Well, what a week. Besides many other interesing happenings, including the writing, recording and releasing of mini album '27.10.10' a.k.a The 24-Hour Record, I can express with enthusiasm that in other creative areas, the week has been bursting with productivity. This, I like. Wait - 'love'.
Saturday 30th October 2010 involved the first full band rehearsal session of Buds of Lavender; the lyrics to which can be found in a post from last week. This was an incredible eye-opener for me. Dropped well and truly in an area far from 'destination comfort', I felt challenged for the second time in the same week. I relied heavily on the use of a synthesiser/keyboard to communicate the basic melody - (positioned just outside the shot to the far right). Although lacking confidence and somewhat sheepish with regards to using said mechanism, it did seem to do the job.
I have a new-found respect not only for songwriters worldwide, but in particular towards my close fellow music creators.
