It is now essentially my last month or so at Derby and I've still got plenty of work to be getting on with. My album project is coming along alright although there are parts that I'm struggling to finish, lyrics that don't want to emerge. Structurally it is all down and there are just vocals parts and a few bass and guitar tracks to record. Most of it is all in one project which takes up about 6.2GB but I have a newer track that I've saved separately purely because that's how it was started. Non-surprisingly I still need lyrics for that one too as at the moment I only have part of the first verse. I figured this weekend that this is the week that I really need to push myself if I want to get everything done on time. I have a few performances coming up which solve themselves almost but, I also have a report to start due in at the end of this month.
I've had a few new opportunities arise recently, my band Kill the Moon have reformed after about a year of silence, I'm trying out playing bass for a blues/rock/pop band and Phil, one of the lecturers has offered me to play a gig with him in September because he recons my playing style suits what he plays. It's all quite exciting but, I can't help but feel like I'm seriously running out of time fast this semester. It's gone way too fast and I've not done enough in the time that's past. It's still redeemable but I will really need to push on hard this week. I suppose the third and final year is meant to be stressful and this is where it's at with me. I was gonna post some blog posts today and push on with some research today but I'll save it for when I get home now. I think I need a break before I head off to do some session work and maybe spend some time on my album if I have the time.
It's only a two hour session...
