So tonight I was asked by someone to play my song live at the Brighton Concord, as they liked it when they came across it on Facebook.
So I said yes, brought my kit down and played three of my latest songs including My Downfall, Insania Overture and the Insania after effect and finally I played Tschernobyl live. There was an audience of a few hundred people and they loved it. I've been asked to play again, I was asked for physical albums which I didn't have on me, this was bummer but people asked if they could songs from my set that I played which I haven't even made that album, this is going to be the album I make with Cabooby and won't be available till October. On the way out I bumped into someone who me a buisness card stating that he was thirty year going guitar player and metal style vocalist, so I said I was looking for a guitarist. So now I've got two vocalists, a percussion player, and a guitarist. Amazing stuff, I'm currently just looking for a bass player, which could be electric bass or a synth bass player.
So we are going to start to record from next week, with Trombone, Keyboards/Organs/Accordion, Electric and acoustic guitars, percussion and live drums. I will be also using synthesis using all my custom voicing and new skills which I picked up in sound design. We obviously need new equipment and clothes before I go back on stage.
I will do a bi-weekly update on here as well as occasionally releasing sound bites of work we are recording. We also have my father and his old worrk mate engineer for us. We have access to old valve equipment form the 50's and 60's and a Neve console, with EMI mic pre's.
The new album is going to available for a very reasonable three quid for a 12 track CD and jewel case. For people internationally we may have it availble for digital download, but to work we need find a new store because I'm not going through Fresh tunes as in my experience they are basically ripping me off. Bandcamp might be used but I need to talk to our manager and see what he wants to do.
Thankyou everyone for kind comments and constructive crititism as this is really helpful in overall development of my music and finding a completly original sound that people like and can relate to.
