The production of "Real Virtuality"


June 1st and 2nd 1996 were a big day in the history of our band. Then, the long planned recordings for our CD finally took place. The location: Not a studio, but our band rehearsal room!

Thanks to modern technology, you can actually record CD-quality audio wherever you like. The recording was done by a good friend of ours, Klemens Trenkle, who by the way owns Basel's most creative music store, Music X-Dream.
We recorded eight tracks simultaneously onto a DARWIN hard disk recorder, not taking the usual studio approach, but everybody playing together until the mood captured on the disk is just right. This production method may not lead to over-precise productions, where every drum hit was thought over, but it captures some live feeling and allows us to interact with each other.

We decided to do all the financing and producing on our own, which invariably leads to the situation that you, the band, have to pay for everything, think of everything, carry everything, plug everything in and at the end of the day, you also get to play a little music ... But the atmosphere was congenial, especially with Klemens, our good friend and engineer, who couldn't lose his temper even when suddenly the headphone amp that had been working the day before, seemed to have died during the night. So, the recording went smoothly and in two days, we recorded these seven tracks.

At the moment, our CD is in the final stages of production.
A rough mix has been made and has already been premastered. Some tunes, however, need to be mixed again. As soon as this is done, we will have the CD mastered and printed.
Of course, all of this means a great financial stress for our band account. Therefore, we have though of something very special:

For a limited time, you can order our CD pre-release. With this, you support our band and the production of the CD. And this is interesting for you, too, because the pre-release price is cheaper than the usual CD retail price. If you are interested, here's how to do it ...
