A full day yesterday, with an early start for the Good Vibrations event. The Microkorg is a great instrument for this, working well as either an organ or a bass in a sea of guitars. After that, wandering around many shops, seeking and collecting Christmas presents. Money is short. I found a terrible CD collection in a charity shop, saxophone love songs, but their great merit is that this 3 CD set unusually came in CD Single cases, so I used these for the Kate Bush CD single King of the Mountain (which originally came in cardboard) and another CD of waltzes. I printed off more CD art for my classical music. Of my music collection, I have about 200 pop/rock CDs and about 100 classical albums - though maybe 150 CDs; complete symphony cycles can take up many discs!
Today began with printing the last of this art, the track listings and artwork for the two Wagner operas I have, then a tiny update to Prometheus. Then, adding the new vocals to the climax of 'The Trees', and making more tweaks to The Modern Game 4 mix. The changes are fewer with each listen.
Then more work on the videos. 'The Trees', 'House of Glass', and 'Love in a Hopeless World' don't have lyric overlays yet. The 'Masculinity Two' video has some white screens, so I need to mask the letters to make them visible. Making the lyrics is a tedious matter of photoshopping each line of text, making lots of single images. With a mask that's 2 images per line, so 42 images for 'Masculinity Two', for example.
Most of this is done. I've broken up the album as it is into tracks, so I'm now ready to charge into making music videos proper for the entire album.
