This past week has been pretty hectic. It seems the seeds we once planted have now grown tall into ripe fruit bearing trees. The seeds being our efforts and the tree being the result. Ripe fruit; good results.
1st - 11th: PROMO
We took a break from mixing and have spent the last week working on the next DVD promo. It should've been out 2 - 3 days ago but it seems fate has another plan for us. After near completing the promo, the file crashed, and we were unable to open it up! Why didn't we back it up I hear you say?? Well I think we did (or didn't), we always back everything up (god forbid we should lose the tracks) but it seems we had no options; Adobe Premiere rearing its head back and letting out a blood curdling laugh. These past two days then have involved Denis reinstalling EVERYTHING (well not everything) and beginning again. How annoying. Well hopefully we will be finished with the damned thing tonight! And you will all be able to see the work we put in through a really cool montage, layered with our music! The likes of which will leave you gasping for more.
MIXING
The mixing of vocals is still an on-going process, but I think we are passing the halfway mark. We have been playing with different plug-ins to make them sound 'sweeter than your mum's sweet-pie' according to Denis. On observing Denis' handy work at one point I asked him what will that do, pointing at a button/plug-in/knob, to which he replied: 'this Michael, will sound like if you picked up a kitten, held it to your mouth and sang through it'. And he was right. I also learnt about double knobs. This week involved many illustrious quotes and humurous moments. One of which being when I thought Van Burren was called Van Helden for some reason, and kept calling him by that until I was corrected (and laughed at). One of our songs we established can only be described as 'Van Burren walking around in India with sunglasses on'; next music video I think? Also, the week revealed Theo reaching completely new levels of. And lastly wonderous tales about sharting (a word introduced to us by Mario) and I leave the rest to your imagination.
WEBSITE
The website is coming along just dandy. We have bought a domain and a host! So hopefully that will be up tonight along with the promo. Both are coming out together, and we are sorry for the delay. If not tonight, you can bet your sweet ass it'll be tomorrow.
Afterwards, we will get straight back to the music, so we can a couple tracks out there for you. For the time being we hope you enjoy the promo and hopefully the tracks on it will give you an idea of how the process is going/sounding.
