I’ve just barely completed a post contemplating my progress at the half-way point, and suddenly two thirds of the month are gone!  I suppose it is time to stop examining my progress and actually make some…

To that end, I have continued work on the rather epic track which still rejoices in the title “sketch8″.  It now has lots of lyrics (assorted musings on the theme of “time” appropriately enough – no prizes for guessing where the inspiration for that sprang from!).  In fact there is a short section of lyrics which I would like to include but which doesn’t fit into the music as it stands at the moment.  I’m happy with the structure leading up to the end, right up to the lovely little accident that makes up the last few seconds, but I am not at all averse to squeezing a few more lines into the middle somewhere.  The song is only eight minutes long at the moment after all, so there’s definitely room for more in there somewhere.

Here is a chunk from somewhere near the end which I have been working on this evening:

sketch8-2

Some nice heavy riffs, with the vocals still conspicuously absent at this point.  Much of that part is supposed to have vocals on it, but I haven’t recorded any yet, so it doesn’t.

(Listening back to that, the synth is much too loud during most of that part.  Try to pretend it isn’t for now and I’ll fix it later!)

To be continued…
