07/05/05: What do you know, it's done!
Yep, the new CD, 'Realization of the Shadow' is done. Check out some samples on the media page. Dean and I are trying to decide how to release it. I'll probably send it to a few labels just to see if anyone is interested, but most likely Dean and I are going to start up a label (again). Dean's got another IST album almost done, I'm anxious to start making the next album, and it would be nice if we could just do it on our own terms. Lots of work though...
04/06/05: Yes, we are still working on it!
Nearly a year later, The new QD album is almost done. Dean has completed all his vocals. All that is left is some guest vocal spots, maybe a few more samples and some mix tweaking. The album finally has a name as well: 'Realization of the Shadow'. oooh, Jungian reference...
10/23/04: Damn, has it been 3 months already?
Well we are still working on it. More vocals. Jyri's violin. Lots and lots of strange noises. Realisticly even after it is 'done' I'll probably spend another couple months tweaking shit and obsessing over snare drum sounds. Still, we are really happy with how it is turning out. You can actually hear Dean singing without it sounding like those pop albums where the music is waaay in the background compared to the vocals (which we hate).
07/23/04: Coming Along Nicely...
We are about half done, I would say with the new CD. Music is coming together and Dean has been writing and singing. We even had an oboist from the Oregon Symphony over the other day. Soon... very soon. OK, more like six months or so. But if Skinny Puppy can get away with 5 years between albums, well why not...
05/02/04: The Stars Have Aligned
And work has begun in earnest on the next QD album. About 8 song 'fragments' have been created - much more work needs to be done on them. So far about 37 minutes of music, so about half-way there. Dean has settled in Seattle and is busy writing lyrics. This may end up being a concept album, if we come up with a cool concept.
