Speechless, again

An update
October 1st, 2009 MikeI have kicked out 4 songs on the 4track in the last week. What a blast; what a trying and manual process. I quickly got back into old habits in finishing the songs in one or two (max) sittings. I will ride this wave until I get sick of the outdated technology or until it breaks down. Either way, some songs are definitely coming out of it and I dig the inspiration.
I doubt this collection of songs will have anything to do with Mathlete as I mentioned previously. I figure I’ll leave that name in the past and not ruin the legacy we’ve left behind. So far the songs are quite inspired by that era though so if you’ve been following my output over the years this might be a bit of a time warp for you. I’m aiming for 15-20 songs.
Other than that, I turned 32 yesterday and I’m coming up on 4 years living in Sweden. All is rolling along and progressing. I was able to leave my job for 4 months (starting last month) to be home with my daughter. My days are spent at the playground, doing laundry, cooking and other domestic things you’d expect. This bonding time is really precious and I’m grateful to have such an extended period to do it. Recording music doesn’t fit into the daily routine; absolutely no time for it. I usually retire to the bedroom/studio after dinner and put in a couple hours when I’m in the mood.
Audio Graves Vols. 3 and 4 received quite a bit of attention according to the download stats I have available to me. Vols. 1 and 2 seem to be hiding under the radar a bit for some reason. So if you don’t have the entire collection please grab them all. It would make me really happy. I thought about putting together an after-the-fact abridged version picking like 25 of my favorites but quickly abandoned the idea. I don’t want to try and make it an “easy” listening experience. 15 years can’t really be summed so easily. I gained and lost a lot during those 15 years. It was good and bad times. It was all messed up and aligned perfectly, if that’s possible. There’s some work to do in putting the puzzle together.
I hope everyone had a great summer. The fall weather has blown into Stockholm. This is my favorite time of the year, year after year.
Until next time,
Mike
