i´m making a little statement where we are at the moment.
jari has struggled with the technical problems but there is light in the end of the tunnel.
so we got the computer finally from finland.it´s new and it works but it didn´t work as we hoped.
we found out that 32bit windows only allows 2 gb Ram memory to be used and even he has 4 in his computer now,he can´t use it all.
it sucks! so we are buying a device to help us. a receptor.
receptor has 2 gb ram and it´s a rack device that will help us to use it for some of the synths.
the problem has been that jari can´t work the songs in one complete file.
he has to have many projects from the same song and when he is making the synths in midi then the ram runs out and the computer falls down.
this is very time consuming and kills the inspiration because jari can´t compose the synths in a normal way and one wrong note can cause him a whole days work.
so the situation is now this.
we are finished with everything else except the vocals and synths.
and we are not talking about single layer synths.we are talking about more orchestral stuff with layers on top of each other.and some songs has some cool choirs also! jippiii!
one song is fully ready with the vocals and most of the songs has a lot of vocals ready but not totally finished.also the vocals has more dimensions.
so people, please understand that the scale for this album is much bigger than the first ones.i love the first one too but this is on a different level.
you can´t compare these two at all.
so we just have to wait that jari bring us the food on the table.
we also made some cool percussion stuff one night together when i was visiting him in helsinki.
so as soon as we are done with recording we start mixing it.
jari has already started to make the basic sound for drums ,guitars and bass. so it will be exciting time when the mixing starts.
one thing is good to know also.
when the album is ready mixed and mastered then nuclear blast will need
3 months to promote it before it´s out.it´s a huge company at is has
it´s own ways of working.
but let´s think this way,we die someday but the music lives on after we have left.And that is just what music should be.Jari has the vision as only he knows and he can´t give up until the album is ready but he wants to make sure that he is happy with it before leaving it to you...to listen.
thank you for the patience and we´ll keep you informed!
merry christmas everybody and next year we´ll have some winterfun again!
