Dilated Pupils
Happy Monday to you, and Happy Halloween. Yeah, i know, for most people Monday probably really sucks. Start of a long work week, end of a relaxing weekend. Well, Monday for me typically means just another day of work. I cant remember the last time i had a whole weekend off, and its rare that i even get one weekend day off. Most often its seven days a week, around 49 to 50 weeks a year. Hey, these records dont make themselves ya know. I can't complain too much though, I guess i'd much rather be way too busy than way too slow. Although this has been busy to the extreme for an extremely long time. Good thing i love making records.
So, I've been burning the candle at both ends lately working on this project with Capitol recording artists "Dilated Peoples". If you love hip hop, you definitely know them. Super talented, super cool to work with, super long hours. Fortunately, the songs are great so the time just melts away. I'm creating a whole bunch of music for them for a couple songs on their new record due out early next year, in fact tonight, i'm recording an opera singer on one of their songs. Same girl i used for E-dro's album, but a much different part. I think i'm also going to write an article in Scratch Magazine about my work on the album. Stay tuned. We're hoping to time out the Scratch article with the album release. That would be really cool. Often when i write, i make references to fairly current events, but then the article doesnt come out for 3 months and the references dont seem so relevant anymore. If this times out well, it'll be perfect.
Anyway, E-dro's album is going incredibly well. They all flew out to London on Friday after 2 good weeks of work at my studio, but we've got a ways to go on the album still. It's coming together better than anyone could have ever expected, but I know we'll still make it even better. Some songs are finished and ready to mix, most are very close, some are still works in progress with a big question mark over them. We now have far more songs that we all love than we have places on the album for them, so we're looking at maybe posting some of them as internet only songs, or possibly doing a separate mixtape EP to package along with the first 20,000 sold or something like that. We'll see. I've gotta post one of E-dro's songs on my site soon, I gotta get something out for anyone who cares to listen. I'm really proud of this album.
Well, I gotta get back to Dilating my pupils, lots of work to do today.
