Was in Brunswick today for a dentist appointment. Ended up wandering around afterwards. God I miss it. Maybe I'll head back in 6 months if all goes well with this job.

It makes coming back to where I live so depressing. My mantra for the last 6 months has been "all in good time".
And so it will be once again hopefully.

In other news, I found an amazing new Middle Eastern instruments library that will expand my compositions significantly. It doesn't have as many functions as my other one, but it has a wider variety of instruments and they sound good right out of the box.

Exciting, it is a lovely place. Can't wait for you to join me in listening to the local pop sing and dance on a Friday night lol.

Awesome about your instrument library! I love to hear anything you're willing to share! I really like the piece you shared last time, the one that was in your head for ages :D

Everything is coming up for you, friend! This is joyous, and you deserve every ounce of goodness that comes from it!!

Thank you so much โค๏ธ

Yeah it's been a crazy few weeks. I'm just keeping my head down and hoping for the best.

I grew up in Brunswick in 90's and it's changed so much. I've got a lot of memories running amok along Sydney road lol

It's definitely interesting these days. More lively for sure and as much as it's changed, its still got the old school Brunswick vibe. Especially past Blyth Street heading towards Coburg.

I had a gf on Blyth St in the 90s.

I love the area because it's not pretentious and everyone is friendly.

The Middle Eastern library sounds really exciting. Just thinking 2 of my fave bands use ME instruments in a fusion sound, Brian Jonestown and No Quarter

No quarter is fucking awesome! Otherwise for Egyptian folk is Om Kalsoum

All in good time, I like that.
