Redo Fest

Sunday afternoons... the perfect occasions for napping, catching up on light housework, flipping on an old movie, and when you are pushing forward on a year long music project, several hours worth of a recording fest.

The Redline Project has inspired a dichotomy of love and hate lately. With so much vying for the scant gaps in my schedule, I have wanted nothing more than to put a wrap on these recordings. But as I sit in my wheeled leatherette office chair, clicking away at the old pile of Logic files, I am savoring anew the fun and excitement of the Redline Project.

It is clear from gut intuition (not to mention Google Analytics) that readership of this blog has dwindled down to a handful of dedicated readers. That is okay with me, especially because the remnant of holdouts are delightfully encouraging and actively motivating.

When the blog started, not only was there an audience excitement about the new project initiative and a fat question mark about the proprietor's ability to bring the goals to completion, there were also regular experimental audio postings that drew people into the contents of these posts. Now months into the recording, editing, and mixing process of the actual project tracks, there has been a complete dearth of such postings. I can understand how daily paragraphic musings aren't much of a draw.

That said, I believe the launch of all my final materials is a matter of weeks away. Soon we will be through all of the technical discussions of snail-like progress and we will move on to an exploration of self-marketing tactics.

As a side but important note, the music currently blaring out of my studio monitors, the bridge from Thursday, is good. Darn good, actually (Said with the humblest of second-guessing lack of confidence). For those who have made it far enough to be reading this post, please be assured that my gratitude (in the form of polished mp3 tracks) will soon be a click and a free download away.

Now back to the Sunday afternoon recording fest.
