Mad Hatters' Review #3 - now online
The headline says it all - Mad Hatters' Review Issue 3 is now online and features lots of cool and strange words, pictures and noise, some of which were by me (you can check the about page for information about my contributions).
Motivation: not something I possess in abundance. My average output for music used to be - oooooh - maybe one track every six months. I'd regularly faff about with some beats or riffs but actually finishing a track? A rare occurrence indeed. So agreeing to compose stuff for Mad Hatters' Review was a good move in terms of getting off my fat arse and actually composing. Since starting work on the first issue at the beginning of the year, I have now written 15 pieces of music. Fifteen! I think that may be more tunes composed in the last nine months than I had written in the preceding five years.
It is definitely good to have put myself in the position of working to deadlines. Plus, I'd be letting a lot of people down if I didn't deliver: the shame of that would devastate me.
So, thank you Carol Novack, MHR's illustrious founder and editor, for convincing me to do it.
Now, go read the fucking thing.
