1. Work continuing on the third CD by now that they're here, "Pacific Radio Fire". Kevin Brislin has started working with guitarist Glenn Banish, a local North Port, FL musician who Brislin has known for about a year. Banish added acoustic and electric guitar tracks to the title track for the CD. Banish is attending a local community college and studying to be a music journalist.
2. The working mix of Cor Mulhern's next meditation project, "Peace and Health" has been reviewed and requested changes are being implemented by Brislin at The Barn. It is unclear at this point how, when, and where it will be released.
3. A new collaboration between Kevin Brislin and his older brother Jay has been started. Jay Brislin plays electric guitar and both are co-writing songs for inclusion on a shared CD project. Since this is a long-distance recording effort (sending files over the Internet between The Barn in Florida and Jay's loft studio in Massachusetts), it will take time to iron out song issues and production schedules. In any event, both are having a good time with the project.
4. Straight A Productions of Florida has tentatively contracted to use Kevin Brislin to produce foley sound effects for one of their film productions. Brislin's extensive library of sound effects and ability to create custom sound design is a definite asset. More on this later as this develops.
The Barn has been updated further to incorporate a new Digidesign Digi003 Rack interface using the latest version of ProTools LE, a M-Audio Nova large condenser microphone, and a set of new plugins for ProTools. See the website for more details.
