Here we are, a week out from releasing the first Rhythm & Waves album! So far so good and all systems go. I repeat, we have a GO for liftoff! (I’ve always wanted to be an astronaut, I really just play music for the money…) 
Just kidding. Since I last posted we have sent in the master cd and finalized the album artwork thanks to the good Lord, caffeine, and some very late nights working with Jessica long distance over Skype. If you haven’t tried working on something very important with your significant other while you are thousands of miles apart, you should try it. Very humbling, hard, and eye opening. But through our amazing teamwork the art is B A Youtiful. I can’t wait for you guys to see it!
Oh and the music sounds pretty good too. =) I found out you have to work your okole off to get an album ready for duplication. Especially when you are working with an insane deadline! I know I’m still a babe in the woods when it comes to production but wow, kudos to every recording engineer, mastering dude, and coffee carrying intern out there. Here are some cool pictures of final production stuff.
Getting all my t's crossed and i's dotted.
Listening for small things that make big trouble.
Notes from an artwork brainstorming session with Jessica.
It’s always fun to look at the mess you’ve made when you finish something. My mess is usually in the form of piles and piles of notes!
Ok, the release date is still set for March 1st so keep checking back here for information on how to get a copy of the album.
