Open Sesame!

It’s been a while journal. Roughly 6 months actually! Then again we told ourselves when starting this that we wouldn’t put that crazy performance anxiety on ourselves, right!? Haha 😝🙌🏻🧡✨.

Here in the UK things have opened up fully! Over 75% of adults have been double jabbed. Silverstone a few weeks ago was absolutely packed! The government was using the event as a test. Results are very positive as cases and hospitalisations are still going down despite of things opening up!

Okay enough COVID stuff. 

So much has happened since my last entry! Wow! Dark Bear Audio is moving along nicely. I received prototype 1 and have been putting it through the paces!! 

Proto 2 is almost finished and should arrive here by the end of August!


Planning a roadtrip to Serbia end sometime in October to collect the first batch of 10 units!!!!!!

So very excited and grateful!❤️‍🔥🌈🙏🏻

Shipping is crazy expensive and risky of course. I will be designing and sourcing packaging etc. once settled at the new studio in Hereford! The move should be happening in the next month or so. Pretty darn excited!

It’s also been a busy few months working remotely with some amazing artists. Stevie Kin, Keiko Necesario, Matthew Mole, Paul Renwick,

Steven McKellar, Lize Wiid and a few others. Haha who would have ever thought I’d be doing as much mix work! 

Okay, on that note. I need to get cracking. I got up extra early (4am) to get a head start before dropping van for service and Chiro appointment later this morning. 

Oh Chiro!! Forgot to mention that. As part of my holistic health journey (I’ve lost 10kgs already) I decided to see Dr. Kylie down in Cheltenham. I’ve always wanted to see a Chiro at some point. Now seems like the perfect time to have some treatment. I’ve also been alternating between normal office chair, exercise ball and piano bench at my desk. Really enjoying the shifts on each. Kneeling chair on the shopping list too!

Until next time journal (and any humans/aliens/clever animals reading this) 🧑🏻‍🦰👽🦁.

Big love, Bren x
