A sleepless, irrationally panicky night led to something of a power day. I just about managed to record the entire album of vocals this morning, new vocals and harmony vocals for every track, and all instantly better than in 2021.
I feel the need to keep trying on 'We Shall See' though, the high range combined with gentleness makes this a challenge. For all of Freddie Mercury's power vocals, I still think that his best vocal performance was on Nevermore from Queen II. This song is a similar range and style. My takes so far are all instantly better than the 2021 version, but not close to Nevermore quality, if I could ever aspire to such brilliance.
Having done so much in the morning I felt less motivated to charge on with vocal processing and including them in the songs, but I've made a start there, with two songs done, and the two instrumentals mixed too. Perhaps I can finish this tomorrow, then charge into the sheet music and videos. The Modern Game had sheet music but that needed new album artwork; this certainly doesn't, all good.
My anxiety is perhaps not doing enough new art. I need expression and challenges. I must, therefore, charge though this towards a light of clear roadways. Last night I listened to Music Of Poetic Objects. A nice album that also really needs sheet music because it's largely classical and demands to be performed by others. Without the music, that would be impossible (or at least improbable).
