Sound and Vision

I'll do it short and quick again. And, yes ; i can do it...

• 'got Ximeng's approval about the new recorded drum parts for our Derek Bailey tribute. We are now discussing on how we shall proceed for our forthcoming split EP devoted to Gaspard Noé's movie "Seul contre Tous"...
• mad hip hop instrumentalists R.E.D.A. might get involved into the Multiply project. We should talk about this later on
• former Tuxedomoon drummer Alain Lefebvre and actual founding father of the young Stilll label remembered me an actual old drum duet fantasy we've dreamed about some years ago and there are chances it will finally take place !
  
• as promised, here is the full downloadable version of Constantin's jam with his friend Philippe on overdubbed flute. The track is not completely finished yet but you have the basis. Quite obviously, i called it "Fumette"...
• aside from the Multiply project, François Vanvinckenroy came back to the idea of the one shot Carpigstroke Band. If it shall be done, we both think it must be under a completely new formula. I'll keep you informed anyway
• finally, i have now my own dedicated MySpace page and you can check it out here
  

A big thank you to all the people who are actually really reading those quite simple words...
See you next time

May this be june ahead ?

Umh... I didn't noticed the last update was almost one month ago. But it's the same thing in life. First, we are very excited and then, when things get in place, a sort of habit comes in... Anyway, i'm sure it's better that way since i don't believe anyone of you want to receive newsletter several times a week. So... What happened since last time ?

• François and i did a little brainstorming about the Bridge track. Clarifications about how the melody should be played on keyboards - i used to place the strong time in the wrong place - general observations about timekeeping and now the track is almost done. We thought about a possible guitar solo in the middle but we gave up the idea
• I recorded again the drum part for the Derek Bailey tribute with Ximeng. I await for his commentaries. Chances are we're going to release a split cd
  
• Exoseth and i should begin to record his long poem sometime in june. Things turned out to be pretty difficult to settle and i think the end result will most likely be into the spoken word realm
• Marja came at the Goddess Studio to record two songs wich in the end will be included in her Rhinestone Lives songbook. About our duet ? Well, nothing yet
  
• Constantin invited his friend Philippe to record some flute overdub upon one of the two jams we made earlier. Stone music as expected. I should try to add more percussions, maybe keyboards and even some voices. I don't know... Music is all about being at the right place at the right time
• And meanwhile, other stuff is standing by ; Ari, Daniel, Guy, Rival and Vincenzo's tracks are on the waiting list, but i hope not for long

Didn't had the time - no kidding - to put samples of some of the songs i talk about above. But i think i will very soon. You'll be informed, i promise !

Lately, i thought about the project that once Multiply will be finished, it should be available and available only through download.
