Afterburnin'

Holiday break came at perfect time, took a complete break from the Chipfusion material as well - and simply let it steam in the back of my mind subconsciously. I went back into workin' with the songs some days ago. Had a free day from my daytime job on friday and planned beforehand that it's a "Chipfusion day" ... and that it certainly was.

I went through six songs and recorded additional soundscapes with guitar. Back when this whole Chipfusion was born, the original idea was to mix chiptunes into Scumfusion's scifi grind mayhem. Now ... it's not about inserting grind into chiptunes, but it's sort of inserting certain kind of metal edge to the chiptunes. Ok, some of the chiptunes in this package are quite uptempo to say the least (wait until you hear them drums in some cases!) ... but there are more midtempo and even somewhat slowish songs, too.

Based on the recordings from last friday, the expansion idea seems to be working nicely. Not just in "metal" way, but ... in many ways. Today I've recorded guitars for one song already and aim to do some more today. When I get the guitar sessions completed, there might be still some sound expanding sessions ahead - not necessarily massive ones, but perhaps some ambient elements. We'll see.

In any case, I really like the way this package is forming - it is quite different from "Yksi" release, but yet at the same time it is a clear continuation. Twisted continuation. ;)
