to my DJ friend who works at a local radio station.

P.S. I hope to eventually put a preview of our song up on here in the near future... eventually... in the near future, one of those.
