Change
Have just spent some time tidying and sorting my studio room getting it from 'full on recording mode' to 'civilised and tidy' mode. The pedals have all been put away, leads coiled up and stored and the place is vaguely habitable again as a place to sit without thinking that I should be recording music in here.

It's an odd feeling having finished my album... I'm glad it's done, but I'm now looking for 'the next thing'. There will be another recorded music project shortly - more details to come soon - but it will be far, far less labour intensive than Noise With A Purpose was. There may even be a few gigs in the Manchester area playing songs from Noise With A Purpose live, but even that isn't a big new project in it's own right.

I'm thinking it's time to move on to other things, though I have no idea what. Music will always be important to me, and I have no intention to ever stop playing guitar as it means so much to me, but... there's more to life.

Time to do other things than work, play guitar, record music and mess with technology I think. The PC that Noise With A Purpose was mixed and mastered on is being retired as a file server in the spare room, and my main computer is going to be my shiny, ultra-portable and efficient MacBook. It's very possible that this swapping of computers will be symbolic of a new approach to life. It's also very possible that that previous sentence was complete bollocks.

A repeat of a (very) in-joke that only possibly Steady will get: "let's see what's out there' :)
