Things have been a little quiet over the past month, with the regular design job picking up steam, but nonetheless there is always news to report.
On the gig-side, last week saw the return of Rickard from Vibrasphere to Habitat in Calgary, and my god, what a show! Rammed to the rafters with a crowd that was very into things from start to finish. Darvin and then Jay had things going nicely when Rickard and I arrived, then wasting no time at all, Rickard proved why the name Vibrasphere is and always will be legendary as he ripped through a set of melodic prog that had smiles shining all over the place. And of course to finish things off, I managed to keep the regulars guessing and interested with a very unexpected set of ripping progressive psytrance - fun to play that stuff for sure.
The next day was spent recovering, watching Rickard trying to figure out my clothes washer, shooting up the Calgary tower, then concluding the day with a mandatory beer before seeing Rickard off to the airport for the next leg of his tour. It was pretty awesome to host someone who has to be one of the most humble, down to earth guys in the business, especially for someone of his stature. Pretty awesome indeed and it's safe to say Calgary looks forward to having him back once again.
On other fronts, with design work picking up, production has become the casualty and has slowed to a stand-still. However, with Rickard here, I had the chance to dive back in again (and better yet, under his watchful eye and critical ear). Working on a new track idea now that's sounding pretty good, and there's even talk of a collaboration with the aformentioned legend in the works...
Other than that, summer is coming which means a few big gigs on the horizon. None of which I can mention at this time, but they're coming. And, rumor has it that Reid, my agent at Hubvibes, is doing some ridiculous work on some massive opportunities for all the Hubvibes roster. Can't wait to see what comes of this.
Now back to work.
