How quickly the days are flying, so little seems to be done, but such are social and performance days.
On the 13th, recorded some new harmony vocals for The Arm, recorded at lower pitch to a slowed-down backing track, these give a nicer, and stranger, sound. This was the first recording with the new Rode NT1 (for other re-recordings, I'll use the NT3 as I have with the other vocals, but backing vocals should actually benefit from the slight timbre differences of a different mic). A new phone arrived, but I didn't have time to set it up. I found time top update my art catalogue spreadsheet to include all 1415 artworks.
In the afternoon, a delightful visit to Linda from the old Nantwich art group.
Yesterday dominated by birthday events; a trip to many Sandbach shops, and ending with the first half of Sideways, a quirky 'road movie' I've seen before. The title is poor, it should be called something like 'Love in 50 Vineyards'. We're watching The Box of Delights too, a 1984 series which is being repeated by the BBC. I strongly remember this, and its music in particular, from my childhood and haven't seen it since. Several aspects seem related to things I've made since (the music certainly inspired the music box at the end of The Spiral Staircase), but I expect that most of the narrative elements are a coincidence as The Box of Delights has just about everything fantastical in it, from animal people, to growing/shrinking, time travel, portals, magic and more.
More art filing today! Onwards!
