You guys are frakkin' awesome, okay? All of you. Well, mostly all of you. But basically back home was really shit. Like, way more shit than the shit stuff that happens here. And I'm not saying it doesn't suck sometimes, because it does, but... y'know. I have a job, I have-- okay, here's the thing. This place? Half the time it's like living in a video game, which is awesome. And the other half of the time, it's like having actual friends. And, y'know. That's pretty awesome too.

Okay uh, so you play the piano, right? I was kinda wondering if you'd ever done like, I dunno, more keyboard-y stuff.

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've worked with keyboards. And I even played some chords for a final project for this guy who was a guitar major. He tried to mix classical and rock and it really turned out well although I had my doubts to begin with. Have you ever played?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Whoa, really? That's awesome!

Uh, nah, I don't play. I mean, piano. Bass, a little bit. Guitar in theory, 's long as it's only one note at a time and not, like, chords. And I kinda sing. And uh, write songs sorta, lately. Which is... thing is, I've been kinda wanting to start a music project, kind of an experimental sorta thing, and I kinda wondered if you'd be interested in helping with that.

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah, yeah I could help with that. I love music. What kind of project is it?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

It'd be a set of like, fourish original songs, plus some covers, done all... kinda alternative-y with synth leads. You ever listen to New Order?

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

I never have. Do you have some of their music here? We could probably find some so I can get an idea and then from there we could come up with the music we want.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Hold on, I think I might have a few tracks.

[After a moment, he sends across this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvoWN5Jxskc) and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZoFsWhc4F8).]

First one's New Order, the other one's Rogue Wave. I'm thinking that kinda feel, only sorta less produced, little more of a singer-songwriter vibe.

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like them both. It's very easy-going. I think we could produce our own pieces with this feel to them.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Y'do? We could? Awesome!

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

Yeah whenever you want to get together and work stuff out, just let me know. I work Wednesday through Sunday in the evenings and sometimes I help Lucy out at her store but other than that, I'm free.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Cool. [She gets an all-out grin for that.] Tuesdays sound good?

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

It sounds good. I'm looking forward to it, actually.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Me too.
