Coming to you live and living from Bangkok airport. I've finished university for the year and I've got 10 hours to kill on this stop over, so what else would I be doing with a free internet connection but updating a neglected blog?
I'm going back to Kathmandu to assist Greg once more in his pursuit of world music so that I can get more sound recordist experience. I'm hoping to be more focussed on the recordings this time. It's never not about the adventure because that is a by-product of pursuing what interests you but I feel less like a wide eyed deer in the headlights. I don't know how much has actually changed though.
Once again it was a spontaneous trip to a travel agent on a pay day that spurred ideas into action. It was Greg mentioning 'I've always wanted to do this trek, it just got cheaper, we might get to meet a king, I've got a lot of gear and I need someone to operate Logic for me.' Well that was it, of course I had to go, I might get to have tea with a king in a forbidden kingdom and record previously unrecorded monks!
Everything is still up in the air but hopefully my aspirations will be realised. I'll be just as happy to hang out in Kathmandu for a bit over a month, do a bit of this and that and make some cool recordings. The only real downer is the lack of my lady, six weeks apart sucks for two people who are rarely apart for more than 12 hours. Oh well, I've gotta see a kat and man I've got things to du!
More soon-ish
