any guitar players around?

We are really regularly on rehearsals now. Last Tuesday was really great. We worked hard on one song and we can say now that it’s quit finished (although a song will never ever be finished…) But we found out that we need a second guitar player. So if you wanna join us, write me a message :-)

recordings first step

We still have the unsolved problem of recording our sessions at the rehearsal room. So I took an hour of time and went to Musik Hug, which is my favourite music shop in Zurich. They always have very competent salespersons. What I basically wanted to know is what kind of portable recorders there are on the market at the moment. I know about the Edirol recorder – my singing teacher owns one. It has a really very good internal microphone but you can only do one track recording with that and I’d prefer to have at least two tracks.

Therefore, the Zoom handy recorder would be nice. It can record four tracks and it has a direct mic input.

There are even bigger ones with 16 tracks and even other solutions which need a computer, what makes it less handy but more exact to record even the drums.

It’s as usual with music equipment: there is way too much and way too many possibilities to take spontaneous decisions. And money is, of course, a factor as well. So I will sleep over it a few times and I will discuss it with my mates and hopefully find a quick and good solution.

there’s a soulmate for everyone

Caution! It’s gonna be very personal now. It seems that my whole life has changed. Or not my life, but me. It feels as if my old me has died and a new me has been born.

Around one month ago, I met a really special person. I defenitely met my soulmate! We came along so well, we understood each other from the first second on, just like no one has ever understood me. All the talks and discussions we had really helped me to understand even myself, who I am. And it helped me to leave my past behind, all the fears I had and start into a new and really crazy life. I mean, who the f** sets the rules? It’s every single person on it’s own. So why don’t I? … I do now… ;-)
