…[headphones detached]…[controls down]…[power off].
done! what’s next? burn it on CD-R, send it in for some fine tuning & mastering.
well, there hadn’t been that much to do in the last weeks, but a lot of little fragmented works, details and stuff no one else will notice in the final product…
changing values of some single effects live, adjusting volumes, highs and lows… stuff like this…
we are very proud of and happy with the final results. let’s see what the mastering will even do more.
we gave you some information about the big theme of this album. just like our two albums on hands before this one is a conceptional thought thing again:
the single tracks are correlating and shall tell about different episodes who could reflect a night in an imaginary modern metropolis. each song builds up on a central idea which is meant to see that night from a different angle.
during the process of mixing the songs and filling them with samples and instruments we tried to project our own feelings and mental cinema in some sentences or keywords.
the song snippet we want to present you today is probably a very uncommon song when you hear it the first time, but we think it reflects and transports the diversity of the whole album very good. well, sampled brass instruments aren’t our normal kind of work – but well oiled crescent differs from the other tracks concerning the contents, too.
it’s not about the ugly face of urbanisation, it’s telling about the long and hard way home after hours of any kinds of alcohol.
just to come back to the song keywords we mentioned in the beginning, here’s what our mental cinema shows:
warm summer night – around four in the morning – just before sunrise – drunk and tired, but happy – unstable crescent – staggering – still in the bar in thoughts…
