Where are the days?

::: Recording diary - entry #3 :::

It's so exhausting. Where are the days when I was able to lock myself in the basement and work on music for days in a row? With the upcoming February I have become increasingly aware of how it's almost impossible to devote myself to music when I have to slave 8 hours a day + spend some time with keeping myself in shape + meet my friends ... and so day after day, week after week ... year after year ... is gone. In April it will be 5 years since we released Bitter Tomorrows. 5 years! I can hardly believe it! I think if I ever make a little more complex recording again, it will be about time and its relativity ... and how living in a concrete jungle can crush a man. But that is a topic for another time.

In the last days I honed a couple of already almost-finished songs and also I threw myself on the ukulele recording, at last! Soon I should be done with live instruments, ready to focus only on midi matters and on the final sound of the new record. It's the hardest work actually ... but I enjoy it the most and that's important!
