still mixing...

it's that 45 second build. there's just a lot of stuff. i'm coming up on a completion, soon, though....of that section.

i'm starting to realize, though, that i'm not going to be able to cram as much guitars into this as i want. i mean, it's taking forever to get the space just for this. there's a few more fills i'm certain of. i don't want to force anything.

so, i may end up backtracking and deleting the last mix as temporary. it's just going to depend on whether i can actually squeeze some parts in.

if i do that, the orchestral concerto won't be happening, either. which means i'll be working something into an overdub mix.

i've wavered back and forth on this repeatedly. i keep saying that i like the idea and want to make it work. but i keep saying that there's not really space and i don't want to force it.

i'm toying with the idea of stripping it down a little, but then i'm dealing with a different thing entirely.

this would be a lot easier if i were a metal guitarist and didn't give a fuck, but i need to maintain the compositional integrity.

i'm just really not excited about plowing over the last three months of work with a fuzz pedal.

it's gotta actually fit....and there's just a lot to dance around....

i wanted to hit two shows this weekend, but it's becoming clear that it's going to be too fucking cold. i don't need august in march, but it'd be nice to get the overnights above -10 if i'm going to be heading into uncharted territory. if i end up staying in, which is seemingly likely, i think i could plausibly get something done for monday. i hope it warms up soon...
