Out of interest, what kind of music do/did you write Craig? I don't think I've heard anything by you, or have I?



In addition to voice-over work, I did two completely different types:  Rock and trance.  I lost most of my finished work (and all my trance) when I put them on a new type of media for safekeeping (a Panasonic CD/PD - supposed to be secure for 40 years) prior to reformatting and reinstalling.  Ever heard of a PD?  Exactly...  Years of work gone.
 
Since that happened I mostly played for fun and/or with friends.  I've got some songs that were collaborations with a guy in the UK and a singer in Belgium (we called ourselves Mushroom Farm after the first song we did).  The format was this:  The guy in the UK picked the name of the song then I had to write lyrics to go with it (NOT easy with the choices he came up with - lol!).  One of us created the initial format and/or a riff (he did all the lead work).  It went from there until we were ready to get Bouke (our singer) involved or other help.  I really had to work on Bouke's English since the only style he knew was Country with all the usual twang and warblings.
 
Here's Mushroom Farm: http://www.nwdreamer.com/download/mushroomFarm-ReMastered.mp3
 
And, the wonderfully immature, Spanking the Monkey: mushroom-farm-spankingthemonkey-REMASTERED.mp3
 
Finally, here's a work in progress, where I'm playing all the instruments.  Apologies in advance for the drums, I had only been playing them for two weeks and it shows!  http://www.nwdreamer.com/download/Berry-Jam.mp3
 
 




All sounds great, at least they do through my cans. Very good production. Spanking the Monkey has a Zappa sound to it that wouldn't have sounded amiss on something like You Are What You Is.

That little part where the banks stole everything I had and I'm still looking for meaningful work.

Your priorities are wrong.  Use the laptop for games.  Problem solved!  



If you tell me how I can cram my three GPUs into the laptop, then maybe ... if I also manage to watercool it, so it is just as silent as the desktop :P (Too many hobbies .. Games, Rendering and Sounds :P).


Fill bath with COLD water (maybe add some ice, just to be sure..)
Place laptop in bath.
 
Instant water-cooled, silent laptop...

My desire to eat and live under a roof have trumped my desire to make music for the moment so I just have to be content with tapping out a rhythm on things with my fingers. 
 
I'll be back at it someday, probably starting with some computer only program like Reason until I can buy new gear.

Craig , it is all good We all have to make choices and sometimes things have to be put on hold until a better situation has been created ...I've been where your at and I'm not judging your choices ...
I hope you get back ..that's all ...

Love it, Jonesey! No studio is complete without a plastic bin full of cables. But yours is SO neat!

How many of you did a little "tidy" before taking these photos? Admit it.

I was just thinking about taking a photo of my little space. Then I started thinking about how much "little tidy" I would have to do first...

I notice a conveniently located box of tissues in Jonesey's pic.
 
I must admit... if my setup was that sweet I'd probably need a box of tissues handy as well.
 
...
 
What?
 
I mean for... uh... tears of joy!
 
...
 
yeah... that's the ticket.

This is my current setup:

 
The one thing I need right now is a new desk. I had to move my studio monitors off for now and I need to have them placed so I can get the rest of the room treatment up but can't do that without the new desk. Problem is I can't find a carpenter to do it. I guess they are opposed to making money.
 
This is the desk I want built with some minor modifications:

Don't discount attachable monitor holders!  I've used them a few times and they're great for getting either video monitors or mixing monitors (using the older style with Aura pads) off of your desk.

I was suffering from a nasty bout of man 'flu when that was taken.
 
As for tidy, you should see the back of the room!!

I have a 49 key controller on a keyboard trey, which I tuck under the desk when not in use. I do have a big 88 key, with tons of knobs and sliders, but it ended up in the storage closet. I prefer the convenience of the 49.

 
What keyboard controller is that???  I have the same desk and would love to find a 49-key keyboard that would fit on the tray.

Hi
 
Mine is dusty and out of commission right now ... it will wake up about a week after March 11th or so.

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!
