Neutral Planet Records Encouraging our artists one nudge at a time.

16/01/2013

New Years resolutions. Panic. Despair... looking into the shame spiral and having it wink back. Eternal numbness. No one at NPR shared these epiphanies I had this year, or rather, if they did they wore a corduroy suit of neutrality and stared on unemotionally as I struggled with my own internal neutrality.

Everyone else at NPR decided they would focus on being everything they wanted to be, everything they already were, but weren't being. And so actions became born, and the shadows were alive with tinkerings and machines kerjiggering with momentum. Alternate tentacles grow forth, old twisted appendages evolve into something almost self sustaining.

I have updated the timeline cover, in a rich tapestry of musical imagery stolen from the internet. So that I too, may feel like a contributor, at least for now. Like a true neo-neutralite, weened on the teet of the grand internet expanse, I have cheated my shame spiral away temporarily. Also, I have made the general internet know there are happenings of powers too busy to be able to be bothered with such nonsense.

We jammed again! It wasn't solely the "No Name Band" per se, but more like an open ended kinda thing. Oh yeah, it was at a party to celebrate a certain founding member's super-mega-awesome birthday. I don't believe that is very neutral, and will likely be reprimanded with; cold "Red River" oatmeal and quiet disdain as is the NPR brand of justice. But it felt good to rebel...just this once.

The No Namers are restless. Ma n Pa Neutral talk in whispers about their own personal doings, and now individuals are talking about "wrapping it up" lyric-wise. And I say "Sure", because there is nothing more neutral than a complete lack of commitment or enthusiasm for the ones you love.

More to come.

New NPR Computer up and running. Hardware handicaps overcome! Although the no name band can now start applying oil to its rusty joints, I have the sneaky suspicion that Dan and Siri will be chipping away at other personal projects in the background. More to come!

Right! Updating the people that don't gather at NPR and jackhammer away at the horses**t, to try to get at any grain of truth left to mine. WELL, Mitch and HM have completed a song since I last posted, and they have started their second and last song together. Dan and Myself (PONY) have completed Flavour Boy and have taken a few running jabs at "Iggy Popcorn". Yesterday was a more fruitful endeavour, in that we didn't throw away everything, lyric-wise, when we were done.

SO! Iggy PopCorn on it's way, "Ubermod" or "Call of the Queen" as well/ Then there are 2 left Siri and HM with "Midnight Labyrinth" and Mitch and I on "Thermadore". The end is a long way off, but we can see the light at end of a s**t caked tunnel. And we ALL are eager to create and complete, release then release internally..... More to come.

So Dan and I have written a ROUGH version of "Flavour Boy". To be more accurate Dan brought the thunder on this song, I threw as much at it as I could but his input was far stronger. It helped he laid down a rough scratch track with a melody to sel it. Now we will avoid listening to it for a week or two and concentrate on "Iggy Popcorn". More to come!

Well, I've been informed under closer scrutiny, that song #9/10 won't need further retakes. So for NOW, I am done my parts for the album. I took yesterday off, but I will be hitting the decks and assisting Siri and Mitch next on their sonic excursions as of next Monday. Keys, guitars, lyrics n extra bits left till mix time!

WooHoo!

Song #10/10 done! ... well on MY guitar parts anyways. I have song #9 to revisit with retakes and then... I will push buttons and record other people! And the process speeds towards the end of the line Siri and Mitch coming up in November!

Then I will assume my place behind the decks recording Siri and Mitch, lyrics and vocals will probably be done or addressed more once these two have a good solid chance to sink their teeth into their parts.

Well we made through another summer. Took a bit of a break off of the album recording for a basement concert. And now everyone is so exhausted that we are in the middle of taking 2 weeks off. However in 1 week we will be getting back to it, I need to record my last song, and possibly check the 9th song to see if there are any revisions that need doing.

Right!

I forgot to post. I finished Guitar part #9/10. HOWEVER, I think I may have to redo it. We will see, this will be put onto inspection next week. However the last one might need some compositional changes so we'll record it as is, then screw with it and see if it sounds any better to the rest of the crew.... Final lap on rhythm tracks folks!

Just finished song 8/10 for guitar parts. 2 more left! Unfortunately I DID leave the 2 hardest ones for last. I might be getting 1 of them out of the way tomorrow, then the final one after that. There are some low murmured mutterings of an additional quick project that would be due at the end of summer.... I'll keep you posted.

Actually that's not true, Siri has done.... 4 songs I believe? I'm not sure if it's a mixture of guitar and keys or just guitar etc. the reason I say I 'guess' is that, it's been a long time comin, so I'm trying desperately to get my parts done, so others can get to their parts.

Been a bit since I posted. Yesterday I went in on a Tuesday and recorded song #6/10 "Call of the Queen". Mitchy Mitecherson comes into town soon, and I will see if there is any chance I can close the gap and get my parts out of the way.

Bass Done
Rhythm Guitars - 6/10
Keys, guitar, vocals next....

Recorded Dan's bass part for "Thermadore" today. Needless to say he knocked it outta the park, and I dealt with Pro-Tools for the first time in a looong while. Siri Honeyman and Mitchy dealt with lyrics upstairs.

Yay Productivity!

Privacy. Respect. Self-Control.

These are things that are being challenged at Neutral Planet Records. The recording process is a taxing mistress, but we have Siri done 2 parts, Pony done 3 parts, Dan done 7 parts, Honeyman done all 10 and Mitchy is done 1. If all goes well and I can be a greedy piggy, I will record a 4th part this Monday.

Keep ya posted

What do you think of the name "The Rusty Dullards" for a band name? Any better suggestions?

29/03/2011

PHEW! Had to re-record some guitar today and man oh man... the pain. I became a whiney lil baby and went home after it was done... hahahahaaaaa... I hate recording. But Gerry showed up to be my muse!
