As COVID-19 self-isolation grips the world, it is time to update you on where this project is now.
Only a few days before I was gripped with fever, I had visited Kev and provided him with the sound files of the seven songs I had recorded during January and February as just guitar and voice. These were the versions with the in tune guitar and re-recorded vocal parts. As this project is also being mixed and produced separately by Martin Taylor, this visit was really about reconnecting as writers and looking for another way to develop the songs.
Recently Kevan has been getting to grips with his studio using the NI Maschine software and controller. When I listened to the musical pieces he has already constructed I was certain he could use those same skills to augment my soundfiles into something new and interesting. Only days later I came down flu symptoms so have been recovering at home, but Kevan has confirmed he has integrated his software into the DAW I have been using, and can add his arrangements to my tracks.
At the present time then, the project moves along on 3 different fronts: my versions that I will add to as and when I can; Martin's mixes and additions; and Kevan's arrangements using Maschine.
It may be that once we have everything we will cut it all up and reassemble it into something never heard before. We need something to see us through this crazy time in history.
Stay healthy everyone and stay at home.
