Bittersweet finish….

October 17th, 2011 No comments

Hey guys!

So that’s it! We are finished with all recordings after 3 months of fun, hard work, creativity and pain ;-) I have mixed feelings. On one hand it’s great to know that you gave your best and created something special, on the other hand it’s some kind of sad because recording means also a lot of fun. Now it’s time for Andy to mix and master the songs and I can’t wait to hear the result because I’m damn sure it will be an awesome-heavy sound!

But of course there are a lot more cool things to come, like our shooting next week. We are very excited to work with famous Alex Kuehr again – you can be too ;-) We also want to start the “gig-machinery” so I hope we will be able to play a lot of shows and festivals next year – maybe even in other countries, but at the moment that’s just a dream =)

 

As you can see, there is a lot going on in the VoD-camp and we will keep you updated!

 

Cheers

 

Chris

We are back!

September 5th, 2011 No comments

Hey everybody!

We’ve got some good news for you: three more songs are almost completed! Two songs composed by Chris were already done at the weekend and Lukas, Jens and me were at the Red Room today to add the female lines to another one. I think it will be one of my favorite songs on the new album,  I really enjoy singing it! There are just a few songs left to be done but we surely show you some more impressions from the vocal sessions during the next week!

Be curious about it!

Best regards

Maike

Just one more minute

Yesterday Chris and me finished the male choir.
It’s a shame we didn’t film me while conducting the two singers :) . They will confirm that I’m one of the best conductors who does his job by swirling his hands around without any system. Haha!

Enjoy your holidays!

Hey guys!
Unfortunately yesterday was the last day of the vocal recordings for now. Nearly everyone is going on holidays for at least 2 weeks and I have to work for university. 4 songs are done so far and they sound great! It was a very funny and productive week and the boys of our male choir joint us to finish it with a tasty barbecue last night. Thanks for all the support till now!

Keep on rocking!

Red Room Day #3

August 10th, 2011 No comments

Yep yep, we totally nailed it today! All vocal lines for the opener of our upcoming album were recorded at Andy’s studio and it sounds awesome!

So the score for completed songs says ‘Maike 3 : 2 Lukas’ and we will head back to the Red Room for more vocal sessions on friday.
It’s not like we were only getting a day off to let our voices rest a little. Tomorrow, the guys forming our male choir will enter the Krabbesackduschder Studios to finally record what we were trying out last week.
And there is also more keyboards to be done.

Go go go! :)

First vocal session

August 7th, 2011 No comments

Hello everybody!
Yesterday we recorded the first song at the Red Room Studios and I can say: it was great fun and we have a mind-blowing result! Andy once again supported us with nice ideas for the backing vocals. I’m so excited to continue!

Have a nice day!

Balls to the walls

Hey guys!

 

Today we are going to finish the fifth song in terms of orchestra and keyboards! After that we continue straight with another song of course.

I can’t wait to head for Andy’s Red Room and record some nice vocal lines! Even the makeshift vocals we recorded here without paying attention to the right mic position etc. sound fricking good. So I’m quite sure it will blow you away. Maike’s voice just sounds better than ever!

 

I also can reveal a little secret: We are also planning to shoot a video! Of course we team up again with mastermind Michael Colella.

Right now we are just in the drafting stage but if everything works out well, I’m quite optimistic that we will be able to shoot a video!

 

But first of all let’s start the day with a nice breaktfast =)

Have a nice day everyone!

Testing day

So, 5 songs are pretty much done with all the keyboard and orchestra stuff. Sounds heavy and we can’t wait to go on and finish the rest.
However, today we gonna check out some additional vocals and see if we can create our own little choir. Therefore some friends will hit the studio (acutally in about 15 minutes :S).
Let’s see how this works out! Would be great to have some more people participating in this project! \m/

Talking about vocals: this saturday will be the first day of Maike’s recordings!! Stay tuned for upcoming news and videos! =)

That’s our “you can always eat” meal when there’s no motiviation to cook something bigger. Yesterday Lukas an me made about 600g noodles, 4 eggs and 6 slices of ham just for me and him. Is that too much =)?

Oh, now I see that this is the most senseless post in this blog so far. Is it?

Aaaaand we got some video footage waiting to be edited and uploaded. Maybe we will find the time to do so tonight.

More to come! We just got started. :)
