:: Recone Helmut's Studio Log ::

:: Sunday, January 25, 2004 ::

Well, we have a record... almost. There are two tracks still in the development phase - I'll fill you in on that real soon. So, I would say we are still on track to be finished in March. I've sent several promo packs to labels and have had more responses than expected - however - i think we'll probably end up releasing this album ourselves. Went to the Knob Records party on The Frying Pan last night and we decided that's where we'll do the Helmutvision release party. More info coming. Back to work at Saatchi tomorrow - really dreading it but gotta make that cake. Stay tuned.

Most of the mixes are done. Over the next couple of days I'll be doing some final tweaks and then referencing each mix on as many different systems as I can. I am pretty happy with how each track came out.... I normally hate everything by the time it gets to this point 'cause I've heard it so much... but shit sounds pretty good. I am anxious to get all these tracks mastered cause then you really know what you've got.

Sarah is coming up this weekend and I'm really looking forward to seeing her - it's been a week.

The mixes are coming along. Spencer came over a couple of nights ago and gave me some good feedback. I should have all the actualy mixing done tonight and then will start to go over each track with a fine tooth comb- deciding on all the final tweaks.

I am upstate now. The web cam wont update until I get back. I have a little mixing room setup in my moms house here in Tivoli. She doenst use the house in the winter so its a good place to get work done. Things are going well. Will update with more specifics later.

So. I am on a 3 week break from work and will update the blog at least once a day. I am trying to get some unfinished tracks completed and recorded before I go up to Tivoli for two weeks. I have about 7 completed tracks which need to be mixed and I'll get that done up there. The 2600 Funkus track has been a real thorn in my side 'cause its a remix of the most popular track from Quarks and Gluons and its got to be good. I worked on that a bunch today as well as some unfinished tracks.

I sent about 60 packs to labels this past week. I am really hoping we get some bites. I would like to get this finding a label thing off my fucking plate. I mean, I am prepared to release 'Helmutvision' myself but I a good little label with reasonable distro and connections would be nice - let me focus on getting the live show retooled.

Lots more to report but it's beer thirty. See you on the cam tomorrow.

As you can tell the new web site has launched. I bet you thought it would never happen! That's what you get for doubting me!
