This is Not Attractive

Today I have , after months of procrastination, composed my first looping track. It has been a while in the making. After berating myself for a few days about the fact that despite having bought the very expensive equipment equivalent to 1 month's rent a few weeks ago I hadnt really used it properly since the first few enthusiastic and exhausting days of setting up , and so I finally set down to work. This was precipitated mainly by two factors: 1) my drumkit teacher telling me I was making very good progress and me feeling elated as a consequence of having my own judgement in this matter confirmed 2) reading a book called " The artist's way" which told me to get over the fear / the block of the critical self and just do it. I therefore planned to get stoned first (just a little) and have a little drop of limoncello too, and then get on with it. Of course this was after spending a couple hours technically setting up the system to handle a highly creative though tech

I am very proud to announce that as of September 2013 a new band has been formed: the temporary name of Elyssa Vulpes and The Sweet Bitter Enemies has been assigned to this array of disparate personalities. As of now we have Paul Gonzales, a Spanish drummer with a past as a metal fan,  Josh Del Tramonto, an Australian guitarist turned bass player and Simon Szymek, Polish violinist direct from the University of Edinburgh Music School.  We have big plans to take Edinburgh and Glasgow by storm and then expand to touring the UK and Europe.  Watch out for brand new tunes in Italian and English and songs as mellow as can be as well as fast and furious ironic numbers. Follow us and help us build a bigger audience to give us enough time and money to put all this down in a long awaited album ! We have too many songs, so it might have to be a double ! Thank you for your continuing support, it s what makes us keep going!

So this year has started with too many projects and too many possibilities. Of course this is better than not enough stuff to do but I seem to swing between not having enough to do and having too much... well it's been two years since I started writing new songs for the new album. I have enough material for two albums but the money is short so it will have to be a slow and long process and even then it will be a matter of selecting the best songs and only  recording them... At the moment there are both Italian and English songs and this time there is a big change... I have a drummer involved , a double bass player and a violinist... so it's going to be quite different from "Pearl of Blood" . I feel I have moved on quite a lot since Pearl of Blood. The new songs are a bit less dark and melancholic while still on the chilled side. I do have a couple of numbers that are quite poppy but having said that my 'poppy' is probably still quite eccentric compared to th
