Nearing Completion

yeah. just want you always wanted, another record update. a few things to report. first, spent a couple hours in the studio this past saturday listening to how the mix was coming, listened to three songs, and i have to say i’m pretty excited with the results thus far. listened to “high wind advisory” and i am really excited for everyone to hear this song in it’s finished form (this song is probably as close to being finished of all of them which is why i highlighted it.) i never would have thought that this song, which started out as just an idea sitting in airplane, having it tossed side to side trying to land in boston, turn into something that can sound so complete. the other songs are in various stages of completeness, some need some re-re-amping and tempos need to be straightened out (there’s a song that is going to be going “under the knife,” a good way to describe what needs to be done i suppose.) all and all, things are looking pretty good. i worry though, i still get that nagging feeling that this is all crap and i’m deluding myself. being an aspie doesn’t help in that when i talk to people about this project i can’t read body language or “between the lines” and i just end up interpreting the messages as “uh yeah, this is dumb, but i’m not going to tell you.”

anyway, i digress, the mastering will be done by new alliance east (they did the caspian records) and i’m really quite thrilled that they’ll be helping me out with this project (and also nervous.)

i’ve started working on the cd packaging (it’ll be simple) and a new web site is also being developed, and will hopefully be launched when the record is released.

the vinyl for this record will come out. figuring out how to finance it. been kicking around the idea of using kickstarter, and there are some other options which are too premature to discuss right now, but needless to say it’ll get worked out.

lastly, will be releasing the bonus track “nothing has divided” as a free download just prior to the record being released.
