Mehn! This is one morning like no other, believe me. I mean it's not every time you hear a track that just sort of blows your mind away. No jokes man! This song (ThankGodIt'sFriday) from Woye (ft Chinedu) is def. If I was anything like Richard Branson back in his Virgin Records days with his crew Ken, Simon etc I'd have this guy on my label. Yeah, Woye; same dude from way back. 2 days ago, I'd blogged about meeting up with the hommie in his studio with regards to àsà's voicing (recording and editing). Finally got to meet with the dude very early this morning; I mean very early like 6am after I got his BB message. He'd worked overnight in the studio that's only a stone-throw from 401 and thought it fit for me to drop in. The hommie is talented to say the least. We hadn't seen in like 12 years and yet it felt like yesterday when we eventually did. After listening to him speak about how he came about his interest and skills, I was impressed to say the least. Here's a hommie I can relate to in every sense. In a society where there jus aren't too many of 'this kind' who follow after their hearts, it's always a great feeling meeting and hanging out with one. There was the usual ingredients: dreams, interests, self-fulfillment. Dude's so talented he even scratched up a beat for me in minutes. There was something about the atmosphere too that had me feeling every song that boomed out of the speakers. Far from the typical studio I'd described yesterday too, there were no weed, groupies or booze. Okay, so maybe it was cos it was 6am...lol. Studio bore every sense of decency. Anyways, away from that. Hommie got the hang of what I want so soon as we're set to go, it's a done deal. I just wanted to meet with him before hand which I did. I have a few pictures I took of him plus a video shoot that I have his consent to upload. Yeah man, required when you're dealing with a guy with so much potentials. It's a great feeling to be working with him even if on a basic level: recording and editing. Next up, the uploads so here we go...
Okay, so now I have the assets up. It's amazing I have this TGIF track on repeat. My volume's at its max and this song's looping. No real distractions cos all I'm practically doing is rigging characters. Yep, I have this set of characters from Iyke for the àsà lingo modules. Just feels good right now. You know, there are times like this when nothing else just matters. It's this moments I like to refer to what I do as 'play' rather than work. Yeah man, it can only be work. Like Woye, the material gratifications count for less. In my words, if I died and came back then it'd still be back to this here man. No kidding. Even more amazing is the fact that I'm doing this write-up even as I have the song booming in my headphone (ear-piece). I know I can't try this for the write-up that's meant for publication I'm working on. On another note, I could risk a trial just to attempt a different route (unlikely though). In the end, this dude right here's just excited. The rationale is kinda inexplicable but I sure do know this song is adding to the whole.
