In November we received a new track from Steaming Mulch. During that recording they said that they are working on new tracks for 2021. It had been quite a while since their last recording. Since many of their recordings were from a few years back, we felt that our current blog viewers might not be familiar with their older work. So we decided to remaster and post their older tracks. When you remaster a song, you go back to the previously finished song mixdown and tweak it using EQ, compression, limiting and other tools. One reason is to make the final product fuller and more in line with other tunes on an EP or album (we’ll probably do a full mastering post in the future). For a single song this may come down to compressing and increasing volume so it sounds fuller on internet or radio formats. Since we had mastered the song at ChurchHouse originally, we made some minor changes just for fun. We’re starting with ‘Escape From Mordor’. This was a shorter track, but like their last track it contains some fun movie dialogue along with the music. As before, I won’t give away the movie sources so you can catch them for the first time while listening.
The end of the year is considered ‘the holiday season’. Honestly, hard to find much ‘spirit’ with all that is going on this year. So I thought I’d share something I watch on the internet when I’m down that makes me smile. It’s not musical. It’s from an animal rescue operation that saves foxes and other animals (check them out at saveafox.org). I just can’t stay down when I watch Finnegan and the other foxes laughing and romping around. People who do animal rescue totally rock! Happy Holidays!
