At the moment, I am fielding a minor depression which has been brought about by the end of the project I’ve been on for six months – which has gone well, it’s just that saying goodbye to your babies is hard, as any parent knows.<\/p>\n
It’s not been the best six months of my life – including as it did a major health scare – but it has been a fantastic time creatively. Me, my mates, my music, my microphone, my melodica, and my Mac.<\/p>\n

It’s something to do with the motherboard, not the disk, not the RAM, not the peripherals. I have fixed macs for other people enough to know that it’s Back to Base for this baby.<\/p>\n
There are five songs on there I need to rescue, so I’ll be praying for a disk-swap song-retrieval success story in the next few days. Otherwise I’ve lost at least a month’s work and then I’ll be considering selling up and moving to Chile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
