Hello again!! It seems like far more than a fortnight since the last entry here... but that's all it is!Things haven't quite gone as intended (do they ever?), Pete's back slightly earlier than planned with Marillion and is currently hibernating (catching up on sleep before he's off again next month), I haven't written, or sung, a word for nearly 3 weeks despite my best intentions, it just wasn't meant to be... but things are on the up!
I've kicked the habit successfully (smoking, that is) and I'm beginning to feel an improvement in my chest/throat/lungs and my vocal tone/range, even while speaking there is a distinct change to my voice. Here's hoping it translates to the material once I get back to the studio!
Despite the lack of real activity since Christmas the overall movement has been onwards and upwards... the activity on Last.fm, ReverbNation and those sites where our Demo EP has been made available has continued to increase while streaming on both Napster and Rhapsody and sales on iTunes appear to be on the increase as well... all great stuff, especially as we've done little to promote anything for over a month!
I'm now in a much better headspace than I have been since Christmas (between giving up smoking, issues at work and illness at home it's not been a good start to 2009!) and I intend to have at least a couple of new tracks to work on with Pete over the next week or two... and perhaps revisit a couple of the older ones as well! It's amazing how things change, this time a month ago I intended to have 5 or 6 tracks at least at the guide vocal stage, instead I'm still filtering through ideas and concepts which may or may not flesh out to full lyrics.. I've found my voice again, all I need to do now is find my muse!
I'll keep you posted as the lyrics progress... watch this sapce!
Slainté,
Grae
