Last night, we got a chance to hear some rough mixes of our studio sessions. Let me tell you, it's amazing what a little EQ and a smidge of reverb will do for a song. Child's Eyes is making me misty at the moment.
My respect for the musical ability of both Jason and Wytold has jumped up a notch - not to say that I doubted either of them, it's just that you hear your music so different in a professional recording. The precision with which they play their instruments is breathtaking, and they embellish the melodies in the most distinct and engaging way (IMHO ;0) And, for being sick half the time, and picky of my singing in general, I'm pretty happy with it!
The students in Riccardo's class have done an excellent job so far - one of the "satellite crew" teams seems to have added some delay on the Empty House vocals - super eerie - very nice! And Riccardo himself shows an expertise to his ear like none I've encountered. His knowledge of protools, the studio and each of our instruments helped to bring the most out of our humble demo.
With that said, we're about to hit the road, and we have stuff for people! We'll likely print out a limited-edition "2008 spring break tour" version of these tracks (perhaps with artwork by Chad Hammitt), as well as LE'08SBT Satin Pants, Hoodies, and a few fun and funky shirts. We'll bundle 'em up and you can take 'em home from any of our shows (or wherever you encounter us on the road).
Photos to come soon!
Peace,
EMay

Happy New Year ~ Zenith, Jamies, YIV & tour!
OK, So I know I'm about a week off, but one of my resolutions was to take it easy. Not that it's *been* easy, you know, it's just a lofty goal as most resolutions are...
My new year was rung in at Your Inner Vagabond, where Between Liberties was playing the midnight set. To make a long night into a short story, we set off the fire alarm with the smoke machines provided by Agnes Wired for Sound and spent the moments after the champagne-toast-pillow-fight trying to figure out how to work our new fire alarm. Neither the fire department, the Pittsburgh police force, our smoke detector company, our landlord nor our neighbors knew how to turn off the alarm. Hence, the ensuing tape-pillows-up-to-the-wall part of the evening. Once the noise was significantly reduced, we continued the festivities until the wee hours of the morning.
I do hope that's indicative of the rest of 2008, though I could do without the incessant beeping. Thanks to those of you who have made it out to the past few Between Liberties shows - you were some of the first witnesses to the library of new songs we are amassing. We look forward to serving you more music, over...
