status update friday 13 october 2006
wow, it's been a while since i've updated here. i've been so busy with my real life that i've neglected my music side. yes, that means i haven't been making music either. i finished my post_piano remix project and sent a copy to kenneth kirschner, but now i'm unhappy with the results and want to go back to the project, start over. at the same time, i have original songs i've been flirting with, putting in some time on the mac to build them, and i'd like to complete them at some point. i have this three-song odyssey started, with three rhythms that flow into each other. it'll be interesting to see if i can make it work. i like the first one, though it still needs work, and of course arrangement.
at my day job i listen to podcasts. i'm subscribed to a mix of news, financial advice, music-related interviews, and mixes centered around indie rock, latin music, or dance/trance/house jams. the big one, trance tuesday, is three hours of trance tracks mixed by some crew of ca djs. though it's repetitive, it keeps me focused on work. the talking podcasts require some attention, and sometimes distract me from what i should be doing. or what i should be doing distracts me from them and i miss stuff. it's really the dance music that works best. plus, it's fun. give me a good beat and i can fly.
