I just got home from Texas yesterday. I spent a week in Dripping Springs where Pat Mastelotto lives working on the new KOMARA album. It was a very fruitful week and I have a good feeling about it. First of all from the fact that we managed to put together almost 50 minutes of final music and secondly from the fact that I was able to be with Pat and work with him for a week. He really is a very inspiring person and musician. We worked from eight in the morning until late at night, Pat has a great attention to detail. The only thing I can think of with the amount of work he does is that you're only as old as you feel and you have to love music, it's a very demanding profession. You can't do it by force. His friend Bill Munyon, who's a great sound engineer, came to help us out for a couple of days. PAt's wife Deborah cooked for us like kings every night. I felt really great. Aside from the fact that my flight was delayed a day late, had to fly through Houston and our plane broke down. On the way back I had 10 minutes to board the next flight and of course they lost my luggage.
