I am currently focused on completing the music for the audio reading of “Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet, and Watch” from “The Grifter’s Bible”, specifically the drum track. This includes the tom, the bell, and the can. Everything is recorded and guide-mixed. I have some arrangement work to do with the bell and probably some splotch-work here and there before I export and master. Then, I will import it into the overall arrangement for the chapter.
Funny note— I have de-listed “The Grifter’s Bible” on Amazon. So it is currently out of print. The world is in mourning (for Queen Elizabeth II, but nevertheless). There are some things I want to change based upon the work I’m doing on the audiobook. But I also have not had any level of success in that particular marketplace so I’m not necessarily giving much up. Over the past couple of months, I’ve started cancelling my various Amazon memberships over the expense and my creeping dread that something not right is going on with this company. I canceled Audible, Amazon Music, and Kindle Unlimited. Unpublishing the book is just another turd getting pulled in with the flush of all the other shit. I’m hemming and hawing over when I’m going to cancel my Prime membership, mostly based on whether or not I want to watch the third or fourth episode of the horrendous Rings of Power, but that is next on the chopping block and the cutting is certain. I don’t want to support big, dumb money any more than I have to.
