I bought the dogs a bed for the studio so they could chill there while I'm recording. Here's how that's going.

See if you can make out the castle on the horizon. I walked for 45 minutes and saw exactly 0 people.

Legendary MOTU tech support means we're back up and running. While the Trident is in for repair, we're running everything through two sets of Warm Audio WA-412 mic pres and they are just fantastic. So much so that I'm thinking of finishing this record without a console.

Audio interfaces are on the fritz (or maybe it's just the cable), but it's sunny out finally, after a month of rain, so I'm commemorating the occasion with a balcony photo while I await tech support. Hi.

We've had two weeks of virtually endless rain. The city is inaccessible due to the Fallas festival. So we're stuck here, indoors, on the mountain. Kinda cosy.

2 parts rooibos, 2 parts licorice, stem ginger, rosehip, and fenugreek seed. Makes you pee like a racehorse but it's a great, robust, all-day blend. My new hobby.

It's been a two-year battle with flooding from an exterior wall and broken sewage lines (!) but it's thundering down outside, I just flushed, and we're dry, cosy, and ready to record! 🎸💪🎉

This swimming pool cement is supposed to last for 20 years, exposed to the elements. We're gonna cover it with fibre paint before filling the trench with shingle and putting a drain cover over to keep the studio dry during March monsoon season. Will it work? 😬

Alright and we're back in action. Got ye olde pal Michael Troutman aka Weirding Module here for a visit. We might even make some music in this thing.

The rug is almost dry, the floor is almost fully painted with membrane. Tomorrow, we'll have a French drain installed outside and new tar sealant laid under the exterior tile trim. I hope that will be the end of the problems and we can pursue actually recording music in this space once again.

After three weeks of post-"waterproof" cleaning and reorganising, my studio flooded at first rain. Yes, I'm firing the builder, but only after he puts in the French drain. For now: membrane painting.
