The Last Session...

Tonight is the last session for recording at SAE with Zack and Lucain and I hope it goes a lot smoother than last.

Apparently Evil Adam is really a digital age only "band" and anything that is magnetic hates having me around. An 8 hour session was really difficult to get through on Saturday and we got way less than we hoped to done, so hopefully tonight goes a lot less... fucky.

Anyhow, there is so much work to be done to finish this CD and unfortunately too much of it is going to be done outside of the confines of SAE and the sound rooms that they provide. What does that mean? Neighbors of different places will be pissed off a few times in the next year or so.

Oh well!

Last Night's Recording Rocked and More...

So, for those of you keeping track, last night's recording went swimingly well. Jay managed to play his ass off on 4 songs and did one song he has never ever played before within 2 takes. I owe him 50 bucks on a bet for that one (less than 3 takes gets him the gold).

Anyhow, I think this is going to be something special. Zack and Lucain have been producing/engineering these songs at SAE and they are doing a great job, and no matter how much hard work this has been for both Jay and myself we are still having fun with it. So now to start planning the next phase of things, guitar and vocals.

After that, then it is all about mixing and mastering, which I'll only really be giving the yay or nay on how things come together, but I am psyched for them to be done to be able to plan the next step.... MAKING SOME GODDAMN VIDEOS, finally!

I have a few folks that I know for damn sure will most likely be down to help me with that, but I have something interesting planned for the final release of this work and those videos are a big part of it. I think some form of contest may be in order for one video, maybe animated or something, however, I will need a strong grassroots push by folks willing to help me spread the details once they are to come about. Oh, the interwebs, how awesome you are.

Anyhow, I have a lot to worry about before all THAT happens. I am getting married to my Rosa Ferrer (soon to be Rosa Rosa) this year, and that is a major big huge fucking deal. I'm so psyched and happy about that. It will, however, suck all the energy and monetary resources out of me, and rightfully so it will be the most important day of my life. As such, I will have to hold on to next year as the return of Evil Adam... which is not a bad thing. 2009 is 10 years from when Evil Adam started playing live, so maybe it all makes sense for that anyway.

Oh, and Ruben Rodriguez, Angel Rosa, and Will Bookman, you guys are already in my mind for set videos that are not part of the contest thingy... that will be for complete strangers to enter. Don't worry =)

More Recording Tonight

Jay and I are recording some more drum and bass tracks tonight, and no I don't meant the techno stuff. We're laying down the foundations for 3 songs and re-doing tracks for one song we did earlier, because, well this new setup sounds better. In the next month I have to finish up an assload of guitar and vocal tracks, so I'm very glad and thankful to Jay that he can do this for me.

This CD/release/album or whatever you want to call it is definitely going to kick ass. Finally I'll have something that really sounds like a professional recording for Evil Adam, though I really wish I could have had more people on it, like you know, a full band! Oh well, here's to hoping that this recording may just help me put those pieces together for next year.

What I've been up to...

So, for those of you who care, I do stuff. More work was done on the next Evil Adam release, and this past Saturday went very well. 3 songs were tracked on drums and bass, bringing the total up to about 9.

So far Jay Curcio is the only person on this recording besides me, but I'm hoping to change that. I want John to do some basswork, and if one song I have in mind gets done I would want to bring in another person who was important to this song ever existing in to the mix as well, provided we can get the logistics worked out. Scheduling is a bitch!

Also, for those not in the know, I'm writing at www.castersrealm.com . The site is primarily focused on multiplayer role playing games, but I often get to skew the news towards my demented sense of humor. I started off just doing actual news posts but I'm also doing the "blog" thing from time to time, writing pieces that are not your standard gaming site ilk.

Anyhow, check out www.castersrealm.com and let me know what you think of it, and check back here for more info on "The Root of All Evil" which should be coming out this year, but I make no guarantee of that. 2009 isn't that far away when you're almost 30. Time is a fucking asshole.
