Today, working on the Christmas Tails cover. Photographing the plain artwork, then working on the digital version. It's a similar look and idea to last time, but the colours here have a a green rather than blue base, so the letters have more blue. Here is a comparison between the first album and the draft-in-progress of the new album:
Then, work transcribing the sheet music for my song, 'Will You Be My Snowflake'. The song is fine and fun, but I wrote it two years ago, and it's not pushing any limits, not showcasing any brilliance, and it can't really be said to be like my music except that it's wild, unpredictable, and utterly different. I may even write another, but my musical priority is working on the Fall in Green track. I've played a few improvised chords and will use that MIDI sequence as my basis for that. This, at least, will be an unusual and expressive Christmas song.
Much of this month has been spent on woodwork. I'd hoped to remaster two or perhaps three albums. In the end, I managed just Tree Of Keys, but that at least was certainly improved.
After the Fall in Green track I must remaster The Modern Game, as it will soon be taken down. A few days ago I sold the first ever copies of The Modern Game book and Deep Dark Light.
Onwards we roll our heavy boulder.
