Unsurprising discovery of the week, nr. 1<\/b>: people really like<\/b> posts about glowy things<\/a>. I cannot blame you.<\/p>\n

When I mentioned this elsewhere on the net, Fishy replied that eventually the entire world will look like Burning Man at night. I can’t really argue with that, with the possible exception of less fire. Or more fire. Hard to say.<\/p>\n

Unsurprising discovery of the day, nr. 2<\/b>: I should not have been trying to do timing edits while recovering from eye surgery. Past me did not save current-me any time by pressing on while medicated. Sedated me had a… questionable sense of rhythm, apparently.<\/p>\n

The biggest fallout from #2 is not realising it was happening until I nailed duplicating the iffy timing on mandolin. I thought it seemed funny at the time, but the mandolin part for this song (Song for a Free Court\/Anarchy Now) is actually quite difficult, so I thought it was just me struggling with what I’d written. But no. So I got to fix it twice yesterday.<\/p>\n

Not helping matters<\/b>: apparently when I do this live I… kinda slip in a couple of 5\/4 measures and slide the note timing around to make it work. It’s as if I was just slowing down for part, but I land right back on the original beat when I hit the verse, just at a different point in the measure count, so I don’t think that’s it.<\/p>\n

Either that or I’m just slowing down and speeding back up very precisely<\/em>, even when sedated.<\/em>*<\/sup><\/small><\/p>\n

That’s not going to happen in the studio version, and that’s a little weird to my ear right now. So, twice the work, half the fun, but fortunately, all of the awesome<\/em>. It sounds really good now.<\/p>\n

Whelp, rehearsal time. Catching a train down to Oregon tomorrow for six shows subbing for various members of Leannan Sidhe, and today is final rehearsal. Anybody gonna be in Toledo this weekend<\/a>?<\/p>\n
