Studio diary, weeks 3–4

Been pretty busy. All recording is done—guitar, bass, vocals—and the album is fully arranged and everything. The only bits left to do are tweaking the drums, adding samples and effects, and final mixing (though the preliminary mixing I've been doing while putting together the recordings has been sounding really good).

I was thinking about posting a teaser clip, but it's not quite ready for that yet. Maybe in a couple days. But on the other hand, the whole thing will be ready in about two weeks anyway. There's no album title or artwork yet, though most of the songs are titled. We're looking at eight tracks, in the vein of Torchbearer with a bit of Primitive Circuitry thown in.

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.
