You might be wondering why Song3 is called Song3 instead of Song8..after all, it is the eigth song on the album. This is because the origin of Song3 is a group of three songs that I wrote for what was going to be a band with a few friends. The band died out, but I ended up liking Song3. By that point, it was pretty much how I knew the track, so I thought there was no point in renaming it. And that is how Song3 got its name.

That’s all for now. Hope to post another track later this month!

The post Song3 Posted To SoundCloud appeared first on A Rising Force.

These are the four tracks that we referenced in the previous post – Tour, Bright Eyed, Anyway… and Pickmeup; they were all mixed at the end of last year. While Tour, Bright-Eyed, and Pickmeup are mostly cleaned up and polished versions of the existing songs, Anyway… has evolved quite a bit since the last time I shared it. There is now a viola/violin string section that comes in about a minute into the song and adds a lot more depth. Please let us know how you like the new version in comments on SoundCloud!

While only a little less than half the tracks have been posted, the album is now more than halfway finished being mixed and more tracks will be posted in the coming weeks. The total number of complete tracks for the album is now up to five of thirteen. The next tracks that will be posted are Song3 and For All The Days My Muse Called In Sick. Both tracks have final recordings and just need to be mixed and mastered.

There was a slight delay in the mastering process for Opener due to some poor instruction following, but the track is finally in progress and should be completed sometime next week.  Once the band signs off on the final approval, the track will be submitted to iTunes, ideally in time for an early September release.  When there is a more concrete date for the release, it will be posted here.

In choosing the best way to share the music, I researched a couple different options: SoundCloud and Mixcloud.  I decided to go with SoundCloud because it had upfront pricing and gave me a free plan to build off.  It also had a great plugin for WordPress that let me integrate it very easily into the existing pages on the site.

Now that I’ve picked a platform for sharing my music, I can start updating the recording history section on the production notes pages that are already online (Opener, Tour, Bright Eyed, Anyway, Pickmeup).  I also plan on posting a track review video where I discuss the songwriting and recording process for each song on the album Make Music.
