Sex, Sleep, Eat, Drink, Dream...

Hi!

It has been a while since the last blog. That doesn’t mean we’ve been slacking around. Not at all! We made a lot of progress and today I can finally say we have finished all the music of the new album!

I’m very happy with all of the songs we’ve written in the past few months. I’m especially pleased with the way Dream worked out. I was afraid Dream was going to sound quite sad and miserable, leaving behind our listeners all depressed. As if that’s what dream is about! Fortunately we succeeded to transform it into a hopeful song.

Right now we’re going through the stage of rehearsing and (finally) recording the music with our drummer Mathijs Tieken. Currently we’re still looking for a studio, but the recording sessions should take place in the first days of the new year.

Looking forward to all the wonderful blogs dedicated to that :P

Ps. Here’s a piece from our new song Sleep, in a still unrecorded version.

Drink and Dream

Buenos tardes!


Yesterday Cesar and I were at a party of archeology students ('Archeology rocks; dust off those bones & come shake 'm!') and we watched a one-man-performance of Freek van Emaus.
You may know Freek from the presentation of Defined Skies at Meander, where he played bass.


While listening to him and other artists, we got the idea to dress up and dance like Indians at a future Circus Paranoia stage performance. But keep it secret!


Cesar started writing Dream and it's six minutes already. Dream moved me because of its compelling chords, melodies and lyrics. It's a real tearjerker!


In the meantime I've been working on Drink. The development of Drink is very chaotic, but perhaps that's in line with the subject of the song.


I think it won't be long before those two songs are ready for recording!
