Dreams. I used to have wild fantastic adventure dreams, or jeopardy dreams or alien invasion apocalyptic dreams. They were somewhat exhausting but not too frequent. Recently though my dreams are very different. Dear departed friends in ordinary situations and much like waking life in there flavour. I have had a lot of those recently. Perhaps it is a subconscious wish that things were the way they were again? They are more tiring though than the fantastical adventure movie type dreams and rather more disturbing. Perhaps they are simply a different manifestations of anxiety dreams? I have some concerns about things at present. I have always been prone to expecting things to go wrong, and still tend towards a mildly pessimistic outlook which is difficult to shake off. I am not an intellectual\/academic or aspire\/have pretensions to be one. I write and play music, mine and other peoples. I actually don’t want to pontificate too long on the woes of the world. Particularly as I get older I find.And the world is getting more woeful just at present it seems.
As I write this its a very quiet Sunday afternoon. I have worked on a piece of music I am recording for an hour but not much else. My various band projects are still a little stalled but moving forward slowly but they are still happening at least. I do miss the routine of regular gigs I used to have, but as they say that was then but this is now. I do find the loss of that regular pattern of weeks and weekends has drained my spirit more than somewhat now. The adrenaline flowing from playing and performing is not something I have experienced for a while except in a couple of odd and fleeting moments. So at present I am drifting around feeling permanently half asleep and have been the last couple of weeks. I feel as if I have used up all my supplies of adrenaline. Also I have virtually no motivation to do anything. Mostly I am not anxious which is good at least, but I do feel fatigued. Maybe something is out of kilter, though it could just be bad sleep?
I tried Dolby re-mastering on a song I recorded 2 years ago and I am pleasantly surprised with the result:
