Target

I had another pretty good weekend of mixing and such.  I did another revision of "Only With You", one of the tracks that's been a real thorn in my side for months/years from the "Mirror Land" EP, and I'm proud to say that I marked it as "done" last night.  Wow.  I can't tell you how good that feels.

The other two tracks from the EP are coming along, and it's pretty impressive considering this time around I'm only on pass number 3 at the moment.  I fully expect both of them to be done within the next two weeks, and no, that's not just optimism (yes, pun intended...one of the songs is actually called "Optimism").

The "...Fish!" mixes are coming along as well and I'm really doing nothing more than nitpicky and finishing touch sort of items at this point.  I also added just a couple more bits of recording but I think I'm pretty done with all of that, my last being an organ part on "Creeped Out" that seems like it worked fairly well.  I'm trying very hard to keep that song, one of the newer ones that I've recorded, as a simple 4 piece track without a ton of overdubs which would be something new for me.

I also finally started the finalization process for the "As Evening Brings Tears" video edit version.  I'm hoping to submit it for mastering this week and then I'll hand it over to my friend who did the video for it.  I'd like to think that maybe it'll be on YouTube by mid February.

As of right now, I'm managing to keep on schedule and might even be slightly ahead of schedule (don't say that too loud, of course).  I've been doing a lot of planning for this year and we'll see how it goes.  I also reached out to MWP about working on that new EP together, and he's currently trying to raise some money for moving his large archival vinyl collection from Penzance to Porto, Portugal.  All in all, I'm trying to maintain high hopes and shooting for the proverbial stars, and so far the key to that seems be simply staying on target.
