I just wanted to let everyone know that I am remixing the Novellice record, “the Architect”. I’m still not finished recording Side B, but all of Side A will be remixed and available to download soon. If you want to hear the difference, head over to facebook:

Other than that, I should mention that I now have www.theredpress.com and will be moving everything over there soon-ish. I’d like to create a flash page, but I’m not sure if I’ll have the time to get into that. If anyone wants to offer their (free? =D ) skills at creating a flash page, let me know.

There are links on the various websites (myspace, facebook, etc) that will bring you here. It never occurred to me, that it would be good or necessary to link back to those websites. So I’ll work out a solution, but for now this fancy link-filled post will suffice.

NOTE: Myspace pretty much sucks now, they re-compress all music at 64kpbs or worse. That basically means the audio sounds like shit. Do yourself a favor, and go above to Facebook…..I will try to get a good selection of music uploaded there instead.

Pandemonium Recital

That should be everything important for now. Cheers.

So I promised videos, and here they are. They’re both Pandemonium Recital songs, one from each of the records, although they do not officially exist yet. Anyway, have at them!

Just finished a new cover of Coheed and Cambria’s “Wake Up”. You can check it out on youtube, so hurry over there quick! And then come right back (after you bookmark my youtube page!) because I have more in store for you here.

So was that fun or what? Anyway, my birthday is tomorrow. I’m not really all that excited, well, besides that I’ll get to spend some time with my wife and I’m sure she has some goodies in store. Haha. But tomorrow I will have another video to upload to youtube, so check back and I’ll link you up.

Cheers,

There will be some bonus stuff coming soon, exclusively to novellice.com, in the Audio section. To begin with, I will be posting random tracks and things that nobody has ever heard under the section: “theRedSauce”.

In addition to that, I will be releasing a revamped joke project that was initially just some badly played guitar and stupid titles such as “sporkfistmakedeadofyou” or “stuffed animals go to war and like it“. Now new and improved, there will be titles such as “Revenge of the Reapettes” and “Pandora takes it in the Mouth“. Generally the songs will be kind of silly, probably really stupid, and you should not take any of it seriously in any fucking way. Okies? I hope you play these songs while you play Kid Icarus, and I hope it ruins the game for you.

Good times ahead, stay tuned for more crap. Oh and tomorrow is my birthday, I turn 31. Let’s all celebrate my lack of success on this glorious day!

So hey there, I hope everyone has been well. I’ve been alright, spent a lot of time learning some new tricks to apply to the music, and just generally staying well fed.

RECORD UPDATE
Progress is being made on the first Novellice record, “The Architect”, and I hope you are all looking forward to it.

The record is going to be split up into two parts, so I will release Side A first and then I’ll follow it with Side B as quickly as possible. The audio sounds really good, even from the amateur-ish masters I’ve been crafting from a wonderful new plugin called Ozone 3 from Izotope (well, it’s new to me!).

There will also be drums and bass on every single track, and here and there you may spot some cello, piano, or who knows….

But here’s the progress so far. D=drums, B=bass, G=guitar, V=vocals, or F=finished. Let’s go through the list:
G,V 01: A Walk Through the Garden of Life
G,V 02: Beneath the Weeping Willow’s Roots Lay Evil Rest
D,G,V 03: The Continuous Abuse of the Physical and Non-Physical
G,V 04: Is my Skin Burning?
D,G,V 05: Tearing the Way Through: the Death of Katrina Suun
F 06: Drifting Through the Earth
F 07: Long Pauses at the Docks
G,V 08: Under the Folds of Diseased Flesh
G,V 09: Somewhere in Abandoned Line C-15
G 10: Letter by Letter Behind Closed Eyelids
F 11: The Bloodied Blade of Tein I: Waiting at Falpoint
G,V 12: The Bloodied Blade of Tein II: Dead Doctor, What’s the Occasion?
G 13: The Bloodied Blade of Tein III: Forever Always Ends Abruptly
D,G 14: The Bloodied Blade of Tein IV: Two Hands Apart
F 15: The Bloodied Blade of Tein V: Standing in the Air of Death
F 16: Meet the Alien and His Wicked Intentions

Seems like a lot left to go, right? But believe it or not, the vocals will take the longest out of everything that is left, and I started vox for track 01 only an hour ago and they’re now finished except for one or two high notes that I’m saving for tomorrow. The drums are great, you just find a pattern that you like and Drraaag it onto the track and voila, you’re done. Isn’t that smexy?

WEBCOMIC
There’s not much I can tell you right now, other than I hope we get somewhere with the webcomic. The artist (Tucker Rzepecki) and I have been discussing it, and trying to get a plot worked out for the first issue, fleshing out the characters that we’ll be introducing, etc. I’m hopeful, and maybe in the coming month I’ll have more news on that.

And finally, if you like forums, there’s a really sweet forum here that has all kinds of threads and maybe, just maybe with a little love (and some posts from you!), it could flourish into a kick ass community of ‘Press fans. So head over and join! ***There’s a link above, but I’ll give you this link here if you can’t find your way:
…to the forums!

Aaaand, that’s it. Buh-bye now.
