Mad Times

Hey Team

Found out I have to go back to Liverpool ASAP,so have had to quit work and I'm now mad busy packing stuff up and getting ready to do the long haul thing. The music PC and other gear are being freighted soon and hopefully won't take too long to get there. Trying to get as much done before I leave as I'll be jet lagged and busy with family stuff for a bit.

Been working on Rawk, Two Vowels, and tweaking mixes from the Aranui sessions back in June, plus working on some bass transcriptions for Fud.

Ordered another drum track today from Drumsforyou, for a 4 minute tune now titled I Haven't Touched Your Dog, Mate.

Here's a list of tunes completed or nearing completion. In no particular order:

Instant Jedi
It's Thirteen (Bring the Clunk)
Henry Kissinger Must Diet
Mr Weiner Pants
Two Vowels Contemplate the End of the World
Alive in the Mullet Zone
I Haven't Touched Your Dog, Mate
Death to the Meat Horse
Rawk
Rawk II
Son of Foodstool/Deadbiking
Sirens
Synthyer
Techno Bert vs The Klezzies

Keep in touch

Busy

Hey you

Progressing well at the mo. Got a drum mix back from drumsforyou this week, for the previously mentioned 5 1/2 minute tune, now known as Two Vowels Contemplate The End Of The World.
Sounds great, now I'm working on the parts for it, shouldn't take too long.

Also, getting the June recording session's drum tracks together for Rob Mayes so he can do some drum mixes for us, plus he is going to do a mix of the whole of Instant Jedi.

Besides that, did some parts for Invader Tron over the last few days, and some more overdubs for Instant Jedi.

Yeah.

Happy Chanukah

Holy Shit!!



Halo

How's it hanging?

Working on a tune at the mo, fully demo-ed, and it clocks in at over 5 mins, the longest song in an age. Just trying to write a chart for it.

Alive in the Mullet Zone is pretty much done, just needs some final mixing tweaks. Pretty happy with the way the solo/melody in the "jazz" section has worked out.

Also just about finished parts for what is temporarily known as Glass Eye II. So called because, like Glass-Eyed and Frankly/ft. Crazy Legs (a track from the last EP), this tune was written to a pre recorded drum track obtained free from Drums For You.

I put a playlist on my iPod of most of the stuff for the next CD, and we're looking at around 37 mins at the mo, with more to come. Very exciting times. I'm really hoping to have most recording and mixing done by the end of Jan. Fingers crossed.

Til next time, stay well.
