I'm busy getting my studio cleared of all the crap that's built up over years. It's amazing how much you can accumulate. Add to that after having some work done in the house (including improving the access to the studio) there's a thisk layer of dust on top of everything!

It's important for me to clear it out. I find too much clutter, and too many distractions can often break my creative flow. Instead of giving me ideas, clutter just takes up threads of thought. So, as i can't do it myself (for various reasons. Well one really) I've had to draft in help to go through everything.

Old music magazines like Home and Studio Recording, The Mix, Sound on Sound etc and internet magazines like .Net were piled up everywhere. A cupboard full of old boxes for music gear, sound cards and computer components, a myriad of notes, scribbled lyrics, technical notes, mix set ups, manuals and the odd coffee cup scream at me from every corner. Something had to be done.

At the moment it's about halfway through the clean up (hopefully sorted out tomorrow) largely due to the help of a couple of friends.

Onwards and upwards!
