The work never stops....

Now that the Aetherius keyboard tracks are done (give or take two solos), I can now focus on my own, personal music. I'm still in the process of mixing ThisIsNotASubliminalMessage which should be done by the end of this week. At the latest, Monday night. I have to turn it in for the Music Synthes Senior Showcase which will be next Wednesday, December 9th (one day after my birthday, yay!) The mix is about half way done, and I'd say about another 6-8 hours is all I need to finish it up, or at least get listenable for the Showcase.

I had to put Michael Silva's screamo stuff on the side for right now to focus on my 3 song demo, but he's pretty cool and his songs aren't near done anyway. He gave them to me early knowing that I'd have to get to them eventually.

I'm currently working on a song with a working title of Cosmic Furnace. Why Cosmic Furnace?

shutup

Anyway, Josh is helping me out with the lyrics and he's done a pretty good job with them. The song is finally written, but the bad news is I won't have time to track live drums. I'll have to stick with either DFH or Battery (haven't decided yet). I'm hoping Nick can do guitars again because he's such a solid guitar player. Anybody who can play ThisIsNotASubliminalMessage is good enough to use on anything. So we'll see. He's going through some stuff at his job and he might even go on tour, so he might have other stuff in mind.

So aside from the small drum details I need to fix now that I'm not using a real drummer, the lyrics and the music are done. I'll be recording Josh pretty soon (probably next week) and I'll certainly be mixing like a mad man in the coming days.

The third song on the this demo is simply going to be epic trailer music. All done digitally from my home studio (and maybe the MS labs... pretty sure I'll be using the MS labs).

Once the semester's done, I'll be working a website ready complete with my portfolio, this blog, links to my social networking accounts, my services (more on that later), and bio and all that rudimentary stuff. I'll also fix up my Myspace account to look a bit more presentable and put up all the new mixes of my music.

Nick's wife will be coming up with cool color themes for my website, though I already have a few things in mind. But anyway, I have to make a few emails and get back to mixing.
