Jacob/Machine gives a bad explanation of why I haven't posted on MB in a while, and at the same time updates you on his music.
Over the last few months I haven't posted really at all on this site and it's really down to this one reason: I honestly don't think I have enough to say about anything. Instead I've been using RYM, checking through /mu/ for new music recs, etc., and whenever I would come back here nothing much seemed to had change at all; I felt like I wouldn't really be able to just ease back into the daily minutia of the site. I was right. It's weird coming back to a site where you used to be an extremely active member and see all the new people who are way more adjusted than you, you feel out of place. I think I am sticking with it this time, I am back for good, I plan to update this journal more often, and I might eventually get back into doing my knock off Love and Hate.
Now when it comes to Machine+... it's extremely slow going. I had about 30 songs I wrote and out of that I have gotten three that I really really like, and that was back in November. Since then I've written about three or four more songs that are getting through to the arrangement stage. Overall this is the slowest I've ever made an album, and that's only because of my ridiculous perfectionism. It's going to be WAY different than Love.
