Quite festive colors, matching the season ... dont'cha think? :)

Tracklist and release date for 'Three thirds'

The name of the album is 'Three thirds'.
Digital release date set for 16th Dec 2019.

Track list below.

From soundscapes into mastering stage

As I thought the final soundscapin' stage got completed fast, one eve session. During past two days I've spent about all my free time with mastering and I'm about getting it completed.

It looks the release date might be on monday already. I'll post track list and artwork here in coming day or two ... or so. I'll also make full album stream for youtube, and the release is going to be distributed through cdbaby so expect to see it coming to spotify etc services before Christmas 2019 arrives. The cover artwork is quite festive, coincidentally. :)

Guitars completed

The rest three songs got guitars recorded during past two days. Tonight I also recorded some additional guitars, but now I think it's all done when it comes to guitars.

Next up is the stage three, additional soundscapes as / if / where needed (based on pure feeling). Probably nothing major up, but something, anyway. Yeah.

I think I might make two different versions of this chip release. This one I'm working currently, is the "main release", fusion package. Depending on how things feel, I might end up doing a very stripped down version with plain chiptunes and simplified drums. But I'm not doing it right away - if I'm doing such thing. It could work as remix release.

It seems this release might well be ready still during 2019. We'll see.

Time warp

Some time has passed. Yeah. What happened?

Daily life rolling fast, lots of things to do - with Chipfusion, I did the guitar sound experiments in late September as I planned, but then work with Chipfusion paused. It just happened, and in the end it felt like a good thing. As I continued working with Chipfusion around middle of November, it felt like coming to the songs with all fresh ears and vibes. So, ...

I started recording guitars for the 20 songs about 2-3 weeks ago. 17 songs have all the guitars recorded, 3 songs remain to be expanded with guitars. So far it feels the material has turned just the way I wanted. Recently I've also crafted the front and back cover artworks - front cover is 100 % ready while back cover is about 80 % done.

I'm hoping to get the album released still during 2019.

Drumworks

During past two days I went all the songs through, 10 songs per evening - and tweaked the bassdrum & snare all through. Also some tom works. And this drumworks session was not just sample editing and stuff (it was that, too), but also listening each song multiple times through and editing / changing beats where necessary, at times also where not necessary at all.

These two days were very good drum sessions, yeah. Really changed the overall vibe big time, and the music flows really nicely now. Much closer to my vision for how it should sound, yes. Feels really good, again.

Next up ... I think it might well be the guitar department. Will have to start doing some sound experiments next, and then some recording tests. When that's done, it's up to recording the real stuff for the songs. Some of these new songs feel like ... I already like them big time, but imagining how they will sound with guitars recorded, really makes me grin.

There. :)
