Falling Edge

After months of planning, arranging, and rehearsing we finally laid some drum tracks down for the first half of Final Dissent. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but you may remember from previous posts that this epic song is over 27 minutes long, so we’ve gotten a pretty big chunk taken care of. I’ve also been busy working on instruments for the other songs on the album, with plans to record vocals for Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea in the next week or two. Here’s where we’re at:

1. Arcane Knowledge – some backup vocals still left to record
2. Just One More Wish – finished
3. What Are You Waiting For? – finished
4. Not Everyone’s Cup of  Tea – some acoustic guitar parts, some keyboards, and vocals left to record
5. Whatever Happened to Christmas? – finished
6. Final Dissent – drums recorded for 1st half

Here’s a few photos and a video from last night’s session:

Well, 2021 has gotten of to a very rough start for me, but we are making progress in our recording. Rob and I got together earlier this week to go over some ideas he has for drums and percussion for the last track of the upcoming album, Final Dissent. We roughed out about 9 minutes of this mammoth work (you may remember from earlier posts that Final Dissent is over 27 minutes long, so that’s a pretty good sized chunk). I’ve also been able to get some recording done on the other tracks. Here’s a summary of where we’re at:

1. Arcane Knowledge – nearly done; some guitar parts and backup vocals still left to record
2. Just One More Wish – really, really nearly done; just need to record a few keyboard parts
3. What Are You Waiting For? – finished
4. Not Everyone’s Cup of  Tea – only have drums recorded for this one, but am nearly ready to record rhythm guitar parts and vocals
5. Whatever Happened to Christmas? – finished
6. Final Dissent – still writing drum parts

As you can see, we’re inching closer to completion, and Rob is nearly done his drum recording duties. I still have a fair amount of recording to do yet, but I’m confident that I’ll be caught up to Rob soon. We’ll keep you posted as things progress.
