And November is gone...

Up...

Saturday...

One might argue that, these days, every day is Saturday for me and the Exec Producer...

But I won't...

Pre 6, just...

Scenes - filing, all done, for now...

The shelf - no new CDs this week...

...and tomorrow will be December...

Post breakfast (and post even more downloading of new music - spurred on by this excellent blog post from Whitelabrecs' founder, Harry Towell), to trying to find the leads/plugs which allow me to make a direct recording from my guitar, via distortion and delay, to the hand held recorder...

All searching was in vain and so, this year's "Disquietmusik", the 8th the in the annual series, was necessarily recorded via the small mixing desk...

Anne was out in the garden, doing her equivalent of me making music...

I commenced around 11:30...

...and the eight pieces were done by 12:37...

Then, to treating them...

Loaded onto the hard drive and manipulated, according to "Disquietmusik" Modus Operandi, by 12:50...

Then, to creating the bonus tracks - Reversed done by 13:17, 16 RPM Reversed done by 13:32 and 16 RPM done by 13:34 - again, all in accordance with "Disquietmusik" Modus Operandi...

Total creation time, 2 hours...

Total playing time, 6 hours...

A break for lunch and a new thing, the first two episodes of  "The Man on the Inside" with Ted Danson - we are enjoying this...

Then, Anne was off out to visit her mum and pick up a few provisions for her evening cooking plan...

Me?

It was time to listen back - someone has to do it and it can only really be me...

All through the afternoon...

...during which Queens progressed to the next round of the Scottish Cup, beating Arbroath away from home - a  fixture which will be repeated next Saturday in the league and so, a repeat result would be good...

A break in the listening around 6 for tea...

A top notch dish from Annie - Smoked Salmon Tagliatelle with Shallots, Mushrooms, Asparagus, Yellow Peppers, White Wine and Creme Fraiche, a cheeky wee ciabatta on the side and a refreshing glass of said White Wine...

Yowsah!

Playback continued via the room speaker - Anne is used to this type of music from her Executively Produced Beast...

Headphones reinstated at seven though, with the advent of "Strictly"...

Playback finally ended at 8:05...

Time for a couple of episodes of "Bosch" - top stuff - then, dishes washed, dried and put away...

And then, a third "Bosch", followed by some footie, pre a midnight lights out...

Let's just see those wee calendar cats again...

Aawww...

Highlight of the Day : New Disquietmusik created...
