Getting quite obsessed with recording, when I really should be doing other stuff. Like earning money, and that. But the production quality of what I'm coming up with is really impressive, if I may say so myself.
Spent a bit of the day on that.
Taught a manic hour lesson with one of my regulars, and then had a script reading with Jonnie and Liz; it's a short film that Jonnie has written and it's about isolation, and can be filmed virtually, so it's great that we have this to work on. We ran it twice tonight and will film it on Monday. They're both so lovely to work with, the three of us have plenty in the diary coming up once we're allowed out.
Played some of my 'album' to A, and she was a bit blunt. I get it, I'm a drummer, a bloody good one, too, and the drumming on this project is amazing, and creative, as is the clean production. But my melodies are "about GCSE level." She's got a point, and I'm grateful that I'm not marrying a cheerleader, I'm marrying someone who will be honest with me. I just feel bad because I've spent five days on this now.
But it did open up a new idea, an idea for a drums-only, storytelling album...will start work on it as soon as I've finished this post.
