It is becoming a daunting process attempting to collect any relative thoughts as the deprivation progresses. At 22 hours in, we are currently sitting in the university common room relaxing after what was a draining exercise of musical capability. After what has been a day spent predominantly within the studios, confined to two rooms, the process of jamming (beginning at 3am - 31/3) has taken its toll on the both of us. For what is usually an enjoyable experience, delving into a vast array of both genres and time-signatures, turned quickly into a draining process, sucking all fun out of the experience.
At this current moment in time I find the experience of drifting in and out of tired states to have become a peculiar aspect of musicians creativity. Through the different states, creates different personalities, causing a continuos battle between these new found personas; this is specifically seen within the first jamming session. Although both myself and Luke usually vary in styles, the process of playing together created an interesting mixture of relaxed atmospheric music, coexisting alongside heavier rock songs, a process which was heavily affected by how I felt minute to minute. Even within the first day, as time progresses the attitude dependent on energy, can drastically effect the outcome of the performance.
We shall chug along with the hope of reaching our goal of 72 hours!
