Full swing 


I wrote two cues for "Due North" last night and then, this morning, I started tearing down the studio. 

It never fails to amaze me how complicated my studio has grown over the years. I even found a few cables I couldn't identify. I only hope they mean something when I set the gear up again.

I'm really not sure how I'm going to get everything in the van, though. It all seems much bigger out of the room.

So anyway, the move is now definitely in full swing. I packed up the living room a couple of days ago, the studio's completely disassembled, and my in-laws arrived tonight. A week tomorrow (make that today, now), the van will pull up. We had a bit of a scare earlier in the day when the moving company called to give us the number of the sub-contractor and also to remind us that we have to be there at the border with the truck. This is NOT what we were told when we booked them. Obviously, there's no way we can get there in time. (In addition to leaving two days later, we're going to have to make a lot of stops for the kids.) Anyway, it turned out not to be true, and the guy I talked to, Hakan, almost laughed when I asked him if they were bonded with Canadian customs - they're based in Vancouver! I knew the 604 area code felt familiar - I've been calling that area code over the last four years for work.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of the studio. By the end of tomorrow, the room will be empty (except for my in-laws who are using it as a guest room).



It really was a great room to work in. I'll miss it.



When I say I've got a lot of cables,
I mean I've got a lot of cables.


A wife's worst nightmare - gear invades the living room.



About halfway through.



Finished for the day.
