Just came across this interesting compilation... Kinda goes along with the "music inspired by" category of albums. In this case it would be music inspired by music videos clips that were made beforehand... I guess it's the opposite of how music videos are usually made.

I was almost going to just get in my Bora and drive to Cambridge to see DJ Krush perform... *SIGH* I have to meet with a client on Monday and I've promised to provide rides for snowboarders on Saturday, so I guess I can't... -.-;...

With my ears getting more and more sensitive to the quality of mastering tracks, I have to say that I was somewhat dissapointed at the final mastering quality of my latest work for Lunar Gala... As Erika tells me, people don't care about the sound quality... Well, the problem is that I do, and I strive to satisfy myself before anybody else. :P So my next step in my venture into the world of music is to analyze my favorite sounds... (i.e. finding the sound of a hihat with just the right amount of treble, the sound of a bass drum with just the right amount of bass, the sound of a car door slamming that gives me just the right resonance, etc... ) I hope I'll be able to at least get semi-good with mastering by the end of summer. ;) I don't have to be great, cuz I don't intend to become a recording engineer in any way... I just need to know exactly what kind of sound I want then I can just outsource the mastering.

I suppose my appetite for music is never ending... There's always so much to learn about everything. But as one of my good buddies (a gruaduate from Berklee) and I always agree, I will never lose focus on the music in its entirety. In the end music is art, not science. ;)

Had a major breakthrough today... Ha ha! My trance hymen has been ripped away... Uhm, no you got the wrong idea, man... I mean, I've stabbed a first attemp at a trance track today... So my "production hymen", I suppose... Well, it was to please Sam's urge to make his choreography fit to the theme of "buildup and contrast"... Man, don't I do everything to please you, Sam! :P

It's funny how this "Lunar Gala" thing has taken over my life (well, only during special time of the year, but nonetheless) for the past 4 years... I mean, it really doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Lunar Gala...It's the production of our lil bit... Working on music that's to be remixed specially for choreography, and working with a bunch of dedicated and passionate individuals... Those things are what drive me every year... As I approach the end of the semester my mind is still set to make this year my last, and I have to stop and think... "Will I ever be able to feel the same feelings again?" Food for thought...
