It’s now 7 in the morning and I’ve been up since 4. Yup, sounds crazy I know. I would be a little more worried about my well being if I hadn’t gone to bed at 8:30 last night so technically I’m doing okay.
A sound night’s rest has been particularly challenging these days since I’ve been preoccupied with the major life changing endeavour of finding a home and finally moving out of my apartment which I’ve been in for the past decade. Sadly, I’m not exaggerating.
Moreover, I’ve been up nights thinking about my album recording – going over the schedule, deciding what is the best way to record the guide tracks, checking off who I have to call… Suffice to say, there is a whole lot of planning that goes into recording. Just looking at my calendar you’ll quickly see by the amount of notes scribbled down and scratched out how taxing the process can get especially when you’re working with other musician’s schedules who are volunteering their time.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I’m not enjoying this it’s just that I’m eager to move on from the prep stage to the actual working stage of recording. That’s when you get to see the real fruits of your labour come to life and let’s pray that the end result will not be sour fruit.
