1. Notes: 9 / 4 months ago 

   Mixing, falling, monster and other notes from the great white north…

   About  a week ago i ventured up to Vancouver to mix our album with Dave Ogilvie… who if you don’t recognize the name, mixed such bands as Marilyn Manson, NIN, Skinny Puppy, The Birthday Massacre, etc. We were mixing at the famous Mushroom Studios where Led Zeppelin and Heart among others had recorded … 

   

   Dave is an awesome guy… super talented at what he does. The days began at about 11am and went to 5am the next morning. It was a brutal schedule filled with a lot of Monster energy drinks to keep us all from falling over…. but in the end it turned out to be all that we could have asked for: each song sounding crisp and clear.. each instrument having their own place in the mix so you can hear everythig… it sounds epic.  

   

   In the few hours that i had to sleep and hang, in my overly romantic fashion,  i got close to a boy. I didn’t want it to happen. At all. But despite my kicking and screaming, i couldn’t fight my heart. Maybe it was all the beauty i saw in the lushness of vancouver, maybe it was the happiness i was getting from my music… or maybe it was his smile…. but i think i let myself fall a little for someone who wasn’t really ready to fall with me. Life is so strange… things that seem so perfect and right for both pple fall circumstance to wrong timing…. Maybe the future will lend itself to the right timing down the road….

   So i cried a little and let my heart ache a bit when i got home…. maybe it’s still aching a bit now. But for 5 days in vancouver I felt like everything in my life made sense and was beautiful…. or maybe it was just so beautiful  and everything made sense because he was there to share it all with me….

   All i know is that i came home with a record that sounds like i want it to sound: big and epic and almost ready for your ears to listen to in March…. i hope you all love it as much as i do.

   The mixing board tells no lies:

   

   Venturing in downtown Vancouver i saw myself in the window of the Rock shop. I’m global i suppose ;)
