Four Years. Go.

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.

(K from Korea, I from Brazil)

Lifted

Sometimes, similar experiences..

Lifted Pixar from Gortas on Vimeo.

Not really,
92% on my final SSL-signal flow test!
High Score.

Let's go jogging

Why?

Because it's been a bl**dy long time
Because it's finally warmer than 4 degrees outside (12!)
Because I'd like to get rid of this cold
Because..

Alchemea recordings

Sometimes we end up as musicians instead of recording engineers, sometimes we end up as both, some of the early alchemea recordings:

Wel Hey (master) by judasproost

Recording from part I. Featuring me and TK
Re-recording an old song I once wrote.
-ROUGH MIXDOWN!-


Happy song (HD Mixed and Mast) by proosttom

Alchemea concept-recording, 'The one night band' song written in the moment.
Tim Wheeler on vocal/bas, Guy Dean on drums, Tom Proost on guitar/vocal. It's quite funny when English people do backing vocals on your Dutch lyrics..

I might end up making a more composed version of the same song later on, but for now..

NOT mixed/edited by me!!

Good fun.

Amazing mixing lecture last week, learned so much, feel like I have to re-do everything I've done..
