Set like a flint
If you are easily offended by bad language click away from this blog now.
This is a post I put into the private forum among my guitar buds. I am putting it here for my own memories and future reference.
Not all bad occurences are bad.
When my files got corrupted for my initial tune that sucked. But when I decided to do an instrumental rock track that opened doors that I have needed to break through for a long time. I guess you can say in many ways I have built a style around my limtations. Don't get me wrong...I like jazzy, ambient, new age stuff, but that is just a part of me. Its not all I want to do.
So anyway I am working on this rock tune which will be called Catalyst. I find myself running into the walls that have discouraged me in the past. Before I just went another way out of frustration. Not this time. I am doing this fucking song. It will submit it. It will be just this: a picture of where I am at now. And I guess for the first time or one of the few times, this is alright with me because I am learning. I will learn this process. I will keep experimenting, make new distinctions, make improvements. Where I am in June with the tune will be where I am at in June. That is it.
It will be much farther than I am now. And it will be much farther than I have ever been.
To think I would walk in the MCMP and everything will just change is bullshit. Not that I thought that going in but I guess sometimes I get caught up in the timeline and expectations get all twisted.
No when this MCMP is finished I tell you how I will walk out. Better than I was when I started and more armed with the tools to grow. So will I get a lot of benefit from doing this CD if its not perfect? More than the money could ever buy any other way.
