hot damn

and why not

I've recorded some drums oy, now reckoning with the new directions the music is taking from demos MIDIed oh so long ago.

It's been two months since we broadened fragments, loops, into verses and choruses and what have you, and now are we recording the drums oy.

Hell, I've never recorded live drums before and could not anticipate the excitement and vibe that comes with it. The 60s era kick drum--Beatles logo drum head, all--has a wonderful natural resonance to it which is rather unlike the electronic European house music that originally inspired the project.


Now, do I defy the efforts lain on my drums, at my feet, and process the shit out of said recordings in order to closer reflect said inspirations?

I don't know.

I like the idea of things evolving over time, and I've mentioned recently that the new sounds are somewhat intimidating to ears accustomed to the modesty of 4-track demos; I've suggested that perhaps I will merely wait, take these things in, and grow further accustomed to what is now changing and developing in this music.

Again, seemingly without my direct involvement, other than bossing these kids around--an indirect role with which I am all but unfamiliar/will totally behoove me to understand and appreciate.

Great. Sounds great, even.
