It may not have involved any 2000 degree ovens, but I've had my own weekend art projects. Less flame, more electricity. Less crazy science pictures, more tech research and signal diagrams. I'm finally building my studio!
It's been a long time coming, but since I've finished the second draft of my book, I figured it would finally be okay for me to take up music production as a serious hobby. I spent a lot of time doing gear research (after all, picking the equipment is half the fun) and put in the order right before we went off to Derek's wedding. When we got back the front room was filled with boxes (brought in by the cat-sitters) and I had a lot of presents to open.
I've gotten the basics all set up: the audio interface, two microphones, and some software. I can do recording now, which was one of the goals I had for my studio. I'd like to try and put out some simple podcasts up here for fun. Just me and Jess talking about stuff. We'll see how it goes.
The other thing I'm planning to set up is the synthesis portion of the studio: that keyboard you see there and some more software. I've been experimenting and reading up on the recording software, and just finished that book, so now I can go on exploring synthesis. It's all so exciting!
Also, this week marks our one year anniversary. Even more exciting! Being married is really fantastic, it's been a pretty amazing year for us, what with the new house and new town to explore. We continue to get along great, primarily, I think because we both believe in open and honest communication and because we both like to see the other happy so much. Here's to many more great years!
