After the laziest of lazy Saturdays, today (Sunday) i attended the fit-up for the Little Theatre's production of "A view from the bridge". Arriving at 10:30 this morning and leaving just after 8 this evening, its been a hard and long day indeed. However tiring it has been, it certainly feels good to be creative using hammers and drills. Today saw the crew constructing a raked stage with a surrounding set mimicking 1950's New York city. A full and rewarding day and topped off by my return home to a sunday roast made by my darling lady.
As for the weekdays preceding the weekend, the final preparations have been made for Thursday evenings recording of a barbershop choir. So a full report with pictures and hopefully a time-lapse video will be posted soon after. I've also been developing an idea for a new website with the needs of sound engineers at heart, so i'll soon be begging, stealing and borrowing whatever i can to make it a success.
The week ahead looks set to be a musical one, with Alley Barber soon to be visiting for some synthesis and electronica experimentation.
Right then, time to watch the football highlights and mix a few drums.

This week I have.....
Well it's been a busy week again. The main focus this week has been planning a recording session for a Barbershop choir of 25 strong. After multiple e-mails, phone calls and a meeting with the choir's secretary, all is about in place. It looks set to be an exciting session, with it giving Rich and myself the opportunity to use our own recording rig.
This week i have also realised that i need to get back to grips with playing guitar. Having mostly listened to Placebo's debut album this week, i awoke Thursday morning feeling positive and hungry to pick-up my guitar again. However, these feelings were short lived when my Marshall DSL100 literally blew-up.
Thankfully Arron and Alastair (the band) where round on friday, so i managed to get a guitar playing fix. We're still trying to get things together as a band, having still not written any material and still being unsure of the direction we want to take the band in. But we are ever so slowly chipping away at the project and hopefully we'll make a breakthrough soon.
The highlight of the week came when I came across a remix of Bloc Party Vs Katy Perry, so click on the link to have a listen.

The Great Dictator Vs M83
A Great video. The creator has simply spliced together M83's "By the kiss" off the album "Digital Shades Vol. 1" with the audio and visual from Charlie Chaplin's film "The Great Dictator". A simple video, but certainly a compelling one. Enjoy.
