Life and stuff

11 North is coming to an end. Just have to mix Fire in the Ward and some other little things, like make my harmonies at the end of Christian Girl less experimental (off-pitch). In the meantime I've recorded the double album follow up to 11 North on the external mic of my new lap top (thanks mom and dad)! I've devised a new method of writing songs which consists of writing the beginnings of songs and then recording this and making up lyrics for the end parts. Sometimes it works (like on this Alexander Hamilton song I wrote) and sometimes it just ends in me mumbling words like "fjksf gjdhjfuhg sjfdhufg these words suck" like on this "Will There Ever Be Anyone" song. Either way, it's cool.

Also not working anymore. And going to Paris and Dublin next week. That should be fun.

11 NORTH!! AHAHAHAHA

We are so close to being finished mixing it's not even funny (thus the AHAHAHAHA of excitement and awe in the subject and not the HAHAHAHA of laughter). We've mixed all the songs but one. I can't believe how professional the songs sound. The instruments are really to die for. I've learned one important thing while making this album: the tenor sax can do anything.
