developments, some lyrics, and tentative plans

hey alls. some recent breakthroughs and developments have lead me to belive that at the very least, a 9(ish) song ep(?) will be released by the end of the summer. I'm staying down in columbia this summer so i'll be able to really focus on getting it done i feel like. Anyway, yeah it's going slow, school sucks but i'm not really in any hurry. Playing more shows might be on the horizon as well, the last one i played with my friend lawrence went pretty well.

some lyrics from last night

i sing a real song
to pass the time away
i wont forget
how much time it took
can you
take a picture
seal the time away
i wont forget
why im here
can i tell you
something?
i feel like
everyones impatient
my main goal is to
pass the time away

its been awhile

its been a quick minute since ive posted on here. ill give you a lil peek into the mind of a one "auntie drewline" and some aspirations of what i hope to accomplish this semester.
as you know im working on two things at once.
an e.p. which i have decided to call lifestream
and a record that i think i have decided to call "and literature's most devious evil doer"
these projects are over lapping but i work on lifestream more than almded at present 1) because i want it to be done first and 2) its sorta givin me a pain in the rear end. like i will be happy when im done with it just for the sake of being done. but i still like all the songs on it, its just a doozy and i need to get crazy sample city out of my system so i can start writing songs more.

quick note about the new setup! follow drewsnackin on instagram to check it out but yeah i have a professional mixer now. like one that has been used on multiple records: "portishead's Third" makes great use of it and i read they still use it live. its a yamaha dmp7 and i couldnt be more in love honestly. love everything about it. this is the first piece of intense gear ive gotten so now more than ever things just need to be gettin done. and potentially...if this thing was producing whole records and i have one, all the things could be done right?! i like to think so! so that gives me strength. but theere is one last thing i need to aqure before i can start get chopped an d scwreed. and that is a 15v power supply for some apple speakers i snaked of ebay for 40 bucks. so then ill have a decent board and some decent monitors and decisions will be made.

and im not saying i havent been workin on stuff guys! i have been. a lot acually, not only on my projects but a few buddys projects too. my dood vessel and i are rappin up a 8 track mixtape thats been in the works for it abit. its almost done. great practice! and my best friend in gradeschool sam recently started writing trip hop songs and we are going to start a postal service type collaboration thing and see where it goes. i just got the first beat so its time to start working on that. and my other dood lawrence and i are both going to try to make this sememster as productive as can be. to writing to singing to playigng to wahatever it doesnt matter. we just want to do it a lot  but things get in the way and we both understand that. but ima giv it my all for real.

some non music related news though to all interested parties.. i am 99 percent certain that i am posting up at mu to finish some form of a degree here. and coming to that realization over break felt liberating because now its not a question of "well if i just set this up here its getting taken down later soo thats sketch" or just having weird vibes in the place your making music cos you were thinking it wasnt permanatnt. and its not, but 2 more years is awhile and i like knowing that that space will be the space for that for the next 2 years. it kinda puts my mind at rest i guess. now if anyone has any suggestions of what i should do with my life feel free to let me know.!! PLEAE!!SEE!

and prolly the biggggest news!!
im going to post up a scanned writings from a myriad of books.
got a scanner for chrismas for alll you 6 people!! this is what youve been wainting for these rambles will take a backseat it is going to starttttt. hmmm every thursday. just cos i like thursdays. but ill prolly just load one up whenever i feel like it

just look at this if your mind needs any percent level of streess taken out.

some live stuff

revalation

i had a revelation last night. i took a break from the computer and i started to just mess with my samplers. this is what i should have been doing all along. things just change so fast, and nothings ever the same as i remember so i think its time for me to embrace that and make most of the music on the devices i have. i read that when brian eno makes his ambient music, hell have like more than 60 generations of tape hiss on some of the tracks, and the song i ended up making is kindof fuzzy, but everything works together so much better than on the computer. and its so much easier to mix. so i dont know what im going to do. im probaby going to start a three way between my computer my 404 and my su 200 and start cutting ties and making decisions or im never going to be done!

this is the only thing im certain of after last night,
more shows asap

here's this

Upload MP3s using free MP3 hosting from Tindeck.

but its back once again.

alright. uhhh

fuck. i think i need to acually realease a song or two. or just upload some stuff . goddam but its not done.

update

sooooo this record and lp ive been talkin about are kindof a long way off i feel like. so im gonna try and remix hd googles and this other acoustic thing real quick.

figured id put some writings here i mean..

sept 2 2011

in the light you saw the
town within the patterns
and structure beyond your favor

today you find a printed note
directed at you by a faraway center

when in fact its time, ill take
a wrinkle in mine, please

when its fact ill keep bouncing off my neighbor, to keep with
tradition.

why dont you leave a letter here?
why didnt you read my notes i
set, here.

-------------------------

i sing to my hearts distress
i collapse like the remaining
buildings from a different age

the beats on my lungs and my chest
send me to expand like when
you rush the morning tide

staring stops/another hand
now look ive gone got my
reluctance in a tangled knot
pulled by unseen hands

likeness builds on implication
the road to take, a new direction?

the time i find so interesting breaks
apart into something i feel so
indifferent lately.

i forgot the last thing i was saying
what were we talkin about?

------------------
the sameness rules around the
band of flash and fire a tape
ahead and face the dead wholl
never find what they are looking for

next to my buried deep down
desires crouches a slender monster
wholl tryll put your mouth in a coffin

then drip grains of sands till your
nothing hes patient

and waiting for nothing in particular
but then hell fucking grab you when you
pull the plug

its different, not knowing where youve been
but to wake up in the day and wonder
how long its been and deem it not gone and hum it along the
surmpassive stream
i dont work to find you floating in my dreams

i cant wait

oooooOOOoOOOoooOOooo

my plan..

was to release an e.p. before i released the record ive been working on forever. but yesterday when i was going thru and organizing all the tracks for the ep i realized that i had 9 of them. sooo basicly another record.. so now i dont know what to do. but just know that there will be 22 songs coming soon in the future!

i dont think i will ever sell my sampler

i get lost in this thing. i dont even have to make a song. sample collecting soothes my soul.

i think i finally made my cave

i worked on a song the other day that i decided was going to go on the record because i think i mDe a cave. if you dont know what i mean, listen to part two by sheep in wolf or ghost of books by avey tare and just imagine. im soo excited about this tune! too bad i cant work on it for like a week tho cos school is gonna be the front runner this week. all papers. tight.. anyway... yeah daft punk

reasons and excuses

i feel like the majority of the posts i have posted havent been acuall things. they all seem to be excuses or plans. but let me tell you what im doing. and some reasons why.

the reason its taking so long is because this is the first time ive made a "record" and everything is a learning experience. some examples:
when i started tracking i didnt even know what i was doing. honestly. looking back on some of these with the knowledge ive gained so far im just like seriously wtffoook. if you just would spent two more seconds doing levels i wouldnt have to go back and retrack it. so thats an issue, because im not releasing this until its completely done. and what i mean by that is that every sound you hear coming out of your headphones when you listen to it is there for a reason. not a meaningful one. just really because of how it sounds. and makes me feel when i hear it. but anyway, unlike the demos ive put out in the past where i would just record live st8 from the sampler and put vocals on it, now i can acually control each individual sound and place itd wherever id like in the mix.
most of the songs have more than 100 tracks. great.
i dont know what im doing ( in terms of mixing ) i feel like i have a pretty good handle on tracking, and getting a really nice level, but mixing is just about a billion times more complex than tracking. there are soooo many things to worry about. and so many compressors and eqs that need to be set that it just takes soooo much time. and since i have no clue what im doing and im sitting here starring a pile of tracks not knowing what to do or where to start and the thought of the task is so daughting in a way because of its fucking vastness that i just end up doing something else.

but. im getting better. and learning about it. so itll be done. i wanna get some practice in on some other projects before i jump into the recorddd one. and i kinda wanna let them sit for a little bit and then go back and see if theres anything that needs to be added or taken away.

and then i have to come up with a track order and do all the transisitions. ive never done transistiongs seperate than the song so it will be interesting.

it will happen. i havnt put this much time into something to not finish it... well fuck.. final fantasy 7.. fuck.

but some other happenings are that me and my friend lface and hopefully collin have started a band. we dont have a name yet, but weve got two ideas for songs and band practice tommorrow.

archetypes recorded their whole set after a summer of playing quite a bit on the 424. i just need to mix those and throw vocals. i should really just do that tom...i need a mic tho..

im writing a set of songs about stella irene bouregarde

backing stuff up is scary..

oh yeah.

works in progress. give myriad things some love.

revelation

ive been learning more about mixing the past few days. i feel like im getting a good grasp on the subject. i acually know what a compressor does now! and i learned where to start.
but i realized im afraid.
i feel like all of the elements are there, for the most part.
but i dont want to fook it up.

starting is still kind of a ways away tho i think..
i spent two hours yesterday just organizing 1 song. and there are 13.

and i still need to finish tracking and writing the ep. cos i want to mix that first before i mix the record.

the name of the e.p. is "lifestream"

laters

look at the landscape

do you remember
like i remember

you said you were leaving
and i kissed the songs of the day
behind
and bit my lips cos theres only one

i remember the one

i think im into deep
ill just wade in the water
feel it meld as i slip
into the realm of the lifestream

update

remember that record i kept talking about?
its not done yet.
but it almost is.

so im working on an ep to release before it.
its comin along.

lookin to play some shows in como this year so well seeee how that goes...
