Recording series, part 2

Bleh, my throat hurts. Probably shouldn't have done that vocal demoing all at once. Yep, there's (so far) going to be quite a bit of harsh vocals on it; hopefully my throat will man up enough to take it when I do the official recording in about two weeks. (That's one last week of class, followed by finals, followed by one week of free time for me to crank them out.)

In fact I didn't even have the lyrics finalized until today, and even then I actually wrote a line or two today to get it all fitting together. I suppose it's going to be around the same amount that was on Cleanse; present but sort of in the background part of the time and still letting the instruments have their way with the music.

I don't remember if Cleanse was supposed to be a concept album (Antimonument was for sure), but the new one isn't so much. The lyrics are still pretty abstract but I wrote them all without any connection between songs. Mostly they are about everyday life.

I am going to try to put together the guitar recording session video soonish, by the way.

Ve3tro Interview

Hey, it's me again. Yeah, I'm still here. Been super busy with school, work, and looking for a job post-graduation. That's all going splendidly but unfortunately leaves little time for music. Rest assured that I'm still cranking out song ideas when I have time. While you wait, I thought I'd post the interview I conducted with the media webzine Ve3tro (it seems they now only do video games), originally published in late January 2009, just after Cleanse came out. Ve3tro: What is the main purpose of your music? Do you have any particular message or meaning that you try to make your work embellish? Deterior: The main purpose of all the music I do is to entertain myself. I started writing music because it sounded fun and it was something I had always been interested in doing and was willing to learn. I spent several years churning out utter crap. It took me two years to write and record World , and even then I wasn't satisfied with what I had made (which isn'

CD-Rs: an idea

so I had this crazy thought today... I've heard several people express interest in getting physical copies of Deterior stuff. of course pressing CDs is way out of my budget (I almost literally have no money at the moment), so I was thinking about a simple on-demand CD-R system. so if you wanted a CD of an album or whatever, I'd whip one up and send it your way. probably something cheap like $5, same as the tapes. if this sounds cool, leave a comment! I'm lonely.
