Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I wrote for this blog. Let's catch up, shall we?
Right now, I am working on the final mixes for "294 Scott St.", which will be the first release from The Brislin Bros., which just happens to be a collaboration between myself and my guitarist brother Jay. We have been sending each other music files for almost two years over the Internet since he lives in Massachusetts and I live in Florida. At this point, there are nine songs and it will be released electronically (no CD's...sorry.) The mixes are coming along really well. I just had bassist David Alvarez of The Boogeymen come over to work on one track. All in all, it is going well and I expect to have the mixes completed by August.
We are also in pre-production for a planned video for one of the songs from the above-mentioned project. Right now, we are looking at doing a stop-motion video with cutout characters. Hence the "planned" part of this. If it looks like we will be in production for 6 months or more, then forget it. But if we can pull this off in two to three months, then I'd like to continue. We should start production in a few weeks, but right now we are still planning.
I've also started pulling together the music for the fourth release for now that they're here. If you thought Pacific Radio Fire was eclectic, just wait until you hear the music for the new release. Right now, it's all just random tracks that are half put together. I had a slew of tech issues in The Barn that are now all settled. Added some new equipment and am about to sell a lot of my older stuff that needs to be culled out.
On a final note, the Lighthouse Trike Tour documentary is on permanent hiatus. The Kickstarter campaign did not pan out, so that was twice in one year that I tried to get that particular project rolling. I have no plans at this time to continue trying to do this and, it seems, I have no Plan C. So until I get some brainstorm on how to do this in a reasonable fashion, I'm holding off.
