I have decided on the title for the third album:
Garden Of Eden
The title reflects the
fact that the main character is trying to turn the world in a save and better
place. Creating some sort of a Paradise for the human race. Which in the end
doesn't work out.
The rest is not really big news, just to let you know the album is still under
construction.
Next up on the recording schema are Linde Faber on Cello (within a couple of
weeks), Martijn Bos on Grand Piano (to be planned), and Gerton Leijdekker is
currently busy in his own studio recording the guitar tracks for the album. I
expect the first trackswithin in next couple of weeks.

I just got my new tube microphone back from Rob 'Machinator'
Spigt, and again he surpassed my expectations with his modifications. The improvements are enormous!

such a microphone I can recommend these mods!

I have all my equipment back was able to do some A/B comparisons with older

TL-Audio from the first Ivory series or a M-Audio Delta 1010, you now know who
to contact!.

And sometimes you have to take a small step back in order to take a giant leap
forward. And that is the case here: I'll have to re-record the Bass guitar and
some of the guitar tracks. Check out the 'Recording The
Third album' page to see why Rob 'Machinator'
Spigt is the reason for this...
