Making Sense Of Static: Progress Report part II

"But it's you I can't deny. It's you I can't deny."

Ok, so we sent off 3 of the vocal tracks to Paul for mixing into the songs. We should hear back in about a week to approve the mixes and then about another week to get the masters done if we approve of the first round of mixes.

This part is fun because we get to listen to the songs over again on different stereo systems. We might just go down to Best Buy and blare the new songs off the record just for fun.

This week we sat down with Mike and Molly of Joon Photography/Valentone Media and discussed some of the concepts behind the artwork. It was great. We really do enjoy working with them and they're good people. They humor us by listening to some of our rants and tangents when it comes to what we want to see and pick out the good ideas from the not so great and help us get to the point. Meetings at House of Pies are always a blast.

Outside of that we have been setting up more and more accounts online. We are now on Facebook. Which was a bit of a clusterf*** to set up but we up and running so it's going well. We have our new pics up on the facebook account and on here. Please let us know what you think.



Until next time.

Making Sense Of Static: Progress Report

"Call me a name, kill me with words. Forget about me, it's what I deserve."

Ok so there's not a whole lot going on. German and Fausto are working as much as they can on the vocals. As it stands we're 50% done with the vocals. It takes a really really long time to get them to sound as good as we want. We're perhaps being too picky but the clock's ticking and we've got moves to make.

Things are still sounding good. Paul's excited to get the songs back so we can mix them and get the ball rolling onto mastering. SXSW is approaching and we're prepping ourselves to be out there. In the coming weeks we're working out the myspace layout and cd artwork. It takes about 2-3 months for iTunes to get set up to sell your music so we're pressed for time. We just got the final edits of our photoshoot with Joon Photography and we're excited.

Here are some pics of the last studio session. I'm excited I was able to sing a little bit on this record. It's pretty cool.









Until next time!!!
