Part 4

Recently I've entered part 4 of my course, as in 4 being the last part. It's not that I'll be leaving soon because I still have a second three month course waiting for me in September. But still, it's a strange thing to witness time passing by. This course ends end June, not really sure what's exactly gonna happen the months after..

On a minor note: I've managed to lose my jacket. I never-ever part from it because it contains the stuff that I really need, all contained in a little pocket robbers wouldn't find. It all seemed to be a sound plan I had going on until I forgot my jacket on the fence outside of college for a couple of minutes.. gone. Also gone: £15, ID card, credit card, keys to my flat.. you can imagine the things I wished upon myself the following hours.
It took me 2 hours to get into the flat, next I went through the hassle of blocking everything etc.
All done now, too bad I lost the jacket though, it was my favorite.


The fellows have come and are gone again. We had a nice recording session on Friday (until 5am), a good gig on Saturday (though they where pretty tired) an a lesser gig on Sunday. All in all, it's been a satisfying weekend. Photos should follow shortly.

In the meantime, I only have photos of me and W making Jamy Oliver's tomato pasta with meatballs (just like in the movies I'd say). Very nice.

Fellows

Next weekend the months I spend mailing/planning/calling every venue in town will finally result in a coherent event (at least I hope so). So without further ado, Proost Productions and The Fellows present:Will be completed with a recording session on Friday night, nice to catch 2 birds at once.

Full House

I finally battled of the ants and regained control over most of the territory including my laptop..
Actually, I've just been a bit busy, that's all.

I finally got to see some familiar Belgian faces! (After last's week family visits)

(first impressions)
(fitting four people in the common room)

(in the UK, breakfast is something to be taken serious)

That's about it on photos, we had more, but a camera got lost.. actually I'm going to search for it in china town London as we speak. It was great fun, there was a lot of English-speaking going on, something which my flatmates greatly appreciated. As always, over in a flash.
We had a 5 (!) hour pizza 'session' on Sunday, very nice, but a bit on the long side.
Pictures from a previous pizza evening:

(dessert, you have not really lived before you've tried this I'd say.. Brazilian dessert-pizza. Needless to say, Italians would kill me)

(excess dough -> bread)

Followed by a day almost without any food, for obvious reasons.


Also, got access to the post production room with the Icon desk and pro tools HD.

(anything you'd want more, really?)

Update: no camera to be found

Four Years. Go.

Please do me (and everybody else) a favor and visit
www.fouryearsgo.org

When you have a goal, you should really focus on it, go for it, do whatever it takes. You should go for it, the only way you can be stopped is when you die. It's that simple.

Now, what if you don't know what your goal is? How many people have a goal, need a goal? Do you need a goal? What is your goal? Is the net end-result always the same? 1/3-of-a-life crisis of some sort :)




I have the place to myself for a whole week (!), if the train of thoughts continues as it is..

Suspended animation

'animals de-animating, appearing death, while later being able to wake up again without being harmed'

Fiction? Nope.

Internet

It's funny when the internet connection shuts down.
You reconsider the amount of time you spend online. But also, you end up making way to healthy and complicated food with flatmates.


Of course, compensation is never far off. Fish & Chips. Often awful, sometimes amazing.

Recording Jack Green

I had to do a live recording (no editing/mixing afterwards!) down to stereo for an assignment. I got hold of Jack Green, a London band. Some pictures.

The band hadn't slept for 24 hours, dealing with
artists, not always the easiest thing.

(the usual mess)




(SSL-G Series, amazing)

The result:
If love comes calling - Jack Green by JudasProost
The bass should be a bit fuller, but quite pleased with my first 'live-recording'.

Pizza!

The real deal, not for the faint of heart.
Even with a pizza-mix it took us forever to figure out the paste consistency (more than an hour?). But we got it right in the end.

(before)

(after)

We made two. Best pizza I had in a long, long, long time. Tasted like the real thing.
