More work on 'Except For The Hatred' today. I've spent weeks and months on this track over the years! Today, I've re-recorded one small vocal part to make it fit better, and tweaked the reverb a bit. In recnet days, most of the work and attention has been on 'Fingers Of Evil' and 'Cherries', although the changes have generally been slight balancing issues rather than anything substantial.
I started work on Nov 20th and today I think the first draft is complete. It's probably taken 2 weeks longer than it should due to my ear problems, and other disruptions.
Everything is difficult at the moment, with little feeling of progress of success on any front. I'm making better things than ever, can sing and play, and paint, better than ever, but there is always more progress to be made and I'm keen to practice performance skills yet more. Software updates have reached something of a peak in that almost everything I've made with commercial potential is on sale (although older games like Bool and Firefly, or even Arcangel, are not on sale). I must balance long term legacy projects with what is new and exciting. I have so much to do, so much fire to do, and must do as much as I can while I can, and while my skills are hot.
Eleven days of the year remain.
Onwards we must charge, pushing our rock harder, faster, with more joy.
