Music in Small Spaces

So ever since I released my album in 2007 I have been on a complete hiatus when it comes to music. There have been on and off sparse flings here and there with alternate tunings and clouded lyrics, but nothing substantial to show for any of it. Then I moved to Ottawa and for the longest time I was unable to find a space in my new home for my musical belongings. Guitars, keyboard, mixers, pedals, recording machines, etc. This weekend I had an idea and with Meem's help (who btw was going to buy me a $1000 sitar for my birthday because she thinks I blame myself everyday for not being able to do music) I was able to push the bed in the second bedroom in my downtown Ottawa condo up against the wall which freed up about just enough space to place my music desk that had been resting for the final verdict in the storage.

I like the way the room looks now. It looks like the space I can create music in once again. My "studios" have been nothing more than a space of 8x10 rooms thus far, but lack of space never stopped me from creating. Thread by thread, line by line, one word at a time, slowly, painfully, I create. After all, Lafz Taraash was recorded in a similar space beginning to end.

Let's see what the coming days hold. I'll try and post some pictures soon.
