Allright a few hours of down time now, I'm dumping out long due journal entries and typing up a status report. 

Btw, this is me, pictured, during the long stretches in the lab, thanks to HM for shooting the pic. I'd like to point out that I myself personally NEVER use paper, except for... you know. I was just holding the print out for her recording reference sheet.

My lab is located in a huge abandoned office building, I'm at the end of a massive, deserted cubicle area. There is no heating in the building since the offices are empty, so the studio gets pretty chilly, especially now with the first snow. That is why I am wearing a scarf.

By tomorrow night (Sunday) I will have killed more than half of my darling babies. I will also get the first final look on how the Unicorn will turn out content-wise. Very very exiting, I have a 22nd sense that Unicorn will be a killer album, and by tomorrow I will know for sure. I will also know the massive amounts of editing to be done.

I've spent the last few days finishing demos and making necessary changes to tracks, and now I'm taking a step back. Trying to get a birds eye perspective, getting some feedback from a few selected people. The cruel babykilling commences.

Chop, chop, my babies. But fear not, there might be use for my little ducklings. The last few weeks there have been a crazy amount of requests for licenses, productions and commissions.

Check out my current desktop pictured. (Not the studio G5, the ever-present GMMffairs Powerbook.) I try to organize and clean it up every other day or so, anything on the desktop is "current". I'm usually pretty structured and organized, or try to be, and having a desktop like this for me means a lot.

Why is the world connected like this; either nothing happens for ages, or everything happen at once? I'm not complaining, just observing the typical pattern of "busy makes busier". Looks like I might be doing some production music work for NRK 1, the main channel of the official Norwegian television network as soon as the album is done. (Yep, in super social democracy Norway we have a state owned TV network. Like the Beeb.)

I don't think I'll have time for Christmas this year. And I am very happy about that.

Did you notice that Zebra 2.2 post? What if you remove the dot from the version number? I tell you, the stars are lining up for Unicorn.
