Progressing

I've heard three demosongs with possible final vocals on them, rough mixes - sounds very good and enjoyable to me. There's even some "sing along" moments, heh heh ... but jokes aside, it feels nice that the package is progressing for real.

Oh, also something else. I was recording some guitar solos (or more like "solos" so far) to further enchance the material. It might be that not all guitar noise is used but we'll see. I only went through 4 songs so far, going to go all the rest through and listen if there would be good spots for some more guitarchaos.

More arrangements

I've been continuing doing the vocal arrangements, as well as writing some new lyrics (sources of inspiration ranging from space news into some scifi and less scifi movies, as well as games - not to mention imagination, oh and ... some zombies). Just finished recording the 15th vocal demo, so ... there are only 5 songs to go.

No lyrics done for the last 5 songs yet - we are hoping that Timo would find his (too well!) archived SF-lyrics. Lyrics that he's made already quite some time ago ... if he doesn't find those lyric bases, then I'll write the rest of the lyrics myself. Well, hopefully those archived lyrics will be found. Variation in lyrics' style never harms.

Arrangements

Some time has passed (and lots of real life things taking that time), but finally things are going ahead when it comes to Scumfusion. Recently I started finetuning and arranging lyrics, fitting them into songs - and making rough vocal demos myself ... so that it would be as easy and smooth job as possible for Timo to do the final recordings.

8 songs are ready for recording vocals currently and I'm aiming to continue with the rest during next 1-2 weeks. Hopefully we'll get this package completed still during 2012. We'll see.

Oh, and also the song count has dropped too. It's the good thing in this delay - I've had time to absorb the material more than enough and I've been brutally critical in what works and what doesn't. Four songs were dropped off recently, simply because they weren't good enough in my opinion. Total amount of songs will be 20 and it looks like the 30 minutes overall length will be quite close in the end. Fits us well.
