I'm finally finishing up an album I've been writing for years. Last April or so I dropped a shitload on some core, high quality studio equipment. So now I can finally work on the songs in a deliberate, productive way--creating clicks, auditioning parts and ideas, layering guitars, getting proper sounds, programming, etc. It feels good; been a long time waiting for that kind of control over the craft.

So I've got 8 or so songs written, and am just finishing up clicks for the last track. When I get bored with that, I move to the other songs and work on other guitar lines, etc.

It's tough, as I recently just started an intense program in the States and it takes up a lot of time, but I'm here by my self so also don't have much of a social life. That gives me time to pick away at things in my little studio.

I'm really looking forward to getting things done and feel I'm making good progress, so that makes me pretty happy. It's been a long time waiting.

A social life just distracts from creating something, anyway.

Since I don't have time right now to write something more meaningful, I'll just link to metal archives page

All current and past bands are there, along with extra live stuff and miscellaneous

Signed on as bass guitarist with PAROXSIHZEM a couple of months ago. Aside from that there are two other musical projects that are in various stages of becoming real. Scheduling is a primary concern.
I am also heavily occupied with repairing and building music gear. At the moment I have my own amplifier that is basically done aside from some channel switching bullshit, a SLOClone for INTO OBLIVION/CROMLECH, a tube screamer prototype, a spring reverb prototype all being worked on.

I also have a TASCAM 38 that I will be upgrading in the very near future

Only analog is real.....

holy fuck do you have tape for it?!??

I do, i have probably 12 or so reels. 10 or so have been bulk erased, the other few have some junk on them from when the previous owner was showing me how to use the machine.

We ran through a bunch of them so he could show me the noise floor and also to demonstrate how the 1/2" formulations he was using was apparently more resistant at shedding and whatnot. I probably would like to have a brand new reel on hand if i was tracking something serious. But if im running an old one for like an hour to check the levels/sound and theres no trouble, I anticipate that the reel should be ok.

Man, that's fucking amazing.

We have a TEAC reel to reel and a bunch of reels, still haven't done anything with it yet

Yeah, completely agreed.

What model is it? Have you at least tried it out to see if it works?

A-7010. It does indeed work.

Fuck, I missed it until you pointed it out ^^

My band is currently working on our 3rd cd, we probably have more tracks than is needed for the CD but its good to have some to pick from. The tracks are mostly at the scratch phase so we've got a bit of work ahead of us.

Other than that I'm trying to do some recording projects on the side, have a bud that's trying to do a Scar Symmetry type band.

I need to start selling some of my old gear too, running out of room

what's your band called?

Mindwarp Chamber

Wow thanks!! No not all of it we have some songs that are more Power Metal, I think the song On the Mend was on myspace that has more of a yes vibe dunno.. Its all over the place.

be sure to post about it when the album is done

Clocking in at 14:57, I just finished recording the longest song that I've ever written. Going to release this on a new EP with the other 2 songs with a new label called Fatal Judgement in February (hopefully).

Also am working on the album cover. I have no idea how others will receive this one, but I think it looks awesome.
