If ever there was a wild time to be alive, I’d say it’s right now. In the U.S. we have a childish leader who’s looking to start WW III. Creative people are coming to terms with AI. I’m battling hackers in other countries trying to take over my server. If I had a Time Machine I might make some changes in the past. Sometimes you have to push and iterate before the real magic happens.
By that I mean with the server and the music, not with a terrible leader or wars.
For visitors to this post, I’m an American, but I do not condone what the President is doing or threatening to do to foreign nations. It’s idiotic and not the way a lot of us feel.
The beauty is, I’ve solved a giant portion of the problem with the server security. I was never in danger, but it was getting a little overworked. Unfortunately I can’t get that time back, nor am I throwing the gauntlet for the hackers to try again. Nothing that some musician’s aren’t used to: hard work.
Now it’s time to get back to the music. This week it’s a song called Time Machine. It’s also the reason for my statement about iteration. There’s a lot of iterations that happens for all kinds of creative people. This week’s animated cover took an awful lot of iterations.
One of the best people to ask about the sheer number of iterations to that cover animation is Ken Bailey. He went thru a ton of hell with me for that singular animated cover. The end result was something I could finally be happy to show come Friday.
Mentioned in the song notes, I had a notion that I would do this song with Tori Amos, even though it is not her wheelhouse. Who knows maybe some day there will be a chance to perform it together. Until then I want you and the rest of the world to enjoy the updated mix.
Stay tuned for more.
