In the Music

I mentioned a while back that I intended working with my decks again as I thought it to be a useful medium for exercising the mind, whilst not being too strenuous and also music being a good energy to work with.

I set the decks up a while ago and they have been waiting for me.  I am not quite there yet as I am waiting for a piece of equipment to arrive to complete the picture but a recent conversation has prompted me to start listening to some of my old work, having taken an age to dig out my CDs.

Like most people I am critical of my own work and it is always difficult to focus on its merits at the time that you produce it because one tends to focus on the flaws. Having listened back to it with the barrier of time between me and the work, I have to say that I have enjoyed being near it again. 

The music I worked with was very uplifting and has done wonders for my mood.  The funk is returning!

It is a gentle hobby that should help to lift my energy levels and still provide me with a challenge, so it is onwards and upwards on this front.

A good friend of mine "The Sound Man" who I used to DJ with has offered me the opportunity to play in front of several thousand people next year in May, but in a genre of music that is slightly out of my comfort zone.  However, that is something to focus on.
