New songs to look out for.
Last night we released our new Rock song which is based on 80's Classic Rock namely Lynryd Skynrd, sounds slightly like Freebird, with completly original chording and vocals and harmonies recorded by Fireball01e, on Professional, Rode NT5 Stereo microphones. It was also recorded mainly with Protools and sounds like a really clean mix, master and remixed version to come as there are a few teething issues, but they should be rolled out by Fireball01e tomorrow morning, nothing major, just tweaking on the starting vocal as its a bit quiet and my rock organ bit is so low in the mix you can barely hear it.
There is a song called "I Wish I Could Go to Sleep" which I will release tonight, which is a EDM pop song again with pro recorded vocals by me.
There is an experimental Dubstep song which I will release tonight as well, which has a bit of rapping on it. I've called this piece a "Fusion" piece with many aspects of EDM music rapped into one, and it sounds like a real interesting mix of SFX and Synthesis and Vocals.
Then I have a pumping Hard EDM tune called "Discus" which also should be ready by tonight, which was all recorded in live using a mixture of ableton live on my Laptop and Pro tools, and has recordings of original patches which I've made on the Juno-D and using classical sounding synths provided by Predator 2.
A new album, the free one called DNA.
DNA should technically be released in about a fortnight, which includes inspired music taken from the 70's, 80's and the early 90's, Inspired namely by Giorgio Moroder, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Bronskie Beat, Flock of Seagulls, Europe and many more bands then you can poke a stick at...This album will be available as one mix on Newgrounds and Bandcamp as a free (pay what ever you want album). This comprises of eighteen tracks all professionally mastered and some of my best work, mixed in with the cream of the crop of the last five years.
RNA the paid album will be availble in September, but that is very dependant on how many factors go in the coming months as its going to be mainly Analogue, recorded to Reel to Reel and Independently mastered by the local mastering firm. So it could be slightly later, fingers and toes crossed for a speedy production, even though the equipment we have at our disposal isn't the most reliable equipment on the planet, from things plainly not working when it wants too to synthesisers going out of tune, but we are working with limitations and will have to learn new techniques, with how to deal with this type of equipment.
New compostions to come in the near future.
We (me, davis, dan (fireball) and gazza) are working on a bunch more classical rock songs which are based on Rock from the 70's and 80's. We are also working on a few tracks of Electronica which will be mostly live tracks. We have inspired work from the Velvet Underground, to Jannis Joplin, Dire Straits, Simon and Garfunkle, and Daft Punks newest album Random Access Memories! (which is an amazing piece of production work and we are currently working on developing new techniques, for getting our recordings to sound as clean as some of there work. But its going to be very difficult and we are not masters of our art just yet, so we will see what happens.
New equipment also on its way over from Thomann.de
We have just ordered for my studio a pair of Adam monitors which were not exactly cheap by any margin, but hopefully with these new full range monitors (I only have nearfields, P.A and Heco Pro Lab 2 Reference monitors), so these should improve the overall quality of the masters, we also ordered a shared Valve microphone, which is going to be a Avantone CV-12, which coupled with the Valve preamps, should warm some of our vocals up a bit, and will especially be useful for upcoming Classical Rock works.
I hope everyone who is reading this is well, sorry about the bluntness of my last message, but I got so annoyed by theft of my music (that I even made a song last night, about it, with the message "Don't nick my music". But I've got a majority of the breaches sorted out, thankyou to everyone who took care and sent messages, It really helped!
