Coming Soon: One 24" Red Helium Balloon
Saturday, February 11, 2006
Updates have slowed for one simple reason. On January I-don't-want-to-remember-the-date I went back to work full time leaving chunks less time for music. We've kept plodding along though, and quicker than my last incident of full-timedness too. That said though, there is no photo for this post, and no samples. We demo'd 2 new songs last Wednesday night - Small Pulses and Sixteen Cranes - but I've decided not to give even a hint. They are simply not ready yet. When the album is finished I'll have some demo's available - the most exciting one being the demo of Uncommon Dream.
The other night was the first time in a long time that Vanessa and I have sat in a room and worked on something new from scratch, together. We used to write like that all the time. Or I'd write by myself. (As you should be aware) most of Hollows has come about by me recording music and the 2 of us slamming words and melody into it until it fits. It's a speedy way to work, but feels less like composing. I won't go into all the gory details of Small Pulses and Sixteen Cranes. I will wait until they are finished.
Have you seen the Badger thing yet?
We have a photo shoot tomorrow. I'm anticipating a lot of fun will be had with the Estey organ, 4 square mirrors, swimming pool and a 24" red helium balloon. And if you're reading this, it's okay to leave a comment, really it is; I don't write this entirely for myself.
