Refractions Mastering is nearly complete. We just have to put a few finishing touches on the tracks (adding metadata, making sure tracks have the proper leading and trailing silence, etc.)
We're also putting some finishing touches on a (digital) companion booklet we'll be sending out to Refractions backers along with the music.
Oh, and I know that this "little" project has taken more than a year to complete. I didn't realize just how big it was until I saw the credits sheet. I mean, by big-budget Hollywood standards, it's not quite blockbuster size, but it's still pretty decent! I think I've counted over 80 people who've been involved!
Also, take a look at all these featured performers 😍!
REFRACTIONS Credits
Some great folks on there! Like:
Judy Kang (who has served as Celine Dion's resident cellist in Las Vegas)
Sandy Cameron (who has done some great work for Danny Elfman)
the Stroma FilmWorks orchestra in New Zealand (which is made up of people from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra - which recorded music for such films as Lord of the Rings), and many others!
OK, So When Will We Get It?!
Short answer is: Tuesday, if all works out! Long answer: We're waiting on a few assets to plug into the companion booklet before finalizing it, and those may come in after Tuesday, but they are promised by Monday. So, as long as those come in in time and we can get everything proofed, you'll have it on Tuesday!
Yay!
If you haven't pledged for your copy of Refractions - there's still time to grab it for $10 before it goes out next week. (It'll be a few dollars more once we put it up for sale in April or May.)
Tales of The Black Piper
We also have some good news on the Tales front!
Status
I'm not sure whether we've mentioned this, but most of Tales is through the proofing stage - just waiting on a few last things there, and we have begun the audiobook narration, with some directions from the authors. Additionally, we are currently working on the music, and we will have our full focus on composing once Refractions has been delivered.
So, another "yay!"
Exciting things are happening. We're excited, I'm excited. We hope you're excited!
As always, let us know if you have any comments or questions.
