what is going on in your musical life

Yeah it’s a great band name

All I’m doing these days is “new set, new songs”. Was distracted for three weeks in rebuilding my rig to make it multi-channel. It was a productive dead end. Solved the problem and realized I didn’t like the results as much. Tore it up and went back to stereo

Interesting! I'm in the final stages of obsessive mixing for this drums-only record I'm working on (a collaboration with my main early drum teacher, which is a really nice thing). Getting to like "v14" for some tracks. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel though, just tweaking a few more tracks. I had a big breakthrough the other day when I remembered the existence of parallel compression/processing (exported five tracks of drum kit that I had processed to death down to one, brought it back in, took most of the processing off the original tracks, and blended the two).

Meanwhile I did this session, it was basically a sight-reading/first rehearsal/recording session deal. It had been a long time since I've been in an "everyone recording live" situation. I wish I had been able to play a little more freely, but after a couple takes you don't want to be the one who fucks it up when it's going ok. I only made one mistake that will haunt me the rest of my days on this one!

real!!!! you sound fantastic tho

meanwhile i'm going through a very intense unwound phase so i've decided to learn a bunch of unwound songs on drums. discovering that my drumming goal specifically in my band is "play more like sara lund"

great goal ivy. i did not realize that i followed one of your bandmates on letterboxd (and previously on twitter/bluesky when i was on there)

The other tune on that session was an intricate arrangement of the Zelda dungeon theme, curious/apprehensive to hear how that came out
