more artsy pics ;-)

I just sent the first shipload of songs to the guy who's going to mix the album and it feels so good. I keep fantazising about how it's going to be when all is finished and I can hold that little piece of plastic in my hand.

Anyway, some other good news is that I finally posted som pics of Hanna who plays the soprano saxophone on my album. I forgot the camera the day we recorded but thank god for cellphones with bad cameras in them, here's some artsy pics of Hanna now.

 

My beautiful and talanted friend Hanna!

I actually had my first band with Hanna back in the 90's. We were a jazz-pop band then 🙂 Quite a different sound from what I'm doing now.

Silly.

This is my daily routine: come home from work, embark myself in my bedroom studio and play until my fingers bleed.

It gets really hot in there as well as I have to have all windows and doors closed. So today I had to cut off a pair of nylon stockings, make little holes for my fingers and use it as a glove on my left hand because my palm was so damp and I couldn´t change the chords fast enough and kept getting stuck. Not very stylish I tell you, but it worked!

Anyway, I feel rather content with todays recording even though I kept getting cramps in my hands and my fingertips are kind of sore now

I decided to post a little sample of today´s recording of "It´s silly now". I haven´t begun recording the band yet so it´s just me so far. Maybe I´ll add new versions later and you can all hear how the song evolves with more instruments.

Listen here: Silly

Time for tea, tata folks!
