More musicking....

Mostly working on music (and computers) again today....

I e-mailed MP3s of tracks from the various scheduled new releases on Crispycat to Craig Sutherland, co-Creek member and my Webmeister, for comments and suggestions....

I spent quite a bit of time sorting computer problems (as best I can) as the system was running incredibly slowly and kept kicking me out of Hotmail....

The Crispycat website had to be moved to a new (and, according to Craig, better) server, as our host company has been hacked by some Turkish extremists who have replaced many website pages stored on the Company's server with propoganda slogans. Don't know if they were in Turkish...

Crispycat wasn't hit but Craig's site was, so better safe than sorry...

In the evening, after having listened back to the CD of yesterday's "Triple Mix" of "Deeperdown" during the day, I realised some of the songs are a lot louder than others, so spent some time working on sorting this...even though these versions will never be released...

I also spent some time transferring various basic and not-so-basic backing tracks for "Deeperdown" onto the hard drive in preparation for working on these and adding to them....

Finally I created an 11 minute mix of the loops for the four latest soundscape pieces, and this (or something like this) will form the basis of the Soundscapes EP which is in the release schedule...

So two days in a row spent on music - and still no singing or playing any instruments....

Where would we be without computers?

Other than that, "Jack Dee at the Apollo" was on the agenda tonight - becoming a Monday night staple - and of course the highlights of the Scottish Premier League football from Saturday and Sunday...

Hearts lost their 100% record on Sunday in a 2-2 draw with newly promoted Falkirk. They were down 2-0 and had had their goalkeeper sent off, so coming back to get a draw was a good result...

It's results like these that Rangers and Celtic usually get and it's results like these that keep teams at the top of the league. The next game is against Celtic, now their closest challengers - however, as long as Hearts don't lose by three goals, they'll remain in pole position...
