I don't even know.. I had 0 motivation for music creation this week. Didn't start throwing around ideas until Friday when I recorded all these guitar riffs. Saturday morning I realized I had 4 riffs, no structure, no flow.. ugh. Straight out of bed I scored out the real recordings for midi and tried to get some rough structure down. Family is over from interstate so lost the rest of the day. I realized I wouldn't have time to nail performances + mix, especially considering I had no structure - Would have to re-record if I decided I needed to change transitional notes/chords etc.

Gin mixing masterclass on Sunday was great - but no time for music . Managed to dump out a first mix that night, went for 4min but otherwise wasn't horrific. Straight out of bed this morning, managed to cull 1min, and add a bit more life to the track.

Struggled hard this week, need a more proactive approach. Not always going to be motivated, but I guess that's one of the challenges! Ultimately pretty happy with the result. It's pretty catchy.
