twelfthtide

hello | happy new year | hope you all had a good start | we're all back again too | ready to get going >

i tried to use the time of the twelfthtide to get the new song done | had finished the vocals with c before christmas | where he still wasn't sure about the lyrics we just recorded both versions | so all tracks were there and ready for mixing | acoustic guitars | strings | ondes | piano | vocoder | some electric guitar | i went out with my zoom and recorded some ambient sounds for intro and outro >

so all i had to do was glue it all together and mix it and knot the loose ends | but somehow it didn't happen | the whole thing is just too damn huge | i mixed the a part first but when i was done with b i thought a was weird again | so all over again | and so on and so forth | spent several nights that way | but when i listened the next day it was always worse than before | almost freaked out >

and then i woke up monday round noon and suddenly it was finished | don't know what i did the night before | only have a few blurry memories | but anyway it's fine now | almost at least | for the b part i still need some creaking and croaking from an electric guitar | for the mood | maybe played with a cello bow | but till isn't here | already since last night | allegedly kind of date | something romantic | whatever | but i'm tired of waiting | i could probably just play it myself | his guitar is lying around in the rehearsal room and the bow is jin's anyway >

what do you think? | should I just do it quickly? | or will till be offended? | it's just a little scratching, isn't it? >

ps | i haven't heard from silke since christmas | maybe she's offended too | not that it matters to me

pps | wasn't quite happy with the pixel images | so i spent some time with midjourney and messed around a bit | think i like it better now | what do you think?
