Sorry I just had to acknowledge that. I've written more, but I deleted a bunch of them because a lot of it was "Ah, I'm a teenager, I hate the world, my parents are crazy" blah blah. But the number of posts is at 100. And what a great way to end the year.
My project technically isn't over until I get it on Bandcamp I suppose. To be honest though, I've just spent this last week being lazy and embracing the fact that I have free time. I taught myself some calligraphy.

| I started out writing European countries, but then I thought that was being prejudice, so I wrote the names of all sorts of countries. Also I love seeing the names of such turbulent countries in beautiful text. Sounds like a great idea for a FOT piece of art. |
Since I'm getting sort of a "second life" with this album, I've been using this as a chance to rewrite Type 5, the song I dislike, and do it better. For that song, I've experimented a little bit with counterpoint. At the moment it's a completely jumbled up mess, but hopefully I'll be able to get things together before I leave for sleepaway camp.
Also, I want to revise a few parts, redo some vocals. I am not that great at singing. I really don't know why. Perhaps it's an issue of confidence, but whenever I sing I don't feel, legitimate? At this point I am completely fine with everything else, but I don't know what to do about that. I took some singing lessons briefly but I don't think I learned all that much. Maybe I just need practice. In our society, it always seems like only those with beautiful voices have permission to sing. This makes me sad, because I think singing is fun and we should all sing regardless of our vocal abilities. But I digress.
It's really important I get this on bandcamp. A bunch of friends and people I know who don't live near here want copies, and I need to start getting my name out.
Luke, when do you want to mix the album?
