shit i forgot to do this!!!! SHORT VERSION OF EVENTS: i finished the mythical horn o'plenty cassette and sent mp3s to a bunch of my friends, it's 12 songs of awesome and peer reviews have been spectacular. my favorite (regarding the title track) was "it sounds like a Shepard tone for a shepherd that lost their sheep". in all seriousness... i'm really proud of these songs and my friends like them a lot. i've been on a bit of a 4-track dry spell recently, but i finally recorded a version of Deep In Thought that i liked which was the missing peace that tied HO'P together a week ago and so i'm gonna go at recording a few songs i've been meaning to do FOREVER that i just simply never got around to doing.
i also found the first ever batch of APNR demos today, done in audacity on friday the 13th in october of last year... very formative stuff for that project, a lot of it is me figuring out what i wanted to do with it. some of the songs are more personal than things i would ever publicly share, like a song called otherside which i wrote when i was really sad and later put more potently in Never a Fantasy. there's also versions of Hopesong and Take More Time which I both wound up doing on tape, and a few things from December 2023 i found in that folder that are similarly just mono recordings in front of a microphone and mostly songs that never went anywhere or later recordings of Take More Time or whatever. there's one called Liquor Store Receipts i wanna do something with... not to sound like super ego-ey but the chorus of that is one of my proudest chord progs/melodies ever. lyrics are crummy though.
aside from my own music things though! i have an interview with chilis tomorrow and i am TERRIFIED. i mean it's only tomorrow because i stayed up until 1 AM again but i'll fix that part of me before i actually job around. most of it is going straight into savings so i can work on moving out of this house, a thing i desperately need to do, but i also have plans to buy a tape machine so i can start dubbing physical copies of my demo tapes (like with horn o'plenty and whatever comes next) and send then to my friends/internet well-wishers/other people. tentatively i've considered doing duplication for my friends with it too but we'll see if i have the psychological fortitude for that... probably.
i think i should probably go to bed now! in the morning i'm gonna get back to multitracking APNR stuff and then i'm gonna prepare myself for the chili's interview. it's gonna go well, i just know it.
