Had to take my hardware synth to repair shop – thankfully, there are some great and crafty people around here. They have fixed power circuits, which, I’ve been told, were in absolute shambles. Not surprised, since it had been purchased already in heavily used shape, and our cats has done some unspectacular work on its condition either.

Main outputs need replacing too, but they will come in two weeks or so. Georgia isn’t exactly the place where you have hardware components’ galore.

Played two shows on a lended MIDI keyboard with VSTs from my laptop. No problems with the latter, but the keyboard is battered and its keys react unevenly on the pressure velocity, with dents and spikes in volume. Had hard and discouraging experience, in fact. Happy to have my keyboard back finally.

Georgia has altered its employment legislation, so I’ll need to apply for a work permit – it’s after a year of being a one-man-business here, paying all the taxes. D’oh, it’s not gonna be simple, I’m afraid.

If I receive no permit, me and my wife will have to relocate soon. And I have no clear idea how am I going to do that. Frankly, I’m exhausted to a mess…

Back to work, anyway.
