Business

I've been thinking a lot about the ego recently and more specifically its effects on my goals, aspirations and art.

I've come to the conclusion that my ego, and by ego I am referring to a desire for self importance and the adulation and respect of external entities is the single biggest obstacle between me, my creative aspirations and general happiness.

This conclusion has been a big driver for me in the last year or so and has had a profound impact on the direction I have steered my life in.

Started Not this Shell. Vocals - rough but style promising. Drums lovely and understated. Gat parts - acoustic layers smothered in delay pedal electric for good measure. Fantastic vintage reed organ sound i found completely sets the tone for this piece. Of all the tracks I've done so far, this is the one I'm most happy with from a production point of view. The tone and atmosphere and the space are just how I imagined them in my head. looks like the break I've had from music in the last couple of days has paid off. I feel like this is a watershead moment for the album.
