Performed in “No Idea!” online improv show.
Was supposed to just be on for the music segment but the opposing team (from San Antonio) was a no-show so it turned into an intramural match. I had to do scenes and stuff. *facepalm*
Music segment was fun.

Practiced for “No Idea!” improv show on 12/3. Getting some chord progressions into my brain.

Released new “What’s In The Box?” mix

HH Musical

Reacquainting myself with the script. Reassessing where songs could/should go.
Began smoothing out lead female character’s arc. It changed slightly throughout the first draft process so I needed to tweak a few lines.

Finished up the remix of the bastardized What’s In The Box? album – now featuring the best of all three albums I recorded around 1999-2000.
I’m done writing the new “Winter Song” which, given the state of the world, is looking more like a solo song. Hope to start recording it this week.

Several months ago I tinkered with mixes of songs from 1999-2000.
I spent yesterday and today putting a final coat of polish on them.
Not sure exactly how I will release them. It’s kind of a best of 3 albums.

Worked on “Winter Song” just a bit. Settles on the tempo. Printed up a lyric sheet.
Planning to lay down rough guitar and vocals tomorrow so I have building blocks I can use for cutting and pasting an arrangement together.

Completed writing what had been Europa Irish Ballad
Now it’s called “Winter Song” but even that could change
Not sure why I’m tagging any new material as EoS. I mean, when and how?
Anyway, feeling good about finishing a song.

Adam Rabin solo

Started practicing acoustic tunes in earnest for possible livestream shows.
Looking forward to new challenge and something ephemeral to focus on.
I’m thinking I’ll just do a few songs at a time, see how it feels.

Chris Titchner

Mastered a 6-song EP of live recordings he made 21 years ago.
I think I mastered a couple of those tunes back in the day but not the whole set.
Also designed the digital cover.

Have spent the last week remixing the Home Away From Home album.
So much energy in this album that needed a little help to be heard.
Should be done in the next day or two.
