Darkened Soul and WS keyboardist split CD project?

Oak Knoll · January 31st, 2006, 09:16 AM

Hehe .. I was talking with Wiley (is that his name) and it sounds like Mike S. and him have similiar projects.. who knows maybe it's worth us trying to put out some split cd with both your tracks on it? Could be a cool release...

I hope we can get Mike interested. I really enjoyed his album, and would be sincerely honored to do a split with him. Somebody give him a heads up for me, there are serious benefits for everyone on this venture.
Too many to list heh....

Haha, glad you liked it man! Yeah, we could probably do something this year. I don't know how much time I'll have to dedicate to it as I just started a new job and guitar lessons so time has gotten a bit limited but I can work on something off/on till I'm happy with it. Contact me at metalmike@comcast.net and we can go from there.

Mike

PS - it was cool meeting and playing with you guys last month man!

Works for me. I also have another guy I am probably going to collab with yet again. We (plus Stijn Van Cauter - Until Death Overtakes Me) collab'd awhile ago on the track Descent which is on my soundclick and artistserver pages. I worked up the track, sent it to Ashtorath and he sent it to Stijn who sent me the end result after his tweaks/additions. I'll talk to Jeremy on the side about that one as it starts to form.

I am definitely down for doing this split. In fact, I am in a similar position as far as my side project goes, but over the next few months I bet I could come up with about half a CD's worth of material, if not at least 22 minutes or there abouts. I think it would be awesome. I will have some new material out soon, so I can run that past you. In the mean time there are demos of my stuff up at www.myspace.com/fearsore
Talk to you soon man....

I'll swing by and give it some listening this morning. I have to start working on more new stuff as well. It doesn't take me that long to work out something if I find the samples that fit what may be in my head at the time I start working on a track. I definitely want to start doing other MIDI stuff with the EX61 as there's some combis/programs that I like and need to get some of it recorded at some point as well. No rush as we have time to get some stuff together.

Whoa there nelly! I haven't heard from him via myspace or e-mailing me that he's been working on stuff. I've been busy with new job and other shit which has precluded me from working on some material. I need to know how many tracks he's set for it and how long time-wise it is! I'd guess ~30 mins which works out fine. I have to get back to working on something for this and then get on with another project I am in the stages of trying to flesh out. I want to go in the Dargaard vein sans vocals and it's a bitch seeing I've never worked on doing percussion stuff! A LOT of influences (Dargaard, Arcana, Coph Nia, Sophia, etc..) so I may need to shelve that for a bit while I work on new stuff for our split! Tell him to email me at metalmike@comcast.net please Bill so I can find out where he's currently at with things!

I'd like to hear some samples so I know where I should start on mine!

Thanks!

Mike

Crap, I haven't heard from him in over a month I guess now (via Myspace) and he hasn't contacted me at my normal email addy! Get in touch man and point me to some samples so I know where I should come from for it!

Just an update from the Darkened Soul camp, I've got 2 tracks done totalling a bit over 10 mins (one 3+ and other 7+) so far. The latest one is titled "My Loss" and I recorded it the other day and did some mastering on it and added some spoken word to it used in the track. More to come, like another 20 mins from my end to give us about an hours worth of music between the 2 of us. I should get moving to work out the remaining time/tracks (2-3 probably depending on how it goes). Wiley is apparently working on some artwork which I have yet to see any glimpses of.

Hopefully you ambient folks will like it. Jeremy, I'll see about sending you my 2 tracks to get some feedback from you as to what you think of it. I am going along the lines of Wiley's idea for the concept. Think of a room full of people you knew over time sitting in chairs and them becoming vacant over time. Loss, death, lack of communication, etc....something along those lines.
