The Flatspace Soundtrack remaster is complete, so this was filed today and the sheet music prepared for release in future. This, plus the regular Windows update, website updated and the music catalogue update completed the morning.
Then work on the new album, still untitled. I'm still unhappy with aspects of the structural integrity, though it's now more unified with the theme of the 'Fear is Everywhere' rhythm, which was already present in the largely improvised intro. There are 6 or 7 songs in the first half, but this feels like too many, the songs too short somehow. I will persist.
Most of today was working on one of these songs called 'The Tainted Pain'. It's fast and punk-like, the intro inspired by 70s Krautrock, the pace a contrast to the soul-searching lyrics. It breaks into a 3/4 blues solo which echoes Happiness is a Warm Gun, an extraordinary song which would be rare today due to the difficultly in wild tempo and mood shifts within one song; this is harder in most digital environments, hard to rein in control, but this is easy in Prometheus.
My focus will be on this for a few days. I want to complete this album! I'm unhappy with every part of it, but that's common when I'm working on any artwork these days, and not necessarily a bad sign. I must work, fight, struggle, battle!
Onwards.
