Mixing for England

No, I don`t mean baking a cake! I`m just finishing off my EP at the moment. It has been very time consuming and I have become somewhat of hermit of late, hopefully my family haven`t thought I`ve disappeared of the face of the Earth!

That`s the only issue with making music, as much as it`s enjoyable and creative it`s very insular and the days just seem to fly by when I`m in the studio, feel like it`s just me and the machine.On the other hand it`s so addictive and it is really exciting when you start creating something nice and start to hear what could sound like a decent piece of music! I just need to keep going, hopefully it will all be worthwhile in the end, it was one of my goals to release my own material so just got to keep on that treadmill, I`ll then give myself some time off, perhaps socialize or even try and meet a nice lady. I feel like giving up sometimes, yet there is something inside just about keeping the flame alight.

On the subject of mixing, I have been getting into cooking alot lately and will have to get round to buying a table so I can finally do a bit of entertaining and actually unleash my culinary skills on someone! I find it really enjoyable and there is nothing like a good quality cooked meal with a nice glass of wine or two to wash it down. Downloaded a really neat iphone app from Mr Oliver which has proved to be rather nifty, shopping lists have never been such fun!

I`ve started watching some films again as I`m really behind lately. I used to be a film buff, being in the creative field I have utmost respect and admiration for the big screen and all it`s organs. Often thought about venturing into the world of thespianism or something in that vein. I had the pleasure of watching the new Quentin Tarantino flick `Inglorious basterds` the other night. I`m a fan of his movies and like his style. I will give a full diagnosis of what I thought about it in my next post. Ranns reviews!

I`ve also got a rather large pile of reading material just waiting to be visually and mentally consumed, perhaps I`ll review those if I ever get round to finishing them. There just doesn`t seem to be enough time in this world, not even on my planet!
