Frustration and rewards...

Playlist
Ian Hunter – All American Alien Boy
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Soundingfall
Tangerine Dream – Cologne 25/11/72 Pt 1
Mercury Rev- Snowflake Midnight
Mercury Rev – Strange Attractor
Loose Change Trio – Unstruck Note
Mott the Hoople – The Anthology
Leonard Cohen – New Skin for the Old Ceremony

Started the day with another remix of “We Drove” whilst ripping new CDs to the external hard drive and downloading the companion Mercury Rev album...



Tried to recreate the painterly effects I did on Friday's pics but to no avail - damn it why don't I take notes?

I will persevere...

Spent almost the whole day working on “We Drove” and “The Fire in the Clearing” with much remixing of the former and moving around of snippets of recordings on the latter...



I also re-recorded various vocals on both tracks...

Anne went over to Fife to watch the Hibs v Hearts cup tie on TV and was, of course, delighted that Hearts won 2-0...

The fortnightly family tea went without event then, back home, I continued to work on the two songs, finishing in time to watch highlights of the Hearts game and “Match of the Day 2”...

An, at times, frustrating but, ultimately, rewarding day...

Highlight of the Day : The new versions of two new songs...
