well well what to talk about today
iv gained a lot of industry knowledge over the past couple of weeks, from recording an album to starting a publishing company.
last week we started recording the new eat dr. ape album Love and lust in wonderland at a top recording studio Lofi in glasgow. Lofi's previous artists include the ting tings, the strokes and twin atlantic. The experience iv gained from being in a professional studio i feel il be able to directly apply to my session playing. even though i was recording on bass i feel this will benefit and help me get "doubling" sessions.
We head back down to the studio tomorrow for another two days and the album will be finished tuesday.
We also have gig at The Admiral in glasgow which will increase my gig experience.
We turned down a record deal not that long ago due to the contract not being fair so that has helped me understand contracts a lot more and also led to us starting "EDA Publishing" our own label. starting this label has taught me a lot about the business side of music for PPL agreements to CD Pressing and album launches.
as for college i had a good graded unit lesson :) i managed to get the fake session job that i had to pretend to be interviewing for, so now i feel i could confidently sell my musical abilities to musicians looking for session players...... session skills was a wast of time with sound production students taking an hour and a half to set up a studio and leaving us with only 15mins recording time!!!!!!!
but yeh thats about it
see ya
