This past week was a surprisingly quiet one at Ghost in My House Studio. I wasn't able to teach my Monday lesson in Decorah because the snow-storm started early and made me want to get on the road home before dark.
The snow continued through Tuesday forcing me to stay home from work. Besides a fair amount of shoveling I continued working on new songs and spent a portion of the day cleaning and reorganizing the studio. With such a small space, every items needs to have a place.
I was back at work Wednesday and only got a little time in the evening to work on some new song ideas.
Thursday was spent working as well and I headed over to Blooming Grounds in Winona to perform a solo-acoustic set with Adja Gildersleve and Corey Koehler. The show went pretty well, there is no P.A. there and it is actually pretty fun to play directly to a small audience with no amplification, seems a little more relate-able somehow and the audience can hear the lyrics better.
Friday I had the day off and thus had some time to mix "Each & Every Night", from the forthcoming Brillant Beast debut album. Also, finished up mastering the songs I have so far for that project. In the afternoon I spent a little time working on a bizarre video to promote Animist that is viewable below.
My wife and I spent the whole day Saturday installing some laminate floor in the upstairs bedroom. It came out good but we have been sore for the last couple of days.
Besides giving a lesson Sunday afternoon, the rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Spent the majority of it recovering from the flooring project and hanging out with the wife.
