Yeah, haven’t actually written too much lately, instead letting the Twitter module take over & capture the fragmented thoughts of any given day. Night time has been spent experimenting with recording, incrementally carving, remapping, knob-twisting, and the like, moving slowly– but ever– onward. Lingering favorite from last week has to be the Tuba samples, thrown through some distortion pedals set to mid-growl level. Sort of a dirty heroic fanfare, which makes my sternum go all a-flutter.

Just last night/this morning, was checking out WaveBurner, and realized just how far the distance between an .AIFF and an .MP3 … if you listen, if you really listen, there is a lot wrong with the .MP3 compression; it’s like some sub-psychological mud– a mud that’s almost not audible, but rather something sort of felt.

Which makes me excited for the time I actually permit myself to buy the near-field monitors I keep thinking about. At the very least, it will give me some sort of gold standard from which to measure deviation(s).

Ok, so a sort of boring update-type post. Nothing too useful. So it goes, my head is down in the waveform, swimming in the frequency bands. Better philosophy when I actually look up.
