Week in Texas (KOMARA second)

you're as old as you feel

Dec 07, 2024

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.

I'm attaching some pics and vids of the creative process.

I'm really happy that we made it. I hope that in 2025 we will be on the podium as well. Something is already in negotiations...
