Playing live is like a drug.
I wake up, and go I straight to watch the video 99 Problems by Jay-Z. Am hooked. I do the usual. Today I got to run around the city that´s collapsed doing errands that otherwise would take me 2 hours but it can take as much as the whole day. It´s dangerous to carry guitars in public transportation. Am getting bummed of using a drum machine. And am starting to love even more this city. If it wouldn ´t challenge me to the point of paralysis, how would I know that I won´t and can´t stop moving?
Theres not really a place for a rant in this post. I´ll roll with what I have. Got my Mac back from the technician shop and been passing my music files, installing softwares, etc. It takes a lot of time and work. That´s fine, 9 am, 12 am, here we come again.
But appart from producing seriously and focused stuff for a couple of friends, I have my recording setup configured, so am recording “Professional Demos”. I have no other name for it. It was better sounding at this time that “Guerrilla Demos”- I have my Mics, my interface, We go into a rehearsal studio, I record em, and then I give em back the produced song.
And with my music, am still experimenting with recordings of my own, making music that otherwise I wouldn´t be making live, cuz of lack of musicians. I know very few musicians who are flexible enough to swim across the whole spectrum of “types” of music, and are already taken. Literary. Maybe I´ll just revert to “Punk Drum Machine”. That´ll be the kind of music I play. You´ll only hear reverb and screams. (I have no idea what am talking about in the last paragraph).
This Jam came up pretty nicely. Am configuring and installing everything fast so to play all day again. Maybe I´ll do a small EP here at home and stop worrying too much about the lack of spaces to play live. Like my friend said, maybe I´ll turn into a “Just recording Artist” like a lot of respectable musicians do and have done. Playing live every 2 weeks is a drag. Cuz playing live is like a drug.
