AMSTERDAM RECORDING |
 click to see larger  click to see larger | i have just landed in amsterdam after 4 days in new york of working non-stop. i am totally exhausted, not from the travel, but from the 24/7 schedule i just made to finish all my jobs and personal projects. now in amsterdam i am in the studio recording a cd. wow! this is so much work! my family don't really understand me...too much technology for them! they want me to come upstairs and sing with them in the sacred circles! but i only have these two weeks here in amsterdam to record and master 3 cd's! i feel really focused and introspective at the moment, and for me it's really nice to be at home and be able to record in the recording studio before going to milan to work. i have been working for 3 days straight 24/7, sleep 12 hours, work 3 days, sleep 12 hours, and now i am on a work from 10am - 5am, sleep from 5.30-9.30am schedule. that's working better for me. THEY BUILT ME A DESK WITH 2ND MONOTOR HANGING FROM THE CEALING THAT SWIVELS!!! my family is so amazing...they are so innovative! i told them i needed a desk and a second montor, and they built me exactly that, but better than i could ever have imagined! the monotor swivels so that when i am behind the recording studio computer, i can still see what's happening on my pc, and when i am in front of my pc, i can swivel the whole digi studio to see what's happening on the mac screne! so i am simultaneosly working on updating my website and journal page! last year, i organized to have built for my yogi, an entire recording studio. we have a digi 002, with a powerbook g4, 1.5 gh ram, 50mb hard drive, combo dvd drive, and all the digital and analog microphones and cables you can imagine! 4 mini discs, a mini disc sound studio, 2 sony portable dats, and many other gadgets. it's a pretty amazing studio and we are starting our own record label...so if you are a musician and would like to record with us...send over a mp3 of your voice in the shower and we will see what we can do! our main focus is sacred songs and spiritual grooves. many thanks to the brilliant sound engeneer, adam dreschner, who took his only vacation time of 4 days and flew from nyc to set it all up for my yogi, and teach us how to operate the softwear! my yogi's desire is to travel all over the world and take the equipment deep into nature and do recordings. now we are working on building an alternative power source using battery packs and solar pannels. if anyone has any experience with alternative power sources etc, please feel free to email me. i am swimming in this information (drowning more like it!) |
