Minds over Music

A week of work and we are close to the end for Mind Over Matter; this track is a bit complex, though it's sounding easy to the ears which is interesting.
Yesterday, we wrote all sections and all riffs until the 2nd chorus and started the grand finale, it will be a live blast!! In the end of the day we worked the instrumental's final section for this track, it's kinda 'Van Helsing' mood and there will be many solos here(bass and drum solos too) , lots of details on this one - this is a 'shreder's' instrumental:)
Still a part of the instrumental to do and the 'finale' to close the song.


More news next week:)

Mind Over Matter & The News

We moved forward on 'Mind Over Matter' writing and we got a solid structure until the 2nd chorus, there's an instrumental section to work tomorrow plus the grand finale... then the writing will be all done!
The guitar parts are making sense now and we're getting a sound closer to Nanoworld and Racing the Hours on this track also.

We recorded the guitar and bass parts for the demo of 'The News' during the afternoon, great job by Mr. Nuno on bass (slap and slap and slap:)
Linx is working the lyrics and there's a taste of fantastic in the air...let's see what he will write for these ones!:)

Mike is doing his first recordings and we're experimenting new recording techniques - achieving great results...nice strike Mike!

Writing

It's 9:20 in the morning and I'm on my way to the studio, we have a lot to work on 'Mind Over Matter' song though, there's many riffs that are already written that can be used.

The chorus for this track is great; in fact the concept started when I saw a Discovery Channel program on TV about the human brain capacity and future powers like healing, moving objects...there's a lot of research in US institutes about this, it's very deep and interesting.

Most of the ideas for this song came when we listened to a riff by Mr.Nuno on our old studio, so his riff has at least 1 year, then when Linx and I were on our way home he got very inspired and started to sing riffs...these riffs led to a session where Mike, Sam and I got other ideas...
so let's consider at this point that we have 95% of the overall writing done and that we just need to put an order on 'Mind' ideas to have 100% final score. After we finish the demo recording for 'Mind Over Matter' and 'The News' we will start to work on pre-production.

Pre-production means that we will be doing arrangements, sounds, effects, guitar/keyboard/bass solos note by note, vocal lines, back vocals, etc etc etc....

16th January - back to studio

That's right, we will return to studio next tuesday to finish the writing of 'Mind Over Matter' and to record guitars, keyboards and vocals for 'The News'.

I'll post some pics then, have a good weekend!:)

Label and back to studio

Dear friends,

This is our 1st post of the new year; we wish you all a great 2007!!!

Has you know, we did a great effort to finish the writings for the new album before Christmas, though, there were 2 tracks that remained unfinished - 'The News' and 'Mind Over Matter'.
We will be gathering today to speak and to align some ideas about written songs and about the making of the 2 tracks above mentioned. We have some days off so we will accelerate again to finally give an end to the writing process.

We can assure you that this album will not be released under the label of Magic Rope Music, in fact, this album will be released under a foreigner bigger label that we will not reveal until it's all black on white. We are confident to give you more info about this at the end of this month.

Next posts will follow soon...
