Project Update: REFRACTIONS: Off to Mastering

Hi everyone,

REFRACTIONS NEWS

Guess what??? FINALLY after more than a year of preparation, Refractions is now off to the mastering engineer! Oh my, we are SO STOKED!

What a year+ of effort looks like in spreadsheet form


The attentive reader will notice that there are some blank checkmarks above. That's because the mastering engineer will also be mixing those tracks.

You'll also notice that there are 25 total tracks. Yeah, we kind of snuck a few in there we didn't originally plan on. Sorry about that....


Timeline


The mastering engineer will be looking things over today and giving me an estimate on timeline, but it really isn't that much farther to go!! I might guess 2 weeks, but he does work fast. We'll let you know, though.


Notes


Whew - I just have to say - this album has taken so much more effort than we thought it would. A lot of sleep sacrificed, but, you know, I think it's so worth it in the end for the art. (We hope you'll agree once we get this thing into your hands!)

Now, just have to settle on a cover...


Streaming


One note about streaming: once the music and cover are done, we'll send the tracks out to all those who paid for Refractions (which you'll recall was an add-on to the campaign.) We are looking to put the album up on streaming platforms and put it up for sale, but that might not happen for a few months. So, those who helped fund this album will get to enjoy it for a few months before the public release.

We hope you'll all be ready to help us hype it when it drops!!


Ramping Up On the Next Thing

#excited!

With all of that completed, we can now focus our attentions on our next project, Tales of The Black Piper, while we await the mastering engineer. Tales, for those who haven't been following that news, is essentially complete, with regards to the stories. We'll be heading into writing music for it full-steam!


Well, that's it for now. We'll keep you updated with more soon!

All the best,
Michael & The Team @ The Black Piper
