| Well I'm closer to discovering that voice... AngloAmericanLouReedPaulBanksIanBrown chimera! Wonder what he would look like? So MV and I have one more tune. MV has a certain genius when it comes to interesting chord changes. Once the tunes are demo'd properly, we'll stick them up for download and organize a gig. What will come first? My motorcycle license, or the gig? It'd be nice to ride to the gig on my Harley in my white suit. |
The dragon boat festival is over and I, for one, am wholly rested.
Took Belle to the pool.... for this time of year, the weather is wonderfully cool... so is the water.... I think belle was a bit too cold... is chattering teeth a bad sign?
After a great little trip we all promptly fell asleep... anyway, the reason for all this family blogging is to demonstarte that I now have a modicum of spare time.
Since I have some time, I've strung up 'McElvis', (the guitar I bought on tour in Scotland) and started to write some songs again.
Five minutes after stringing and tuning, Belle and Ada were dancing with Ada freestyling Disney lyrics.. something about 'Goofy sleeping in a red bed'... The look on Belle's face was splendid. i can't wait to teach her how to play. Should I teacher her classical or rock and roll? any ideas out there?
I decided to record my new tune on Protools. Belle sat in on the 'session' bobbing up and down keeping perfectly silent like a mini Yoko Ono.
So now, MASTER has two tunes.
1 per week as planned.

| After 3 or 4 hours spent recording a new song with my pal MV, we succeeded in creating an almost note perfect copy of another band's song!! Like a cover.... RE-WRITE! .....or should I just leave it and try to start a new song. Things to do... Practice the guitar work on my own voice.. can sing in tune, but always sound like someone else... get some guitar practice in.. Write 5 more songs. Call Robin at Time Warner (after said songs are written) Book a gig Find some more 'Masters' |

| Well, I decided that we need some more effects.. to add to the fun... so I'm working on a morph effect for the Harpy to the Butoh.... The heavy metal is tougher than I thought... It's not just about having long hair and leather pants. |

| Auditions for Y4- the Deathloop have gone extremely well.. the inclusion of a test scene on location in the SAW bathroom have made for some very interesting performances. The bath is nearly ready. The floors are nearly ready. The blood is being ordered today. The make-up designs will be completed today. I'm working on the trailer tonight and I've found some great FX to make our trailer look even cooler. Vix will be horrified! WOO! It's happening, baby, it's happening! |

| 'Bar' was written for a movie... background in a ...'bar' 'The Moon Over Kowloon' was recorded with the HK Philharmonic Orchestra for a stage production of 'The Taming of the Shrew'. It has lyrics but I want to re-record them. The Kowloon father was written to sound like the Godfather. Director's request. L12.1 was from 'The Yellow Wallpaper' stage production. The director called for an impressionist style. |

Tango was for a short film..... but it was never used because the director had a change of heart over content. The music turned out quite nice though even if it is a demo.
Tybalt fight was from Romeo and Juliet set in Feudal Japan. I recorded the Taiko drums in Tokyo. It is synched to a Katana Sword fight done live on stage, choreographed by 'Master Lai' the top Kendo artist in Hong Kong.
'Half a Girl' was a music video. The song was written many years ago. Recorded in my lounge in Fog Lane Manchester. Old, hissy and beautiful.
