I did a lot of mixing today, and I think the second song is almost finally ready to go. The third song is actually, still, a lot closer. I think all of that like, "YEAH. This song is COMING" is old news though, but I did want to tell you about the ultimate plan for the album release. The 5 tracks that you can see on bandcamp will be filled up in addition to **drum roll** 6 additional tracks! Those tracks have nothing to do with the story, but they're just going to be in there for transition sake. I've created a fake radio show for all of that. Here is the transcript to one of the commercials:
Julio
Ramon Ricardo Banderas: Why hello there. My name is Julio Ramon Ricardo
Banderas. I’m here to tell you about my new cologne, Red Dragon Tropical
Chocolate Sunset Breeze. It’s the kind of scent that makes the ladies go,
“AHHHHHHHHH”. That’s right, “AHHHHHHHHH”. It’s been made with science, and
approved by doctors at Mancense Manly Man Cologne For Manly Men Incorporated.
For serious. Like, just imagine this. Your hair is flowing in a cool, crisp
breeze as you gallivant across a halcyon prairie, on the back of a majestic dragon.
You come across an emerald valley, beset against a tropical sunset, and see a
herd of llamas cavort alongside the river below. You close your eyes. You open
your eyes. Behold, the band Journey is descending from the heavens, playing,
“Don’t stop beliiievin! Hold onto that feeeeelin!”. And what is that feeling ?
It’s the exact feeling infused in Red Dragon Tropical Chocolate Sunset Breeze.
This cologne will make you feel that way all day. So if you want to make the
ladies go, “AHHHHHHHH”, then you need this cologne. Call 1-800-MANCENSE. That’s
spelt MANCENSE. 1-800-MANCENSE. Do it right now, and I’ll throw in this free
banana, and a picture of a famous Nigerian soccer player.
And if you thought that was great, I have something INFINITELY MORE EXCITING PLANNED! There's a...**bigger drum roll**...duet between two pianos! *wopwopWAHHH*. What do you mean anti-climactic? Piano duets are the new black, shut your face and go eat some pie. And by eat, I mean inhale, cause I just told you to shut your face. The piano duet is spread between the 5-6 albums, and if you collect all 5-6, you can actually hear the whole thing in its entirety. I like the idea of making everything coherent, even if coherent turns into the albums actually bleeding into each other. The idea is that you could hypothetically just play from album to album and not even notice that you are listening to something else.
Also! If anyone (In Woodland Park) is interested, I also will probably need voice actors for the radio show. Male voice actors, female voice actors, android voice actors, mute voice actors. Wait that was ridiculous. Why would I use an android for a voice actor? It's going to be a whole lot of fun. Without the radio show, there is already a whole lot of dancing and partying while these are being recorded. If we throw in quasi-improvised comedy, imagine how crazy fun that will be. If you don't want to act ridiculous, but you're kinda like, "Oh, hey, I wanna contribute.", I am still wanting to feature someone in every single song to come. I will accept anything from bassoons to banjos, from violins to voices, from congas to jews harps.
