Mark Tiddy’s Blog & Website - Thoughts of a Christian Youth Worker & Musician

So I’m currently in an annoying inbetween time between shifts at Haven, I finished at 3ish and I’m back at just gone 7 tonight….thus leaving me a gap in the middle big enough to get tea but to not do a lot else…so in boredom I am installing windows 98 ‘virtually’ in my mac….It means I can run some of my older games on my apple mac without poising my mac with a unvirtual windows installation!

My summer goal of recording 14ish songs seems to have expanded to 17 tracks which have almost everything except some drums and vocals recorded…although 3 of those tracks are complete and mixed…when they’re all done i’ll add a download to the ‘My music’ page and maybe even the option of buying the recordings…might as well make some money for my efforts!

It’s been fun yet challenging recording that many tracks, trying to write new guitar parts, thrasing out the songs to decide if they’re good enough to record and tweaking odd lyrics have been part of the process along with finally finding a guitar sound I like when recorded…I’ll keep you posted on the songs tho, i need to do some vocal sessions next week….and then perhaps spend the following week mixing!

I now have less than 3 weeks until I return to Peterborough, summer seems to have shot by so fast I don’t know where it’s gone!
