Vespertine Movement is currently in the studio, working on a 8-10 song EP (extended playlist). We have been recording for a month or two now, and will continue for the next few months. We are hoping to release the EP, that is untitled right now, sometime in the summertime. We have been recording this EP at UMBC, and our friend Kyle Johnson has been the audio engineer who is both recording and mastering the tracks.
Recording is a very long process because you want the quality of the CD to be great, because that is what represents our original material and our band as a whole. Every band has a different approach to recording their material, and you can go in different orders, but the way our band has been doing it is based off examples of other bands and tends to be the traditional way to record. The recording process consists of recording the drums to a click track (this makes the drums on beat with the pace of the song, whether it be a slower or faster song). After getting a solid take of the drums, we have been recording the bass, rhythm and lead guitars, and then vocals. It could take several attempts for each instrument because you want it to sound perfect, because that is what will be on the final cut which will be on the EP. After the recordings are finished, the audio engineer then edits and makes all of the tracks sound to the best potential by adding effects.
We are very excited about this and are always learning new and interesting things in the studio about the recording processes. w]We are looking forward to getting our our first legitimate CD out to our family, friends, and fans.
