Been working on a few tracks recently, in an attempt to align my Berlin School influences with my more contemporary sounds. It worked on Aqueduct, but the Berlin style pieces I’ve worked on since have been much more in an attempt to recreate that sound rather than incorporate it into other things. Most of these should turn up on Awakenings compilations over the next year. Anyway, this week I’ve worked on a sequence-based piece with lots of modern sounding pads on top, and something which sounds a bit like Biosphere with mellotron, which works a lot better than that sounds.
These will probably end up on the album due at the beginning of next year (album #5, number fans), which is heading towards completion at quite an alarming rate. However, this has given me the opportunity to plan a little time off from music making over the spring and summer, which might do me some good as I really do need to spend time away from the computer – difficult when I have a half-finished album just dying to be completed. I might focus my attention on listening to music for a while rather than writing it! Anyway, we shall see…
