I am writing this note here at 6.30 am !
Why?
Because I woke up to some noise at 1am - and that was it !
This doesn't happen all the time but on this occasion I could tell there was no way I was going to get back to any kind of sleep.
My mind was too busy. The old hard drives were buzzing.
So - I have learned to get up and do something postive.
Went and hit my little studio room for 4-5 hours. I figured I would just exercise my right to goof around in there !
There are plenty of thing on the "list of to doos " in that studio, but hey ! This was the middle of the night! And surely you can make up your own rules at this time of the morning? *throws away any thought of achieving any set tasks of the task list...
So instead I have just written a couple of little pieces...
Dont know if they're any good? But sometimes you just gotta give yourself permission to write, right ?
The only other times I get up early to hit the studio is when I wake up at 4 or 5 o'clock - mostly this happens when I'm mixing an album project.
I figure if i wake up thinking about the mixes, there's no point lying there pretending not to think about them...... may as well go get into it and finish 'em .....!! Try and sleep after that eh?
Maybe it's 'just not right' ...And NO... it's not in any way a matter of too much coffee... cause that beverage - my dear friends - has never once passed these lips !! *cue gasping / astonished crowd noise sound fx... "WHAT? call the groove police and have that man arrested"
Anyhow..
sometimes it hits you...
and:
so maybe sometimes you gotta hit back!
Sleep vs two new songs?
yawn / stretch
good morning / night !
