Failure

I didn’t record an album in February.

I wrote a couple of songs complete, and good portions of half a dozen more, but it’s nowhere near 35 minutes of music. I’m not actually bothered by it - as I said in my last entry, there’s a big difference between writing material, and writing good material, and I’d rather have limited high quality output than prolific bilge. I got more writing done that I would have otherwise, so it’s all for the good!

Success

One of the things that side-tracked me over the last month was interviewing for, getting, and preparing for a new job. I can actually put “Audio Engineer” as my job description now - at least for the next twelve months. I’m very excited, and keen to get started, but I’ll admit to not a small amount of trepidation as well. I didn’t misrepresent myself in any way in either my application or my interview, but I’m still not 100% sure why they hired me. Must be my magnetic personality… Honestly, I have no qualms about my ability to do the job, but there will be a bit of a learning curve.

We had a T3E meeting today - it’s been too long - and we are building new material at a pretty good rate! There’s also been some talk about stepping up the live performance regime, which I’m pretty excited about. I’m about to retire gracefully from the world of cover music, so I’m looking forward to devoting some performance energy to material that I actually care about.

Oh, speaking of live T3E, I posted up some live clips at youtube from our December gig at the Republic.
