X-over

Another: crossover with the _music_ blog
Sorry, but: nothing else has been happening.

here's an interesting pondering: i don't know how long it normally takes to finish a remix of a track. isn't that strange?

i'm remixing a track at the moment for Synoiz, called Andromeda. i've loved the track for a long time - well, since it was made last year anyway - and i'm pleased with where my first try at remixing is going.

but as i made a cup of tea this morning, i thought: "if i got me skates on, i could have the structure finished by tonight" ...and this from someone who's unaccustomed to finishing anything musical? (which is the by-product of having the shortest creative attention span in the music world) so... i'm just wondering how long it normally takes to remix a track. strange, isn't it? i have no frame of reference, so i don't feel hindered by either not spending enough time on it, or by being too needlessly in-depth. i'm going to keep myself ignorant until it's done, so that i can look it up later and see how i compare.

ooooh i got a nanoPAD last week - i'm sick of programming beats one click at a time, and having no decent midi interface, that's the only option. the thing is, money's a bit tight at the moment, so i was complaining to a friend on monday (during the great snow-in of 09) that i should probably sell it, as all i keep doing with it is picking it up, waving it around making "ooh shiny" noises, bashing out the same crappy beat and putting it away again - and though it was a bargain, it was still £50 - which is a weeks shopping as we young professionals know.

that was monday night, and i now have three more beginninngingingings of newer tracks, and the start of the remix, all contributed to greatly by the nanoPAD.

my guilty, guilty thoughts betray an unease with all this materialism though and want me to sell it anyway.

stupid thoughts.
