Blegh + Listing.

So yeah, over the past two weeks, been ill, not bothered to do anything, and sat on the sofa for most of the time, watching daytime tv programs like 'Loose Women' and 'Jeremy Kyle'. Not very productive i must say, but at least some things have been done. A few more tracks have been wrote, including a track that is a comparison between old/new, and its about a person you did know, then they moved away, you met up with them again, and they are a totally different person, like you never knew them. A track has been mixed where it sounds like you are in a coffin in a church, pretty spooky, but realistic. So progress has been made. Even more vocals have been recorded and more experimentation has started, which is interesting.

As for the way the album is going to pan out, i finally have a track listing, with full names, here it is;

1. Wind
2. Cheat
3. Cover
4. Mother
5. Home
6. Grief
7. Emily
8. True*
9. New
10. Gone

*Still not sure about this one, may become a good B-Side.

As for covers, designs, and textures, im still juggling around a few ideas in my head, still not set on something that suits this record, you shall just have to wait as see, as i will.

I thought id leave you with this photo of my neighbours cat, sat in a plant pot on my front drive.



See you in the Atlantic.

New Look

Well i have started on a new look on the blog, as i mean to post on it regularly instead of every few months, which is utter lame! So i have started off with the new banner a few other items will be added to it soon as well.

Earlier today i went out and bought some drum samples from Death Cab For Cutie's drummer Jason McGerr, for Reason. So ive been messing around with those today, seeing if i can get anything from them for this new record. Would be awesome to include some if i can get them into a track.

Other than that, not much progress has been made really, i started to work on a track called 'True', which is a track about people being bitter and cold, and the way they see everything is exactly the same, no value in life. I have various piano, drums and bass recorded for this song, although I'm not sure i will be including it on the album, it just doesn't stick with the style that i have progressed throughout the whole album, but its close, so it may become a easy B-Side. Still considering ideas for the album cover, still haven't come up with a solid plan, ill let you know, but for now, i must sleep.

Post Latersssss.

Still Working

Hello All. Once again i keep meaning to post on this thing more, but for some reason it seems to get left behind quite a bit. Well just to let you know, i am still on the recording stages of this new record. Probably about halfway through the recording stages now, which is awesome, because now i can start to experiment. Been trying to include Binaural (Holophonic) sections on some of the tracks, so for the lucky ones that use headphone can hear a few extras.
A few more tracks have been added to the album, being as i were flowing with ideas when i started to record it, which is excellent. But recently ive been taking a break from recording as i believe i could add more into it, im just not sure what yet though, i suppose thats why i am experimenting. Bit of writers block if you ask me. Earlier this week i decided to nab a home build headphone amp called The Vic Mix. Making loop delays, using a lot of cables was cool, caused a health hazard though.
For the album cover, ive been trying to get a set in stone cover, being as ive decided to scrap the one i used below. I was thinking something between a Victorian wallpaper theme, cross with eco friendly materials, but we'll have to see.

Ill keep you postedddddddddd. Simon.
