      Aw, thanks David! I feel like I could sleep a year after all that! I thought the move itself would be the most exhausting part, but frankly it was all the renovations and especially dealing with incompetent contractors 🙄

      Thank you so much! 😀 I love my new studio! So good! And the library is lovely. I didn’t even show all the art books yet, because they’re supposed to go into the front room and that’s not finished yet. And he keeps buying more books 😂

    • @LillySchwartz
      @LillySchwartz  Год назад +1

      Thank you! It took such a long time! But now it’s finally coming together, it’s really nice 😀 I also think the kitchen turned out lovely. Relatively painless process because the people who did it really knew what they were doing. Unlike with the aerothermal installation! And my studio is definitely my favourite space in the house. Turned out even better than I imagined it! I hope the darkroom will get done soon as well. Still sometime this year for sure!

      Thanks! My husband felt bad when he made them carry some of those book boxes upstairs. And those boxes were heavy! Really impressively strong guys and very efficient. I really don’t mind having their boxes appear so prominently in the video, they were really good.

    Good to hear that the move is done!
    When I moved from the south to middle of Sweden one of our worries was the bigger houseplants and thankfully clever thinking when packing and good movers resulted in not casualties!

    • @LillySchwartz

    Great to see the move has FINALLY been done and dusted! Talk about a long time coming!! I love the way you've setup your studio and I really like the new kitchen!! Hope the darkroom goes as well when you get around to setting everything up! The good thing will be you'll have a permanently setup enlarger in an easy to get at place instead of having it hide in the cupboard!! It'll be good to see that space once it's done. That'll be when you can breathe a big sigh of relief!!😊

    • @LillySchwartz
      @LillySchwartz  Год назад +1

      I know, right? First we waited a year for the paperwork and then all the renovations took forever, ugh, what a pain in the neck! I’m glad the end is in sight now! It will be amazing to have the darkroom permanently set up with the enlarger ready to go and a decent tray side. It will be so good to finally have that! Maybe I can finally finish printing some of my bigger projects when it’s all done!

    • @carltanner9065
      @carltanner9065 Год назад

      What's hard to fathom is the amount of BS you had to go through to get where you are, today!! That'd drive me up the wall!!! Wish I had the room to have a permanent setup for a darkroom, but the way things are, it'll be forever before I can afford to move into a new place.
      Right now, I can't do too much because I've come down with a cold!!! Funny thing, I have a couple of cameras loaded with film that I wanted to get out and take pics with over the last few weeks but I ended up with this bug!! Now, my brother Greg also has it (got it from me) and it's bouncing around between the two of us.

    • @LillySchwartz
      @LillySchwartz  Год назад +1

      Oh yes. It definitely drove me up a wall, for a while I was going a bit crazy with all the noise and the paperwork, it was really bad. I’m so glad that stuff is over! I’m not sure I could go through it again at this point 😅
      I’m sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon. Frankly, I haven’t caught anything since the pandemic started. Self-isolation definitely makes a huge difference!

      Thank you! My new studio is so amazing, I really love it! When I was going through all the footage from the move I just couldn’t understand how all our stuff fit into that small flat! We somehow made it work though out of necessity? I mean, I’ve done so much stuff in the old studio although there was so little space. But yeah, music gear can definitely take up a lot of room. My old studio became unmanageable because of that, because I had all my synths flying about everywhere!

Doppelbelichtungen mache ich auch viel aber halt üblicherweise angefangen mit Film.

      Oh, downsizing is so hard!

      My husband is a professor so he needs about half his books for work. The other half is just books for pleasure. We live in Spain, but read a lot of English language books, so libraries aren’t at all useful for us around here. That’s why we have our own 😀

    hey there! Moving house... is a true nightmare. I just don't want to think about it... had to a while ago and while I thought everything will be okay, electrical problems and noise, bad grounding and pipework that needed to be "refreshed" .. floors to be leveled.. and some of my gear were mysteriously lost in transit and some fragile things mishandled... I can say it was a 70% affair after moving... and then rebuilding then unpacking... I feel for you.
    Humans are not files...to be easily zipped moved around and unzipped .... a studio- or a life- moved like this, ... ouff... okay, take care!
    A quick word of advice: before really settling in, check the grounding... check the wirework..and the blessed pipes.. there's nothing like having to tear down a freshly renovated wall because of a pipe or have hum in the monitors because of shady grounding ...in the building.

    • @LillySchwartz
      @LillySchwartz  Год назад

      We already found our own share of problems with the pipes. Of course, it's an old house. We've left those bits unrenovated for now and it will get sorted soon. Or at least I hope so. Definitely not looking forward to that part of the house renovation process. Luckily my studio isn't affected, it doesn't have any pipes except the new heating pipes.
      And that sounds so annoying, you actually lost stuff in the move? In my case there are just a few CDs I can't seem to find. No idea what happened to them.

      @@LillySchwartz haha, so right! And now that space's no problem, as I said two years ago, you need a long scale bass. Because... well- once you hear the way it really sounds in a proper bass amp you'll wonder why not sooner. Those sounds... if the amp is right, it does not have to be loud- you can find the "inner resonance" of all things around you... the glasses, the window panes, the floor(s) and even the neighbor's dog's brain. The bass is felt as much as it is heard. Any sofa or recliner can be a source of "good vibrations" but also- pure sonic bliss. For a long time listening to modern songs they play on the radio I kept feeling they missed something. Most if not all - lack deep end. Once I add my bass over they sound... complete. Short scale if you must (more comfy, more like a guitar) but get one. And don't forget a matching dedicated bass amp. No need for huge/expensive- in the space of some 20 sq. m a 15 to 20 watter is too much...

    • @LillySchwartz
      @LillySchwartz  Год назад +2

      Oh bass is definitely on the list for me. I love playing my little bass uke, but I want to get into it proper at some point. At the moment I’m focusing on the piano stuff actually, because I have a studio desk now and an 88 keys set up permanently. It makes such a difference to have it always hooked up and ready to play. Maybe next year I focus on the bass properly again. I keep switching around from instrument to instrument. Low end is really important and now that I can finally listen to music out loud again I also realise what had been missing before. Feeling the low end properly makes such a big difference to the enjoyment of music!
