Went to the library the other day to validate the use of their free parking for the 3 Rivers Festival. Picked up 3 books:
-How to Play Popular Piano in 10 Easy Lessons
-GarageBand for Mac OS X
-The Creative Art of Garnishing
The last one was just because recently I've had a hankering to make bento lunches and wanted to make them look... prettier.
(Ha ha, that is one of the best things about being a woman: you don't have to worry about defending your masculinity. Women can listen to fruity music, decorate food 'n stuff, and just plain act silly with sheer impunity.)
Anyway, I've been wanting to tinker around with audio loops and voice recording for future projects. Since Newgrounds isn't that originality-savvy (judging from portal entries), I figure that slapping together some loops and plunking out notes here 'n there will be adequate for my needs. The main exception is if/when I start on the really important projects. Then I'll hire(?) someone experienced to do the mixing.
Until then...
