It's amazing how music can evoke absolutely any feeling or time or memory in the world. This collection of noise and the amalgamation of tone and harmony can conjure up almost anything that we've ever felt or dreamt of.

Truly, music must be the vastest world in the universe. Anything and everything can be experienced through music. How amazing

I remember around this time three years ago, being sat down on my computer in the evenings and listening to Mer de Noms, or more specifically 3 Libras, and sorting through my UCAS post, telling me I had been accepted into Cardiff. I remember listening to 3 Libras and getting quite upset and nervous about going, because I was so comfortable in ( Read more... )

Have sent many demos off now, to various different venues. I have about 7 or 8 more to send off, then I'll wait for the results. I don't want to go sending batches of like, 40 off at a time to any old venue. I've sent off demos to places I believe will be on benefit for us to play, and I hope we get responses soon ( Read more... )

My health seems to have taken a turn for the worse this past 6 months. Nothing major (I hope) - I'm generally fit and well. But, I have ingrown toenail and major infection which needs surgery, and now it looks like I have achilles tendonitis in the other foot due to the pressure caused by walking heavier on that foot, which in turn is due to the ( Read more... )

Started making demo CD's today. Bought a nice CD labeller and everything. I have a small biography and contact info insert - and the whole package is simple yet neat. In a rather odd way, this is probably the most practical progress our band has ever made. Thinking about everything we've done, all the practices and gigs at the Riverside and so on ( Read more... )

Things for the band seem to be going better. The songs are shaping up, and if I can only somehow persuade or otherwise blackmail Daniel into buying a delay/reverb pedal then that should be all the sounds we need to play live at the moment. I e-mailed Digitech about a power supply for my MIDI pedal. It has become an ongoing impossibility to find one ( Read more... )

Had practice last night. It was pretty good. Practice is, at least, a lot more constructive these days. Instead of the usual thrashing through an 8 song set with aimless intentions and flinching ambition, we actually study our work and try a little more to craft it. I feel a lot more confident in our music at least these days, in presenting it to ( Read more... )

Listening to your own music is always a bit strange. I often feel when listening to other bands like a spectator - naturally I suppose. You feel as though you are seperate from the music, like you're sat watching it in an audience, or like somebody is talking to you ( Read more... )

Practicing this Thursday, which is cool. I really want to sort out all the old stuff this month ( Read more... )

It has been snowing a fair bit recently, which has been unusual and yet pleasant, for we rarely get snow around these parts. I haven't updated in a while because I haven't had much to say. Laverne should be practicing a couple of times next week, and I'm still trying to put together that demo CD of new songs for the band. I've spent the last few ( Read more... )
