  • Threw out the entire project... starting anew.  New riffs, new structure, new influences.  Now I'm steering towards Tera Melos structures.
  • roadblock.

    I'm stuck in a rut.  I don't know whether to just muscle through it and continue to play when there are no creative juices flowing or to give it a break and take a sabbatical.  Frustration sucks ass.

  • I'm going to revamp PeLe's work in progress and change the entire structure of the song.  I'm thinking more in the direction of something Pelican-esque by repeating one riff twice before moving on to the next riff, so it's never a dull moment.
  • revelation one.

    Surprisingly, after tweaking a few settings and volume levels, I've managed to turn a cheap two dollar contact microphone into a bass drum mic. 

    It hasn't really occurred to me before this point that I've begun to ignite something that I've long thought and pondered and dreamed about.  Perhaps I won't see this musical endeavor to its completion by January, but it is a very large stepping stone back onto a path of rediscovering what I've pursued since middle school.  I hope I can keep this up for a while.  Oh yeah... best fucking buy is a fucking rip off.
