hello maucis, how ya doing? ...
Mau dice:
Hello again, Mr. Reporterman.
I'm doing mighty fine, thank you.
How about you?
Anomalia .- dice:
im really good,,,,better than james brown, im here because...we have some great fucking news right????
Mau dice:
Fuck yeah we do.
Acropolis is recorded!
Anomalia .- dice:
you´re kidding....
Mau dice:
I kid you not.
We finally concluded the recording sessions and all the tracks are ready.
Anomalia .- dice:
OH MY GOD!!!! you mean, the songs are complete???
Mau dice:
I did't say that.
I meant that every voice has been recorded.
Anomalia .- dice:
aha.....I understand, there´s no missing character
Mau dice:
Now comes the mixing and then the mastering, and only then the songs will be completed.
Yes, that is correct. Every artist has done their part.
Anomalia .- dice:
But you have all the voices to do your little things....
finally!
Mau dice:
Exactly.
Hard part is over.
Now begins impossible part xD
Anomalia .- dice:
oh damn! xD
well, you were the last one recording your vocal tracks, am I right?
Mau dice:
You are right, yes. I was the last to enter the recording booth.
Anomalia .- dice:
and,,,tell us your experience
Mau dice:
Well, due to the extensive throat issues I have, it was no easy task. I couldn't record every song in one day, so I had to pace myself and spread out the recording sessions among several days.
I also had to stop eveytime I felt I was straining my vocal cords too much.
Some songs actually demanded some very heavy gutural growling, and those were the most eroding ones.
Anomalia .- dice:
in your "special" song?
Mau dice:
But with some tea and propoleum+oney candies, all went well.
Anomalia .- dice:
did your hear the songs after your recordings?
Mau dice:
I don't think I have the... mmmm... freedom... (*looks around in fear of Charly Sannat jumping out of nowhere like a ninja to silence him with some over-elaborated and deadly ninja device*)... to, you know... corroborate any speculations about the tunes...errr... however... I can say that, yes, in the pieces I have more protagonism there was some of that thrashy singing involved, yeah.
Yes, when I finished recording I took a little peek at how the tracks looked like in this preliminary stage but now with every voice recorded. It was.... for lack of a better word, intense.
Anomalia .- dice:
hahaha! intense? what´s that supose to mean buddy......
TELL US. THE PEOPLE WANTS TO KNOW!
Mau dice:
Well, during my listening I felt quite emotional, it was really, really exciting!
I was singing along all alone in the studio and puting my hands in the air like an annoying fangirl at a boyband concert.
Anomalia .- dice:
HAHAHA TAT´S GREAT TO HEAR! people think you are,,,,mmmm,,, cold???---do you have favourites? like "MAN THIS IS GOING TO BE A HIT"
Mau dice:
People can suck a cock. Oh! Look at that! What'd you know? I have one right here!
Anomalia .- dice:
JAJAJAJA the little chosen one xD
answer the other question please...
Mau dice:
Well, there are some very touching and moving heartfelt songs, like the ballad "For You" and the soft-rocky "Who Has Seen" that I think will have a major fanfavourite feedback.
Anomalia .- dice:
In fade to black's words-.--its the more "radio-friendly" song on the cd right?
Mau dice:
And then there a few KickAssChorus ones that I'm sure will drill into people's heads for years to come, such as "Heaven Underground" and "World In Ashes"
Anomalia .- dice:
we have one power metal song with michael kiske tto right?
too*
Mau dice:
That would definitely be "Who Has Seen", yes. In fact, now that I think about it, it DOES sound suspiciously familiar to certain could-be-dying-artist's song I heard somewhere....
Oh yes! That one came through much better than I expected, I confess. It's called "Eternal Dreams" and it totally rocks.
Anomalia .- dice:
yes,,,Fade to Black in a smoke granade he droped since the begining of the recordings said that the cd has a lot of diverse influences, from metallica, to soda stereo
he was right then
Mau dice:
Yes, we even unveiled some very obscure homages during the recording session with Michael Kiske about this one chorus that sound oh-so-very-similar to a particular song concerning a heart and some eagle or somesuch. I thinkg Fade toblabla and Mr. Robinson did an amazing job with the instrument tracks indeed.
Anomalia .- dice:
Fade did nothing in that particular song....Mr Robinson did all the work, and gaeruki those lyrics,,,its one of the songs we want to hear!
Mau dice:
Oh yeah... Mr. G.... Don't even get started on him...
*me
Anomalia .- dice:
hahaha why? is there some problem with him? or something you want to say?
xD
Mau dice:
What? Problem? Me? No! What? Come on! Of course there's no problem with him, no way man! He's my buddy, man. My duuuuuuuude, we are best buds!
Anomalia .- dice:
oh! because we have some info that he has some weird-shit and strange methods to recording his vocal parts
Mau dice:
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell... You know... I don't like to talk crap about anyone, you know. My mother thaught me that I didn't have anything nice to said about someone, it was always best to say nothing at all.
But yeah, dude, what the fuck was that shit all about? He totally flipped during recording and insisted on recording without listening to the track nor even his monitor. I was flabbergasted! But you know, artists are excentric and it is part of the engineer's job to put up with their crazy shit, so we went ahead and did it his way anyway.
The results were positive, though, so no harm done (... crazy deluded fucker ¬¬)
Anomalia .- dice:
hahaha
we have the feeling, that they all have different personalities
like the characters they try to portrait
Mau dice:
Hell yes, they do.
It was a really interesting experience recording them, and myself also.
Anomalia .- dice:
well....now begins your "exclusive" part of the job
Mau dice:
... finally...
I mean! Yes, it is a shame that I have to do all this work alone, but It's part of the deal, you know.
Anomalia .- dice:
well, we hope to have this cd hanged in the stores shelves, and in this fucking blog too...hope you have tha patience and strength to make it,,,good luck pal...
Mau dice:
Thank you very much, I hope so too,
Otherwise, Mexico, here I come!
Anomalia .- dice:
HAHAHAHA
you´ll have to run to the hills man
....run for your life xD
Mau dice:
Yeah! Hahahahaha!
