First Downtime Live Album finished
Holy cow. While I was away, Theo & Michael Coggins finished the first Downtime Live Album.
Wow.
Big ups to Ben for mastering.
Not online yet. Well blow me down.
Guess we'd better crack on with the studio album.

Big ups to FOTB Dion, Kamaia, Marika and all the folks in Lismore who put us up. Long story, longer drive.
Special shout out to Dave Wray for graciously letting me sit in on a gig on Sunday.
Additional shout outs to Wendy H for allowing us the use of her place to film in.
A big shout out to Alan H, our engineer from Spacejunk and long time film mentor. A heck of a story. rest first. Talk later. Downtime Season 3 wont be starting for a few weeks, new gigs out in public, Downtime Album pretty much finished, other album in progress. Nap time.
This whole show. It's chaos.
Hopefully Theo will have finished the Downtime Mixing tonight. I have been on/off/on/off again with a few different things. Victoria is going back to COVID lockdown and you just never know when things will be on.
Or off.
I can't tell.
Episode of Downtime tomorrow, 2nd last for season 2. We'll try and end with a banger for the last show of the season. Whenever we do that.
More live shows coming up (maybe?), more work on the Studio Album (definitely) and we almost got a vieoclip made recently.....Maybe....
Variability is a factor :) Trying again.
Things are definitely speeding up again. The network errors were...sort of fixed.
Telstra (our ISP) has connected us to the National Bucolic Network and so far, so 'meh'.
Patience means not getting mad when they are confused, tell me stuff that doesnt seem accurate and then fix the wrong problem.
Meanwhile - in other news:
Theo, Master of the Mastering
Theo is moving through mastering and mixing issues for the Downtime Album. Nice.
How long until it's finished? When he tells me, I'll tell you.
Song Development
We opted to work on new songs after we canned Downtime for yesterday. "Strange Pleasures' and 'Solace' are moving to the next stage.
I am still stuck on lyrics for 'Devils Preacher' and 'Brujo' (oh well) and there's more stuff to come. We gotta keep up with our mates in Space Engineer!!
New Live Shows In Public
Fortress Oz is opening up and we have shows in public again. So check the calendar if you feel like joining us.
Things are so bad with our Telstra (our local ISP) that they put me through to someone...on shore.
Yes, despite the valiant efforts of very kind people who are not here, it looks like someone who is in the country will have to sort this one.
I am waiting to see if we swap the session for some more song development and or recording. Might stream that live maybe possibly might do. We could. Hmmm. I have spent much time on hold :) Time for a cup of tea.
