Mistral Recording

So now that everything’s getting real organized (FINALLY!) with the studio and everything, I feel really good about taking things forward with Mistral again. There are still some things I have to organize in my head as far as music projects, but I am definitely looking to move forward with SOME kind of cd release.

I have a ton of GREAT songs and riffs I’ve been amassing for a while, and it’s just due to my situation these past few years that I have not been able to record much, especially in the vocal department. Since we should have our building for VoxHouse Studio hopefully by October 1st, I can begin to lay vocals as early as the beginning of Oct, in the meantime I will work more on the foundation of the tracks and writing some lyrics.

Anyway I am really excited to finish recording the new material, I think you will agree that it takes Mistral to a whole new level.

Please note that from now on, any heavy music projects I’m involved with will be organized into the ScaniMETAL section of this website, so you can find info and mp3’s on the projects there as I get time to put them up… Consider ScaniMETAL VoxHouse’s personal record label…

Mixing updates..

The Enslavement of Beauty Perdition EP is well on its way to completion.. currently it’s about 80% finished, and we should be finished with production and final mixing within the next couple of weeks. They have an excellent video which will be released with the EP which will be a special edition digipack, it is the band’s first video and it will be for the song “Lush“.  For those who are EoB fans since their Traces O’ Red & Megalomania albums, Perdition in many ways continues where Megalomania left off, it is epic and only just the beginning of things to come..

I’ve been working on several other things also, like doing some work with the rock band GreyHalo Glass Autumn, as well as resuming production on my Mistral yet to be named full length cd. There have also been some talks of mixing an upcoming album for Norway’s black metal outfit Tremor, so we will see how that goes.

Music aside, work continues on my book/animation project which shall hopefully soon see the light of day.. ;) With some vacation R&R time coming next month, there should be plenty of opportunity to sit and write under the shade of some tree.. also I must do some stuff to this site and update it more. I have hesitated to write any sort of personal thoughts etc, but there is a lot on my mind nowadays and I think that the importance of certain matters (and even just having an outlet to get ones ideas out there that can’t be easily contained in music or a book etc) outweighs anything else.. but we will see as time and desire permits.
