Falling Edge

In an unexpected turn of events, Falling Edge has actually completed something on schedule! The last of the keyboard parts and all of the vocals for The Sniper, the Piper, and Me were recorded in the past couple of weeks, which brings an end to the recording for the second album. There is a small possibility that one more song may be added to this release (possibly a solo guitar piece), but for now, things are being considered finished.

The next phase in the production of the album is the mixing, a good deal of which has been done already. With progress advancing so quickly, there is a real possibility that the second album will be released by Christmas…

All of the guitar parts for what is likely the last song of the upcoming album are now finished, as guitarist Chris Rupert completed recording a couple of days ago. This means that there are only a few small keyboard parts to record and the vocals, and all the recording will be complete. As stated in an earlier post, the plan is to have all the recording done by the end of the summer, and it looks like things are moving nicely toward that goal.

The last few weeks have seen a lot of activity as the end of recordings draws near. Chris finished recording all the acoustic guitar parts for Convergence at Fossil Falls this week, which means that song is now complete and ready for mixing, a process that began a few days ago. Drums, bass, keyboard, and acoustic guitar have also been completed for The Sniper, the Piper and Me, which means only a few electric guitar parts and the vocals are left and the recording stage for this album will be finished up. The plan is to get all the recording and most of the mixing finished up by the end of the summer, but we’ll see how it goes…

As an interesting side note, Falling Edge guitarist Chris Rupert has been selected to perform at the After Hours Electric Prog Jam at this year’s Cruise to the Edge sailing from Miami. The song list and the songs he’ll be performing on have not been finalized, but those interested can keep track of things here. The progress of the event will also be updated at the AHEPJ Facebook page.
