Lauantaita

It's been a nice day. Weather is a bit cool and I feel fine. Autumn draws near. I like September.

Earlier today I needed to find a MIDI-cable. I knew that there is one in a not so clean closet - so I cleaned the place and found what I was searching for - the MIDI-cable. Then I connected my Yamaha keyboard to Korg N1 SynthModule and began fooling around with my fingers. N1 is quite an old synth but it still got some very good sounds - and I found one of them. Some playing and I a nice little, actually pretty childish melody was born. I wrote it down on paper. Then I loaded Pro Tools and recorded couple of keyboard tracks. The actual melody I played with soprano recorder. And then I added some counter melody with Yamaha WX5. And of course there is a lots of improvising involved... So all this means: cleaning can be a creative process, at least it can be very helpful... Thus Etelan reipas mies yojunassa (= Vigorous Man from the South in a Night Train) was born.

Machine Men are having a break with their recording sessions. Eight pieces of music they've done thus far. Later in Autumn they'll record some more and mix the whole. Up to now everything's gone well.

Sini is soon coming back from Helsinki and the day gets even better.
