The Concept Album : Post #5

Much progress has happened since the last post about this awesome project.
Here are some of the major updates for it.

Update 1: The Name
I finally have a suitable name for the album, I had mentioned it in one of my last newsletters, but in case you don't get my newsletters (shame on you), I shall tell you.
I've decided to call the album "NOVELLA".
It makes sense, the meaning of "novella" is "a short long story, or a long short story". Which I think is perfect.

Update 2: The Songs
The number of songs in this album has gone "up", so now I'm shooting for eleven (11) tracks on this album, which I think is a good number, not too long, and not too short, just enough to tell the story.
One of the "songs" will actually be a poem written & read by my good & talented friend Aileen Sabira, & one song I'm co-writing with my partner in crime Shaffi, who will also be singing that entire song on the album.

Update 3: Production
Part 1/2
I'm very excited about this part, I will be working with a very imaginative local producer called Number S!x, he produced Shaffi's "Ticktock Islands" track on her latest album "Expectations", check it out and you'll know why I decided to work with him.

Part 2/2
I'm going to go super indie, so I bought a Zoom R24, that is a portable, digital, multi-track recorder. It also works as a controller, & an interface. I'm sure I'll have to go into the studio for some minor things, but I want a specific feel.
The album is about a journey, so there for I want to capture that, we will do some outside recording, next to streams, trees, & all kinds of goodies to help enhance the experience, which is why I got that little beast.

Update 4: Completion
I'm proud to say that I now only have 2 songs to write, and I would be DONE with that section, then it would be time for tweaking some of the songs, until they feel right.

***********

I think progress is being made in a major way, I'm happy at the pace things are going, and I only hope that the momentum keeps going. The sooner my writing is done, the sooner I can start crafting them into fully completed songs.
Wish me luck!

Much Love.
