It is said that the Buddha at his height of asceticism would eat one grain of rice and drink his urine, sleeping on a bed of nails in the sweltering tropics. Complaining about a broken A/C in 2018 seems a little pointless now. With only three days... (Read More)

More status updates. While there is a failure in the guitar recordings thus far, it's something minimal and easy to fix. In the meantime, a sort of list, if you will: Song 1. (not worked on. Full time remaining) Song 2. (Lyrics, Vox, Synths, Bass,... (Read More)

Song 3#, Days 1-6, Moving into Song #4

August 20th - via: kickstarter.com
Those days were pretty easy. Moving into song #4 is not. Song #3, #5, and #7 are technically 1 song divided, which means as long as the lyrics are finished the song may as well be too. There was a lot of heartbreak and tears in some of the mixing of... (Read More)

P E R C U S S I O N  Well, I did 9 minutes of drums and programming. 9 minutes in song world, an entire half day for the trial and error. The most interesting part about working on this album is some of the rules I have and working around them. For... (Read More)

Song #2, Day III

"Heyyyyyy~ Castle" Our progress is going fast and powerfully. We've come up with several great ideas to add into the album to create more themes and lore that people can get excited about. I don't want to reveal to much about those just yet. Vocal... (Read More)

Deadlines

August 6th - via: kickstarter.com
As a consumer, all this means for you is you have a date to complain if the product isn't released. I feel the same way about Castlevania season 2. So we have about 66 days before my personal deadline for the album. We have 10 songs to get through.... (Read More)

Heading into Week II
