[edit: I should probably say it somewhere: I'm not a very accomplished performer so assume most if not all of the instruments on these tracks are faked with piano roll and plug-ins.Even when there's recorded signal, it is usually chopped, stretched, tuned and pasted to the limit.]

I've not really done much songwriting in the past few months, but maybe I'll do some now. I'm feeling a bit used up, but then sometimes that produces the most music.

I've been listening to more records recently, which has been nice.

I am toying with the idea of using fewer fake instruments than usual, in order to be more "grounded". We'll see how long that lasts...
