This is the Muse songbook... travels everywhere I do.
As boring as travel can be and as lifeless as airports can appear they create one key element: solitude. That solitude is enough to immerse yourself in music, mood and inspiration, apparently. I’ve been traveling like a madman for the last couple months and, muse inspiration in tow; I’ve been able to write 5 new, really nice pieces of music.
I’ve actually been brushing up on music theory and chord sequencing (very atypical for the guy who’s never taken any formal training in guitar and couldn’t read music to save his life) in the meantime as well and the accompaniment should be pretty cool. It’s a long assembly line from paper to production, but the hardest part is creating the story. And, due to my immense amount of solitude lately, I have a lot of story.
I’m having a hard time calling the ball on the Muse album. I’ll finish this bout of air warfare and see where we stand. Muse may be coming soon.
