Darkflight/Ars Moriendi split

[Oak Knoll]

This is to start off the talks about the Darkflight split on Oak Knoll/Foreshadow Productions. So far we have Quercus in mind for the split. Ivo (DF) has the music to Aruzz(FS Prod) for mastering. Quercus is sending music to Aruzz. Who will be doing the layout and artwork? We are looking for a early release in 2006, right?

Aruzz, Ivo what timeline should we give Quercus to get their songs to us for approval? I think Ivo has a release date in mind we should try to meet. How about Dec 15, 2005?

earlier release for jan/feb 2006 sounds great to me... i hope the other guys will manage to finish their songs until 15th of december...
as for the artwork i'll try to find something, but it won't be easy!

I have artists I can invite here.. but it's up to you guys.. unless Ivo wants to do it all? artwork & layout or we can reommend people by mentioning it here.

if you have someone in mind don't hesitate to invite him here or if possible give me a link with stuff that i could check out?
i know that this will be difficult, i spoke sometime ago with aruzz and he told me that maybe is better to have only one artwork for both bands and also it must be approved by both sides... he also mentioned of doing something...
dunno, what do you think - 1 art for both bands or 2 separate? what will be the booklet parameters?

[Oak Knoll]

if both bands agree I think one artist would make it easier. I'm sure we can all decide on something all together (consensus). booklet parameters - I'd recommend a booklet with 2 pages - 4 panels. color on the outside , b&w inside.. 1 sided insert with color back. small # color cd face. If you need more space we can adjust and add a page.

ok, i think that's perfect for a split release... what about the release time frame, did you speak with aruzz? he told me earlier months 2006 is impossible for him...

If Ivo isn't happy with a release date in April should we be looking at other bands? Will this collaboration with Aruzz work for this split? I know I have 2 releases potentially in Jan/Feb but having someone split half the costs makes is easy for me to make it happen. Aruzz, what are your constraints? time? money? bands? Thanks for filling us in.

the change of plans is already a fact, as it's confirmed now, the second band for that split is the french ARS MORIENDI and as far as the co-release collaboration goes the other label funding it is DEADSUN RECORDS...
it's too bad that we couldn't do it with Foreshadow at this time, but still we have that wonderfull tribute cd coming and who knows in future we could do something else ...
Jeremy you told me to keep you in track of things here, i just got email from my suiss friend Manuel Kempter, he says "Would love to participate in the mastering process of your tunes!" we'll have to organize one more MSN group chat to specify some more details...

I think Ivo can post a link to them and maybe we can get Bastien in here as well
