I got up a little late, as I stayed up til about 4am watching cartoons, but it’s not a bad thing. I awoke ready to get to it, found inspiration from the smoke alarms going off as I burnt my sausages for lunch/breakfast “Beep, Beep, Beep” two seperate alarms going off making crazy rhythms. When I write music I always eat terribly, I usually have whats called my “sweet box” it’s a large box which consists on Peanut M&M’s. Malteasers, Haribo and loads of other chocolate. This is so I don’t have to get up and do normal things like cook food, eat food, clean up after food and it’s the only time food is allowed in the studio. MMmmm Sugar.

So yes it has been a very productive day and will probably get back to it in a little while. Tracks “The Girl From The Future” and “Turn Me On” are underway very pleased. “Turn Me On” uses some of the lowest notes possible on the chips I am using and it’s exactly how it is in my head. “The Girl From The Future” is quite an ethereal euphoric spiritual chip tune? Is that too much? “Segue 56 Panic Buttons” is pretty much done, will just need to be mastered and tested.

All my music undergoes quite alot of testing. Theres the ipod test (does it sound good on a ipod), the car test (does it sound good in a car), the cheap headphone test (does it sound good in cheap headphones) it’s just to get the balances all right, and if you can make something sound good in cheap headphones you know you have something.

Things might seem to be moving fast in terms of how I do an album, but it’s the way my mind works. I usually build up songs, beats or just ideas in my head over several months and then I just, pour it out of my brain in one go, it’s like a stew. I had the song for “Turn Me On” in my head for about four or five months, just playing on the jukebox in my head.
