Studio diary, week 2

Honestly, not much to report. I've been spending most of the time meticulously arranging guitar tracks—chopping the takes up into little pieces, fixing up a few sloppy bits, and gluing them together into four huge tracks.

Since I finished that I've been busy with other stuff, but I have been rehearsing and making final arrangements for vocals, which I'll start recording tomorrow (then bass is next week, I think?) Hopefully I'll have enough stuff prepared to post a teaser of some kind by then, as well.

My attempt to schedule everything out on a day-by-day basis turned out to not work so well; at least, things take a bit longer than I plan and real life tends to get in the way. Regardless, everything should definitely still be done early next month.

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?

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.
