not enough time

why can't days be 144 hours long... i am doing a blues gig this friday since lingus is on break and none of my projects are bookable right now. it always strikes me as ironic that i work so hard to make original music, but that ends up being hard for other people to learn & expensive technically to put on, so i end up jamming unrehearsed blues favorites instead.

emptyself will perform live, as will cire once again. however i am just one person, and i can only do so much at a time to make ends meet, write & record new music, learn new production techniques, keep up with world affairs, handle label business, practice playing and singing (which i dont do as much as i should-- slacker!!), and organize live performances.

lately i've been working with NI Kontakt running on my laptop for constructing drum tracks out of samples of the kit in my studio, and it's really inspiring. i love working out my studio setup to make it more streamlined and inspiring. i also love learning how to do completely new things with pieces of gear that i've had for 4 years, like the triton. that board is just an ocean of possibilities that one could never exhaust. i have a modest studio, but i'm thankful for it everyday.
