wow had a pleasing realisation – my latest spell of horizontal incarceration has led to me nearly completing the mixing of 3-5 trax of the album!

Plan it (expanding Jupiter visit) has been greatly enriched by Andy Hodson live drummer-ing – some lovely freeform storm building intro stuff going on; strings in sense ability are starting to sit nicely; Mary Rose (the shipwreck story featuring Emma Welsby on marimba and Daniel Weaver on saws is swirling suitably moodily; and even got right into the remix of Beccy Owen’s gloriously fragile The Deeps , now hopefully awaiting some string input..look forward to another visit to Gracieland for the vintage outboard polishing touches to the mixes.

Then it’s on to the few that are mainly in my heart/head!

Deciding focus on getting product/music done first, then deal with the all extra job of promotion and packaging. Can’t help brewing ideas for managing to pull off a delux launch event tho, featuring ALL the wonderful musicians on the recordings. I know it’s cinders talk but i may just do it..

Right back to the sound pieces for Kate Bradnam’s Journey Contact show.

Here’s a taste of performer extraordinaire who will be performing at above said/wished do:
