.. I'm starting on a second album. I know, after I wept blood to finish Thrown, I should run the hell away and delete my VSTs...
..BUT! There is some attraction, dare I call it a need, to CREATE. I feel music in my blood and soul,She sings to me in dreams and shadows, and I am helpless in the hands of my Muse..
This one is a transitional album, between the soul-crushing emptiness of Thrown and the dreamland of "Lord of Dawn"..
If you want to know why I spend my life and energy, ask my Muse. Careful, she gets bitchy...
I remember telling Chris a good while back, when he interviewed me for the AO Pdocast, that my second labum was going to be a return to my musical roots..or words to that effect..it ended up being anything but! I then went on to produce an album of somebody else's work remixed..so this next album I'm currently working on will be the one I was referring to during that interview with Chris.
My point is that the "Muse" always has a mind of her own, no matter who well planned out you think you have things..sometimes you're going to end up at a totally different place to where you expected to. Actually, I believe most projects have a certain amount of this uncertainty to them in varying degrees.
And that need to create that you mentioned..ditto on that, too..always have that "need" to produce on a daily basis, though what I end up with at the end of each day might now be all that musical.
