All the stuff that's in and out of the cellar

Busy life stuff on for Mr Wizard and Theo over the next little while, so we have a break between mid aug and mid sept. Such is the nature of things. I've got some Adulting to do as well which means I am looking forward to things settling down so I can get on with more clips :)

Fix is in is sort of ready for final mixing but...single? Nah. Maybe. Nah.

Video? Sure.

We took 2 new songs into rehearsal this week, bodes well for them coming into the set but not sure about production timing.

Also just rebooked another inland mini tour in December. I love these things and hope to do more of them.

OH! I gotta make a call on a site redeployment. Our host just jacked their prices and nopey nope, so I gotta make a call on whether we transfer the whole blog ( 2008!!!!) or start afresh. Pondering my orb on that one.

Instrumental collection due out as soon as i get around to it. Next stack of songs pending Drumming/development.

All is as it pretty much normally is. If you're getting burn out from the constant AAAAAAhhh!! from the media, just hang out with us for a while.

Samples and development work can be experienced via becoming a Patron of the band here: patreon.com/Stormcellar375

Mixing session 12 july 24

Development update 090724

Just now

4 songs now in development and looking pretty good so far.

Did I mention how much Excel type spreadsheets are part of our daily lives? :p

I keep an online google sheet of our repertoire and development pool.

Anyway, we now need to put drums down. Haven't sent you two new guides yet, still working on lyrics.

Javier re-did the acoustic for Psy. Surf, drums needed.

Hawkie had a go at sax for fix is in but...i think imma just finish it with that I have

The Yearning has had first pass vocals, now needs rebuilding which will be drums/vox and gtr redo, also maybe some key changes maybe rearrangment dunno.

Heavens on my shoulder is waiting on lyrics

Robin trower thing - no lyrics, too nascent to share yet.

Liquidator remix in progress, maybe 1-3 version, maybe a STURMKELLER ep?

Stormcellar Instrumental collection basically rady as soon as I wanna do the work of exporting, uploading and arting.

Things are going pretty well under the circumstances, would be good to have a few more gigs to pay for some proper studio time :)

Greenhouse work and remixing in an otherwise quiet month

I got a bug to remix Liquidator. I've been live streaming some of my mixing sessions for the last while, Mac and X seem to get a kick out of it.

My mate Vertical wandered past and said it's a bit Bob Ross. It's kinda boring in some ways cos some of the mixing stuff is straight up work work but I get it.

Next crop of 4 songs are starting to bloom. When I'm done here imma sit and work on The Yearning.

Quiet month otherwise, but plenty to do if one is so inclined.

I'm keen to make a video for liquidator :) Might wind up using the image generator tho and doing it shotlist fashion cos it's a way of getting visuals done without all the expense of a film crew. One day. LOL.

I'm sharing all the development work on Patreon cos it's easier to manage access, also you can support us that way.

I got the all clear on releasing the Instrumental Collection so that's on for this month as well.

Forecast is probably a single or two, we'll see. Development work on Patreon, updates here ;P

Instrumental compilation gets the thumbs up from Theo

As I am doing the mixing/mastering it's important to get other input.

Theo's given it a tick for levels, order and song choices.

I'll send it out for further review from the other chaps, let a few days pass and then it's ok for release.

Nice.

So far we've released compilations of country/rock/blues so if I counted the compilations as albums we'd be now around 18 released albums...but two of those were ep's sooo....

I've been wanting to get this done for some time so it's a nice sense of satisfaction to see it completed.

As I share the mixes etc, I am glad to get your feedback as well :)

Meanwhile, we're reviewing the approach Javier took with Psych. Surf. and onto new stuff.

We have a few weeks of low gigging which is good also cos now the other chaps have got this rotten cold that's going around sydney.

Movement today and yesterday.

Hawkie is looking at Sax for the fix is in.

Javier is looking at acoustic guitar to rebuild psychedelic surfer from guide to recorded track. needs some additional arrangement.

Mr Wizard just laid down a new one we are calling 'robin trower' for the time being and today we're working on 'the yearning', a kind of Springsteen-y ballad.

This really is some greenhouse action, as each thing blossoms in it's own time. So far this year we have released 4 singles, this crop looks like another easy 4 over the next 6 weeks, so we are roughly on normal time frame for an album's worth.

I expect I'll be sending guide tracks in the next tidal cycle, you'll get'em when the lads get them, and you'll join us each step of the way as we make'em.
