Music Video in Production

The music video for the song Belladonna on the upcoming release 294 Scott St. by The Brislin Bros. is in post-production editing. All principal video was shot using only an iPhone 4. As usual, I am using Final Cut Pro on a MacBook with an external monitor for my editing station. I am hoping to have the video completed in the next few weeks and will upload it on my Vimeo channel. I'll post the URL here when it is available.

The final mixes for all of the songs for 294 Scott St. are still being worked on. The first set, while OK, just weren't quite there. Since my mastering process requires listening in six different environments (the studio, my truck, my wife's van, the house, high-end headphones, and earbuds), it takes time to evaluate what works and what doesn't. They are getting there and that's all I can say.

Still in the songwriting phase for the next now that they're here release, tentatively titled like a lighthouse gone mad from loneliness. So far I have about 7 songs that I'm considering for inclusion. Tracking hasn't really started, but some of the songs are ones that I have worked on before for other projects, then shelved for one reason or another. This is the most tedious process of all. I'd rather be tracking and mixing.
