A New PBS is on The Horizon…

I know I have mentioned this already, several times in fact, but the changes are on their way. I have been doing some research into how I can make the most of this website and I’m ready now to put the wheels in motion. Here is a sneek preview…

Powerbook Studio Header

I don’t want Powerbook Studio to be simply a blog about my Powerbook Studio! The blog will still run, but it won’t be the focus of the site. I hope that the blog part will provide inspiration for the readers who are interested in the subject matter of the rest of the site, which will focus on how to get professional sonic results from a humble recording system such as mine.

I’m excited because I have discovered that there is more to write about than I first realized. I’m not the most prolific writer it has to be said, but I am passionate about music production and I am so determined to realize my dream of relocating my studio in a tropical paradise that I will put in what is required and more to make it so.

I am flying to Thailand on 25th September where I will be spending some time at my "home" with my wonderful lady and I know she will keep me inspired to bring on the realization of the dream quickly. I imagine that the blog part of the new, improved PBS will concentrate on my personal progress and it is my intention that readers will be eager to revisit to keep up to date with my progress as I can’t think of a better way to inspire other people with similar interests just what is possible to achieve if you put your heart, soul and belief into something.

 

A Seed Takes Time to Germinate…

I haven’t gone anywhere and I have not forgotten this website, despite how neglected it may look. When I look back at the last few months I realize that I have taken on a lot of new projects and created for myself a mountain of work that really is more than one man can do effectively. This website has been in the queue for a major overhaul for quite a long time now, my current studio space is in a state of upheaval and I am moving into several projects that are requiring me to learn completely new skills.

I must stress that none of this is a complaint. I do enjoy being busy, but there are days when I feel busy, but there are no real results at the end of the day. This is why Powerbook Studio looks a little "Kryogenic" shall we say! Seeing as I am unable to actually run the studio at full tilt as I would like to right now and seeing as my focus has to be on creating a management system to successfully take care of all my projects I am not going to get stressed about having to do too much here on this site. Everything unfolds as it is meant to and as soon as I feel the urge that something needs to happen here then it will. I like to think of it like this:

The future of PBSPowerbook Studio is in a state of hibernation, rather like a futuristic space craft carrying astronaughts to a far of galaxy. It is in a state of flux, but when it awakens it will be light years away from the humble blog that it is now. I already mentioned early on in the life of PB studio that it was a seed that had been sown, so rather than keep tyring to dig up the ground to check how the seed is growing I’ll let it nourish and sprout as nature intends. Make sense? I hope so.

I do hope that in the next week I can add a new music clip to my showreel page, so there is still some life here.
