Break

Taking a break from Patch for a week and a half. Making homemade Christmas presents in its stead.

Until then, Merry Christmas!

Typosgraphy: Day 1

Revisiting an old friend. Basically going to put some icing on a year and a half old cake.

LCD (Lips Condemned and Dumb)

The easiest material from which to draw inspiration is that which is closest to you.

Common visits of mind numbing blinders
Pulled over my eyes and ears
I always sensed his ultimate betrayal
Providing him the opportunity to correct his faults
You try to change fate
Yet you’re always left to chance
Predetermined by the metaphysical laws of learning
Karmath

What one can and cannot say in teaching
Advice goes unhinged
Like stray invisible light waves
We fight to answer the questions for others who never bother to ask
Or are afraid to
Even when it means life or death

The laws of Karmath go unbroken

It’s not betrayal if you knew it was coming all along
It was predetermined logic
Betrayal would have been a broken Karmathian law
Impossible to obtain
The lowest common denomination of life – laws of living.

What goes up must come down
No one is created equal, despite our claims for the opposite
A guiding hand is only felt by those who ask for one

When Cold Was Warmth

The closest thing to a Peter Kean Christmas song . . . about my '08 mantras.

Another static statement -- ignorance is the key player in this one:

LCD: Done

Just finished laying down all the tracks (not even a minute ago). The last little bit dealt with me searching around the house for an adequate box to fill up with magnet balls for one tiny sign-off piece of percussion to close the track. Minor detail for the listener, an absolute NEED for the obsessive recorder.

Tomorrow I'll touch-up a few things here and there. Then I'll put her off to the side as I finish up the next three songs. After that: the dreaded Sonar conversion, and I'll high-tail it over to Schuyler.

I'll put a snippet up this weekend.

Good and Bad News

Bad News: LCD . . . couple more days. Personal health issues kept me away from the editing tools. Made for a bit of a depression.

Good News: Came up with a pre-official logo for the band. A quasi-advertisement scheme for the first demo disc.

LCD: Almost . . . There . . .

This weekend will it be finished? Sunday night? Fingers crossed I have the stamina to pull it off . . .

LCD: Lost Count

Can't remember what the session count is. But, nontheless, progress is being made. I'm in the second movement of the song. Some revisions are most definitely going to be made . . . but for now I'm enjoying the different pace of the new section. I'm finally becoming settled with certain effects presets. Presets I'd use in different songs. So recording might be quicker in the coming weeks.

Looking at a mid-January rough mix done date right now. Didn't meet my New Years resolution. But se la vi.
