The Price of Technology


Technology is amazing. What we can do with electronics, computers and much more in today's world is amazing. Without any of it, we wouldn't be able to accomplish a 16th of what we're doing now, as far as musicians, performers and recording artists. I am thankful to be able to have access to all of it and being able to do it all on my own.

But... technology has its price.

Though I had all my precautions, having an external hard drive to save all audio files, and another hard drive dedicated to backing up my MacBook Pro, I could not escape the actual computer's failure. As of tonight, my laptop's hard drive is dead, mort, muerte, caput.

Apparently, after a long year and a half of intense use, especially recording, and that on a daily basis, the hard drive could not take it anymore. Since I have all my backups, I am not too worried. It's just that, I don't have a working computer anymore, which means, no more recording.

Hopefully, I will be able to replace the hard drive soon, and will be able to recover all the softwares I use for recording. The price and time of it all, that's another story.

Technology can fail on you. And oh boy when that happens you realize how powerless you are; simply because you can't do any type of work whatsoever, in regards of the album for us.

So, recording is on halt until further notice... *Tear*
