There's always something

After being off a roll for a year I was really back on a roll after my last post here three months ago and the studio work was all finally flowing and moving forward again, and what does life throw at me? Well, fkin sht. I got something that hit me hard, some sort of a cold or a flu, or whatever it is these days. I had a fever, low but still, for a fkin month, it hit my throat and my voice was totally blown for over two months and I couldn’t start recording the vocals that I was just about to start working with. I’m not saying that all my planned releases would’ve happened anyway, but now they definitely did not.

The thing is that I’m not a person who’s sick or who rests, I can’t do that, so it always takes its time for me to recover, to heal. I have however played a lot of guitar, just jamming away, which I really normally don’t have time to do nowadays and when the hardest hit had laid off after a month or so I started working in the studio again, even though recording vocals was now off the schedule there’s always plenty to do. This might have saved my sanity for sure. 

For over two months I wasn’t able to rehearse or work out, which are two really essential requirements for me to function, but now I’ve started to work out a bit which is so important for me (my dopamine flow needs that push) and I’ve also started the work to get my voice back into full force action again. We’ve started rehearsing the acoustic stuff I’ve got going on with Mr Mallander and we’ve also thrown in some rehearsals jamming some exciting stuff with the PM Saari Band so I guess it's going forward.

Thinking about it, of course life did throw me back, there’s always something isn’t there? That's what it does, breaks the flow, pulls you back, balance it up, that’s what makes it such a good fight, right? Well it won't stop me, nothin will and I hope I’ll be able to start recording some vocals in early 2025, so I can finish some new stuff and put it out.

Y'all have the greatest holidays, I most certainly will, and take care. See you in 2025, in one way or another, in one condition or another

Peace.

Time flies

Me at my work desk at Beyond Dimensions Central Station.

So pretty long between posts here, simply because not that much to report. I’m working with music pretty
much every day, more or less, but am not really finishing anything to the point of putting it out. We’ve been rehearsing frequently with my solo band and also doing a few live dates every now and then, and the recording is a constant ongoing thing.

I’ve come to realize how much I love to launch a new project, how easy it is for me. I have no problem writing songs and arranging them, and I simply can’t stop it, it just pours out of me. I do put the brakes on every now and then, when it’s overflowing, but I can only hold it back for so long and out it pours again. Then it all needs to be recorded, and in some cases rehearsed, then all the recordings and takes need to be compiled and arranged, then mixed, mastered and released - and by this I’ve already started and thrown myself into a new, or probably a couple of new projects. So that is my biggest daily fight, aside from the constant war against time. But it really feels like it’s really time to finish some stuff and put it out.

Well another summer is through and we finished ours with a really great PM Saari Band gig where we were asked to play a bit longer set and we threw in some interpretations of some really cool covers, a really great and fun night indeed. Now I feel it’s really time to try to gear up and try to work focused and implement the plan and I believe there's a fair chance that there might be a single out in what’s left of 2024.

I’m also trying to intensify my social media presence, trying to keep up the frequency of posting and trying to get out some videos (marketing á la 2024), but this ain’t easy for an old school (or just old?) fogey like myself. For instance, as much as I love playing in front of an audience I’ve come to realise I really hate playing in front of a camera, but I do love challenges, so bring it on! Feel free to join my online endeavors at my official social sites below.

Peace.
