worked on a new song today- one that i had originally some serious sludge metal guitars for, and some other vocals that i did- more like a kind of gutteral whispering- was'nt really happy with the guitar on the track so i recut both guitar tracks and eventually just threw out the vocal and tried to lay down a new one, this after three takes and three differing alterations in lyrics led me to a basic mixdown fest where i just pretty much decided that the vocals were'nt strong enough enough-although i have the overly simplistic drum beat- a mere boom bap that continues on repetitively./ i mean there WAS some kind of songwriting process invovled but for the most part i was pretty loose with song-structure, trying to avoid thinking to heavy on melody or harmony and more on elements of rythymn, keeping as i said the drums very basic for sheer reasons of some kind of artistic statement- like fuck off! i don't care if u want happy hardcore drum beats this is a damn rant song-listen to the lyrics lol. Either way i am diggin on the uberminimilizm of the song, not that i did'nt work on it-it took close to 4 hours to lay out correctly, so pretty much. I've definately been practicing editing with my limited software-sonic garbled lo-fi mess and all that. its not to muc i suppose to just mix what i got, but i have to be really particular to get all the instruments to come out clear and seperate from the others.
Otberwise i called in for work to be on call and hopefully i'll get some cuz i need to do some work on my car and buy a little bit more food-as well as
pay the $20 to go to the doc on thursday- but i'm pretty sure it'll happen. I got a good supply of staples for food pretty much, and abeit the whole profundaty of the situation i am relatively content compared for a usual. Its all just a matter of keeping on keeping on i suppose-and letting the destruction follow my wake? maybe? i dunno.
still kinda stretching out my routine of cleaning a bit. also trying to figure out the deal with my website aie updating my poetry section and the like, can't seem to figure out the hyperlinks and shit...meh. Otherwise i feel pretty good today, taking it all in the best i can and trying to make my diet work for teh most part.
