So today my good friend Trevor is coming down to my studio to record. We will be resuming work on an album we started recording in August. Yesterday I sat at the piano and came up with a song for us to ponder. Earlier yesterday I took a long bike ride... probably the longest of my life. Clocking in at more than three hours, I made it from my Mission Viejo home, to the coast in Dana Point, to Aliso wilderness park, to Cook's Corner. It was exhausting, and fun.
My father purchased a Vita-Mix today, which is good news for a raw vegan like myself. I have a butternut squash that is just begging to be shredded to bits. I have had an Omega juicer for a good while, and I've been juicing daily again for a month or so. I love that machine. The Vita-Mix is apparently incredible for smoothies, and gives the added benefit of keeping all parts of the fruit or vegetable in the drink, unlike a juicer, which discards pulp. This is very healthful, from what I hear, at getting rid of potential disasters within the body.
Right now there are two pianos being moved into my house. Nothing new really. I hope that they make fun sounds before getting worked on. I remember when I just got home from my trip to Indiana there was a piano here that was incredibly out of tune, so I recorded it. I have yet to use the recordings, but every time I come across them I know that once I start manipulating them it will be a real treasure and quite fun. When is tape music not fun? Well, quasi tape music, since I don't work with tape, nor have I ever. I am true to my time, and I record on a computer. I certainly have less in the way of limitations, and more in the way of ease.
Last, but certainly not least, Yesterday I made a very short video about my new computer game. Check it out:
