Week 16: Making a midi mess, and other pursuits

We’ve started working on the tentatively titled ‘Prog’. We’ve avoiding this song for months and this week decided it was time to face the fear. This is one of the oldest songs on the album, but has been in a constant state of flux since it was originally written some two and a half years ago. It’s been re-worked, edited, expanded and (nearly) discarded. Daryl’s been spending some time with it and I think we might finally be en-route to a final version of the song. Even if it does sound like a bit of a midi mess at the minute.

We both watched the three part BBC documentary series ‘All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace’ this week, frightening and brilliant stuff. See for yourself.

In between takes we’ve been reading:
Haruki Murakami - What I talk about when I talk about running (first non-fiction work of his that I’ve read. It's different, but just as great)
Brian Wilson – Wouldn't it be nice (Finally going to see him live in Dublin soon, on what is sadly expected to be his last tour of these parts)
