It has been a couple of months since the last update.
A lot of the time I have had for music has been taken up with finishing the writing for the new Hair Thieves EP. This has now been done. Though I have one song to mix for the EP, we are currently having a couple months off, due to festival season and house moves.
So I am hoping to finish A Winter's Memory this month. Musically and lyrically it is complete. I need to add one more part to the arrangement. Re-record the vocals and it is ready for mixing.
It isn't a million miles away from the demo.
I have tweaked the piano, to add some variation. Changed the tempo a bit. Added a middle 16 (which is where I need the new part). Just noticed the demo doesn't have the drop d guitar part in the choruses. It was recorded before the bass part, so it should have been on the demo.
I was also hoping to re-record Tabanid, as the b-side, but I trawled all my songwriting notes and cannot find any notes on how to play it, nor the lyrics, so that does mean me revisiting the song from scratch.
Essentially, I can see me ditching the music and starting again musically with this.
So I am in two minds whether to ditch Tabanid for the moment and use Sour Grapes and Sweet Lemon Mechanism for the extra tracks on this release.
My thinking for that is also that Sweet lemon mechanism is quite electronic which at the moment might be out of place on an album. But without finishing more of the album, it is too early to say.
So that is a problem for another day.
In the meantime, (whist looking for the Tabanid tab) I came across a set of chords. So I have started writing a new song. So seventeen tunes on the go. I may be sometime.
