Happenings

Sat outside on the grass in my garden writing this at the mo - thanks to the wonders of wireless networking :)

So, what's happened today? At work, I finally got round to releasing a load of the parts for the new ventilator I'm designing. That's good by the way, because it means I'm one step closer to getting the thing into production. In other news... I bought a pair of speaker stands on eBay - wind-up ones so you can get your speakers up nice and high (to give a more uniform coverage of sound) with the minimum effort - looking forward to trying them out at Tim and Becky's wedding.

I've still got a serious amount of work to do for beach mission. So far I've planned the first 3 days worth of sessions, so that leaves another 7 to do!

Going back to the studio tonight (www.onenationstudios.com) - we're recording our new EP*. The horn section were recording on Tuesday night but there was one riff I just couldn't get right. It was so frustrating, as we've been playing the track live for ages, but I realised I'd been ghosting one of the notes. I gave up on Tuesday night as the others were getting bored of me playing the same phrase over and over again, wrong. James reckoned he could construct the riff using the bits I had played, but I wasn't too happy with that. I practiced it a bit last night and finally nailed it - so going to lay it down properly while I can still remember it.

*any good suggestions of names for the EP will be gratefully received.
