24-05-10 – Keeping Low-Key / Big Bug!
Alrighty-roo! This week just gone involved…
- Writing the 7 day song
- Finishing Axe FX tutorial 4
- Producing a track for the secret project with Mr. Fish
- Going to Kieran’s brothers’ 21st birthday partay
- Getting stuff for free! (kinda)
- Helping Rachie to memorise a bunch of totally interesting biological facts!
Chillax…
So this month’s 7 day song is for Liquid drum and bass! It’s been one of the most tiring weeks ever this week, not only because of it being the hottest week of the year so far, but because writing liquid dnb combined with excessive dubstep (another thing I’ve been working on for YAWA) results in me needing to rest my eyes for far more than is normal.
It’s a cool track though – I’ve collaborated with an awesome homeslice from the BIAB forum called Ekol who’s bloody good at drums, so that’s why the drums are bloody good.
Day 1 released today and there’s already 23 comments only a few hours after it going up. Yay!
Axey Effexy
For some reason the tutorial doesn’t want to load. I’ve tried twice now and YouTube keeps bouncing it back for some reason. Rather annoying, now I know what businesses feel like when they’re all “pressured by the client” and stuff. I hate it when things don’t run on time!
Secrets abound!
I can nearly reveal it, in fact I think next week I should be able to do so, but this week I’ll keep you in the dark and just say that powerpop hits were composed for great justice!
Partay?
A rather random sojourn up to Kettering culminated in chilling in a hotel room with some good friends for a good evening. I got MASHED out of my FACE on lemonade, saw a really scary bug, ran, came back, got laughed at, hit Kieran’s little brother with balloons, ate too much and made as many inappropriate jokes as physically possible. All in all fun times.
Don’t you know who I am?
I’ve been flinging my status around in e-mails this week! I figured that since most magazines and websites can get stuff for free to review, I’d give it a shot as Dave from biab and lo and behold, several companies have agreed to send me some pricey software for reviewing purposes! Good stuff too, I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll let you know more next week if it arrives!
Revise with Rachie
It’s coming up to exam time so I’ve been getting my Biology hat on (it’s not a pretty hat) and assisting Rachie in defining DNA and assessing amino acids. I’m more into her psychology revision, as that’s actually interesting, but I get to derive pleasure from being overly picky with the answers with Biology, so at least I can entertain myself with that.
Next week on Dave’s Blog
It should entail…
- Getting sponsored for another 7 day song
- Finishing this 7 day song
- Revealing the secret project!
- Hopefully some news on the bidniss funding situation
- Free stuff!
- A gig in Walsall that I didn’t know about until today (never a dull moment in the YAWA camp!)
So ta ta for now, mi amigos!
