A lot of news...

Hi, everyone!

Sorry I've been away, but there has been a lot to deal with in the past couple of weeks. So I'll divide into several posts...first, the studio saga!!

In the last 3 weeks, we lost our date at Avatar, then lost Avatar all together, got a date at Legacy Studios, lost that date as well, then lost our engineer, Fernando Lodeiro, were a whole week without a studio and without an engineer...and finally got another date back at Avatar, with Fernando at the wheel! So, to sum it all up, we are back at Avatar Studios, on April 18th, one week after the original planed date.

The whole thing happened because a very big and popular band, which we are not allowed to name, booked the whole studio on the week we wanted it. But it turned out they are nice guys and let us have Studio C on that Saturday, which ended up being better then Studio B and also better than the room at Legacy we were going to get.

We just went to visit the studio again this weekend, this time with the whole team: me, Chris, Jon, Fernando and a new addition to the team, Juan, our Director of Photography. We discussed the need of lighting and other equipment, and started to plan out how everything is going to be positioned in the room, in order to have the best mix between sound quality and a video-friendly environment, without interfering to much on the vibe of our jams. It went pretty well, and everyone was pleased.

Now, the next time we are in New York will be to record!!

Peace!

Spring Break!!

Hey, everyone!

First of all, let me congratulate our dear Amy Mantis, the winner of the competition! As promised, she will be getting her own free and signed copies of both the CD and DVD of Project K-Paz once they are released! Also, Lucas, the second to answer, will get a free copy of the CD! Thanks to both for reading and for making the comments! Keep it up!

Now, the news!

Last week, we had Jon Hsu come and make videos of our jams here at Berklee! It's me on guitar and Pablo on Drums. Laurent is still in France, so we had a Matias Alvear, a friend, play the bass. Josh was recording in Pittsburg, so he couldn't make it either. Here is a little piece of the jam, fresh for the BLOG readers:

MOCKUP JAM SESSION!

Let us know what you think of the footage, it is just a mockup, but a little taste of what's to come!

Now, this following week is our Spring Break, so we are out of town for a while, but the project is still moving. We have made progress in the DVD front after some great meetings with Jon while he was in Boston, and we're also just waiting to hear from Avatar to confirm our session booking.  But don't worry, we'll keep you posted.

Rock on!
