In less ranty news!
*takes deep breath*
Okay, haha! In other news...What has Tanith been doing?
MUSIC!!!!!! ALL OF THE MUSIC!!! LOSING MONEY TO MUSIC!!!
Now that University is out, I have to keep my mind on "intellectual"/"artistic" pursuits; lest my brain turn to goo!
A Void in Coma played on the 20th of July, I came back to reading two weeks beforehand.
Though I will say, carrying all of my effects pedals and guitar back and forth between Swerve's house in the searing! burning! SUN! Was not so good. The night of the gig went incredibly well though, especially considering that Swerve and I hadn't practiced together for 9 months and Gretchen only had 2 weeks to write and learn the bass parts to our new song. This particular song I had sat down, locked myself in my room and spent 3 days completely rewriting before I came back to Reading!!! So the efforts definitely paid off. All of the free demos we made went to homes....even though we could only afford to make 20. Haha! I can't even express how incredibly poor I am right now, but it just goes to show how determination and tenacity can earn fruits now matter how poor you are!!!
Plus, I got to use the words, "A primal obsession with the cosmos.." on the art work for the demo, haha!
There are also projects and magical things underway. Nyogtha shall be recording our new album in mid-August...making this our 4th release in the 6 years we've been going. Just need to finalise all the niggly bits and bobs. If I put in the work...I can get a new logo (Edward is insisting on a new logo because he's starting to hate our old one), art work and lyrics done before its release. I think this one will be getting pressed...so...we'll ACTUALLY! have a proper CD!
I've also been writing beats! For a Trip-Hop/Dub/Doom/Noise project with Simon and Edward. That drum machine was a pain in the arse to learn how to use. But...after many hours and a lot of coffee. I worked it out! I've never done this before so it might be complete shit. But, I want to call it, "Your Father Built His Empire Upon My Mother's Body". I'll be basing it around a more political theme than I usually go for; about the idea of the colonised mind and the brutality of colonialism and how to an extent, I believe that colonialism still exists in attitudes towards Race and Gender. OOOOHHH!
So, lots of work for Tanith. Even if it is technically frivolous and not actually work...but...whatever!
