I woke up after actually sleeping through the whole night for the first time in a while. I washed up, rested a while, then head back to the hostel for breakfast. From there I checked in with Zulfikar sahib at Sindhology. I needed to basically get the footage from the recording session with Jamaluddin Faqir sahib off the DV tapes and into my computer so I could begin the laborious process of editing and mixing.For that, I needed to use their DV deck hooked up to my computer. I took the usual 15 minute stroll through Jamshoro’s oven to get to Sindhology. It’s a grueling walk each time and I am covered in sweat even though it is not that far. I spent several hours there, waiting, finding out I needed another cable, learning that I could not use the computer there because the staff members don’t play well together, and then, empty handed returned home with the promise of being able to do so the next day with the proper cable.I was told that the radio station had a good multitrack recording setup which would make my life easier and that I would not have the 3 hours of actual time to record that I had in Sindhology. Having been to the radio station several times, I mentioned that they just have the one mic in the middle and record all the musicians in a circle around it. I really needed multiple tracks that I could adjust the mix with. They assured me that they had a very good system and would be happy to help me with a project related to Shah Latif. I was also told various other mistakes I had made. I should have assembled a solid team before I came. I should have brought in a whole video crew. I should have recorded it all myself.With a contact there, I called a few times with no response. Then I got an sms asking what I wanted. After taking far too much time to send a whole bunch of sms, (text messages), I explained. After another half hour I called and was welcomed with open arms to record at the studio, but sure enough it was as I said, just the one mic. So…as usual, I spent several hours to achieve nothing, except to be postponed for another day or more with incorrect information and no real options. This city is really testing me. I need some other recording options, because I won’t be able to record the longer chapters in the short amount of time afforded at Sindhology.
