Closing In

I'm about a week overdue already on the mix for "I Miss You Most at Nighttime" but I'll simply blame it on the US Open since it completely distracted me from my work for over a week's worth of time.  I will say that I'm closing in on the final mix at long last, though.  I only really wanted to work on it for 3-4 weeks, and this is already week 5, but I think it's coming along nicely at this point AND I've learned a bit along the way, especially about bass and drums.

The songs have actually changed a bit from what I had over a month ago.  I've added quite a few subtle but noticeable details that have made certain things stand out more.  I can usually tell right away if I like a change, and whereas I did throw out a decent number of experimental changes, I'm pleased to see that more of them have stayed versus being thrown in the dumpster.  Overall, I really like this album, especially after listening to it repetitively for the past few weeks.  It's a pretty easy listen, I think, and I can't even really say that I'm sick of it yet, and you have to realize that I've heard it hundreds of times now since I also have to listen to it when I working on it.

This album has taken the majority of my time so I'm afraid that "Mirror Land" is still being neglected at this point.  I will get back to it soon, I think.  The wheels are already in motion in my head for the next Jazz Machine album which I really look forward to working on hopefully in the not too distant future.

That's it for now - more later in the week, perhaps.
