Aug 1, 2020 (Sat)

Drinking - Yes (129/85).

Paid work - not on Saturday.

Creative work - the stuff I have for the soundtrack is just wrong.  So, I wrote down a timing of events in the animation.  Maybe I can come up with something.  Later:  I did a live playback of the movie and just scored alongside it.  Three passes.  Seems to be pretty good, though there was some noise in the synth patch--the Matrix seemed to be controlling the reverb for the JX. Still, it seems to work really well.  Much better than I expected.

Overall - kind of depressed and feeling somewhat lost.  Also, I hate drinking.  Damn it all.

See you tomorrow.
