more sonic adventures and more
last night i went to the gym. first time in a few weeks.
some time ago i realized the secret to not being disappointed in your gym attendance:
you can always go tomorrow.
i've found this to work unerringly. i've never missed a tomorrow!
but anyway, i motored after work last night and hit the gym for 20 minutes on a stationary bike and 10 minutes on a rowing machine. felt really good. gotta keep it going, though. none of that 'tomorrow' crap, unless it's for real!
after the gym and dinner, i had to buckle down in the studio to finish off my remix of The Luxury's song "Let Go." i think it turned out pretty well, overall, though i think i can improve the levels a bit. maybe i'll be doing that tonight.
but i had a really good time twisting the hell out of that song. another guy -- lexi said that steve is The Luxury's drummer -- remixed the song, too, so i had to approach it in a much different way than the original and his remix attacked it. so i started out by time-stretching a loop of the drums and then laying the vocal overtop of it. really turned it around and gave it a much darker, almost claustrophobic vibe, so i began programming sounds, processing other original tracks, editing, etc., trying to push it in that dark direction.
lots of fun... now i've got so many things on the back burner awaiting my attention. i owe david kirkdorffer a call today, and we've got to get back onto that stuff. i did get some drum loops happening for one of the tracks, but they've not gotten as much attention as they deserve yet.
it's no wonder i don't have a lot of readers on here, given the "joe's life recap" approach i've been giving this. almost every day, i say something to lexi and she replies "that's how your blog should start, and you should write about that." but i don't do it right away and i forget the interesting things i said. then, sometime later, i say "crap, i should update that damn thing," and i fill it with the recap since i can't remember all of the interesting things i say.
really, you can't imagine all of those interesting utterances. not amidst all this droll crap.
we picked up a few new cds in the last week. lately, i can't stop listening to the new TV On The Radio album, Return To Cookie Mountain. some really great stuff throughout. the tune that is on infinite repeat in my head is Hours, and the remix of it that sits right by the end of the record kicks the crap out of me. SO awesome. also digging on some Gnarls Barkley, but that hasn't sunk its claws as deep as TVotR. at least not yet...
