The first step is always the hardest one. Yesterday I took my guitar, turned all my musical software and devices on, and finally started working on the new material. First fragments have been sketched. Even though most of the new songs are based on acoustic guitar I feel like experimenting with electronic elements, bringing Deexs closer to deeper and darker waters. No, it doesn't have to be necessarily as depressive as the last record. My idea deals more with exploring the outer world, the unknown, as well as inner sides of the human soul. Does it sound too sublime? I think lately I have been watching too many BBC documentaries about our place in space and the limits of human beings. That's why.
Anyway, I don't expect it to be a short process. My plan is to finish everything by the end of this year but as I know myself, and I don't want to put myself under any pressure, it can easily be even in 2013. Does it really matter? No. I'm doing it all just for fun. Somebody practices yoga, somebody smokes weed, I make music. It helps me to clear my mind and get through all sorts of harsh times.
Expect some new updates on the recording (hopefully) soon.
In the meantime watch some of Hayao Miyazaki's movies. The guy is an accomplished artist ... and so is his composer, Joe Hisaishi.
