8 songs, 40min

Monday, February 25th, 2008

So it’s clocking in at right around 40 minutes. Minimum is 35, so that’s good.

Rain Song, Reach Your Heart, Penelope, Edge, Edge (reprise), Hope, Tip Of My Tongue, My Own Way. Not sure of the running order.

Also, we need an album title and artwork. Anyone have any ideas about that?

RIP: Community Forum and Quitches listserv

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

This is a notice: the Freakwitch Community Forum and the Quitches listserv are no more.

We haven’t been using them in a while, and both ultimately succumbed to the gravitational allure of spam. It was too much work to constantly try to weed out spam, and they weren’t being used. So…. buhbye.

This site, as well as our myspace page, are still active.

RPM home stretch

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

Still recording like crazy. Spent the weekend up the coast getting Guitar tracks from Todd and Bass tracks from Yo. Recording went well, and is (just about) done. I’ll probably add a few of my own guitar tracks here and there this week, but the bulk of the remaining work is in editing and mixing. We have 8 songs for the album, 2 of which are pretty much done. I am going to try to finish up one additional song each night before Friday, when we’ll get together and put this baby to bed.

Watch this space. Looks like we’ll (finally!) have some new music up here this time next week!

recording like fiends

We’re giving the RPM challenge a serious go. We have about 40min worth of songs in various stages of production, and we have less than two weeks left. Some of the songs are coming out quite nicely, I’m particularly excited about The Rain Song. This week/weekend we’ll get the last of the tracking done, and next week I will be madly mixing and editing to finish by the 29th.

Not much else of an update, we aren’t gigging right now, but as you know we have a few lined up. We also are on board for this year’s Maine Pagan Pride Day, which is always fun. Last year there were dancers, and I believe that will be the case this year again as well.
