Podvlačenje crte

11 jul

Nakon niza peripetija koje mi sve više liče na igranje pacmana (samo u real-time prostoru i vremenu), album Movies se približava svojoj „bioskopskoj“ premijeri. Zbog letnjih odmora koji u isto vreme predstavljaju i pauzu od radnih aktivnosti, odustao sam od iznajmljivanja reverb procesora, premeštajući termin za tu poslednju produkcijsku obradu na kraj avgusta. Pored sređivanja raznoraznih dugova tokom leta i konačnog dolaženja do keša sa kojim ćemo zatvoriti finansijsku konstrukciju albuma, ova pauza će značajno doprineti „osvežavanju“ mojih ušiju pred finalni mix koji me čeka početkom septembra.

MP1 je konačno došao da čuje svih 6 pesama i na moje uporno insistiranje da mi priča samo o potencijalnim problemima i stvarima koje mu deluje klimavo jer će mi to najviše pomoći pred finalni mix on je odgovorio sa onim legendarnim Čolinim „Ja tu ne bi ništa diro“. To mi je baš podiglo raspoloženje jer njegovom sudu najviše verujem.

LovBoY i ja smo proveli par dana zajedno u zezanju i pravljenju planova za jesenju sezonu pokušavajući da nadoknadimo propušteno vreme. On je za to vreme uspešno spremio prijemni ispit za kontrabas tako da će sledeće godine završiti teorijski odsek na akademiji i u isto vreme krenuti sa kontrabasom. LovBoy se širi na sve strane! Neki okvirni plan je da, nakon odmora, krenemo sa intenzivnim probama i spremanjem za koncerte koji bi trebali da proprate izlazak drugog albuma. Po prvi put ćemo lajv izvoditi i re-aranžirane pesme sa prvog albuma !#! koji još uvek nije doživeo koncertno izvođenje.

Inače, LovBoY će da zapali za Francusku tokom avgusta gde mu je iskrsla prijateljska kombinacija za seriju džez koncerata, sa Mici nismo stigli da se vidimo, ali smo se čuli i ispričali uz bodrenje za nastavak rada, a ja bežim u divljinu da se regenerišem od svih sranja koja su me zasula tokom ove godine.

Život nas melje, ali i mi meljemo njega. Padovi i usponi su deo te priče, a mi se nadamo da ćemo na jesen savladati ovaj jednoipogodišnji uspon (a padali smo dosta na njemu) u koji smo uložili sve naše resurse – do poslednjeg daha.

Underline the line

11 jul

After a series of troubles that remind me of playing pacman (but in real-time space and time), the album Movies is approaching its „cinema“ premiere. Due to summer holidays which at the same time represent a break from work activities, I gave up on renting a reverb processor, moving the term for a final production process to the end of August.In addition to arranging all sorts of debts during the summer and after that finally manage to collect money with which we will close the financial construction of the album, this pause will significantly contribute to „refreshing process“ of my ears before the final mix which is waiting for me in early September.

MP1 has finally come to hear all six songs and on my insistence that we talk only about the potential problems and things that seems shaky because that will be most useful for me in phase of final mix he replied with legendary Čola line „I would not touch anything „.It really raised my spirits up because I strongly believe in his opinion.

LovBoY and I have spent several days together in the kicks and making plans for the fall season trying to make up for missed time. He, meanwhile, successfully prepared the entrance exam for bass so that next year he will finish the theoretical department at the academy and at the same time start with the bass.LovBoy is spreading all over the place! Some tentative plan is that after the break, we will start with intensive rehearsals for the concerts that should promote our second album. Also, for the first time we will play live re-arranged songs from the first album! #! which still did not have concert life.

Otherwise, LovBoY will flee for France in August where he is invited (in a friendly combination) for a series of jazz concerts, we did not manage to see Mici, but we spoke over the phone with encouragements for further work, and I will go into the wilderness to regenerate from all the crap they showered me this year.

Life grinds us, but we also grinded it. Ups and downs are part of the story, and we hope to overcome this oneandhalf year rise (and we were falling a lot during it) in which we invest all our resources – to the last breath.
