T I M E

RPM has been a wonderful tool this year but alas I have been defeated once again by time. I have written new songs and assembled a great working home studio set up that is going to prove invaluable when it is time to get back to writing new music but right now I need to turn my attention to finishing my second EP. My recording window has just been brought forward and I absolutely have to get it done and get it out. It is written and has been written for some time but like I did with Mannhunter I am going into a ‘professional’ studio to re-record the vocals. Everything else is pretty much tracked and of course I’m aware the arrangements will no doubt change somewhat once David gets his hands on it. I am working on a plan where the EP will come free when you but my T-Shirt but we’ll see what happens. For now you can enjoy this -

Fire Walk With Me

David Lynch has been on my mind an awful lot of late. Twin Peaks has become an almost nightly pleasure and valentines day this year was made all the more special by a romantic screening of Blue Velvet. I find his characters so exaggerated that they seem almost too human. Sometimes they are more real to me than the people I know. The patience in his scripting, in his directing and perhaps most importantly in his plot development were at first odd, strangely out of place in the fast paced existence I experience from day to day. However, when I started to break my life down into its component parts I discovered that I am just as patient in my delivery, my actions and my achievements as Agent Cooper. Life is slower than you think. I don’t walk around with a dictaphone talking to an illusive ‘Diane’ figure and I don’t work for the FBI but I research almost all of the time. I am always looking for clues. Not sure what exactly I hope to find but I will be sure to let everyone know when I find it. Remember though – The owls are not what they seem.

ELAiNE

FYI – I’ve no idea who or what ELAiNE is.

Today I am mostly playing Skyrim, mostly.

VO UE

RPM. So far so good. Two songs written and vaguely recorded. Turns out it’s an RnB record. Who knew? Managed to get the software version of a Juno II and it is awesome! Never going to use another synth in my life. Fire, walk with me. Album is called VO UE (at the moment). I’m watching Twin Peaks and The American Office in between recording so I feel very strange. Contemplating this for the artwork -
