Before the witching hour, Sizzly drums from the lounge, gwaps with a virus, soft-clipped meat covered in hiss…

finally structuring the dark place continues at pace

Another page has been written into the book of this place, 13 is where these words are kept, a final understanding of what has & hasn't in this dark city, & if you like it or not, we all end up in the book.

Taking a chainsaw to what will be track 5, fostering a guitar part for added villianry. 

The ghost snare must remain. 

I think this one is my low-key favourite crime scene.

& finally I return to advance on the temple, where the full beating heart of the bad-book resides, for tonight we accomplish a fresh mix, more detail, minor key tweaks, deeper balance, I think this is now close to the arrival point. 

Track 11 XT10 is here. 

It's been a productive week for real & sampled strings…

On monday, I went to visit with an old College lecturer of mine from back in my Music Tech day's, he kindly volunteered to record an electric guitar part to overdub the current synth version on track 5, he did a cracking job & added a certain unteathered inperfect human element to it, I'll be layering that in this week, & chasng a final mix on another piece for the bad place. 

Along with that, I've spent a little time manipulating a classical style acoustic guitar part for the final (credits) track in the dark place. 

Starting to see the dark at the end of the tunnel now. 

In winter, we will all live in the cities of…

& now we enter the final stages of making the bad place, where bad deeds are done, where difficult people do dark things, where ender plans are executed, we now go to FUTOPIA. 

I'm back in it now, working on the last stages. I've just pulled an all-nighter bringing one piece from a “maybe cut it” to a “fuck-on you heavy bastard!” What will be track 09, is now up to 3rd status, & well worth the alert upgrade. Extra beats, more emphasis on the horned growl, deeper swing, darker shuffle, & some powerful sound design. The #Iridium, the #Blofeld, the #OpSix, all make a disgruntled appearance, & they do it well! 

A lot more to come over the next few months, as I finalize my best work yet, the thing that shall define me. You won't hear it until the winter though, as this thing isn't a summer groove. 

Soon electro monkey's, soon…
