Time for an update on the progress made on our soon to be released CD! We started recording back in late July, and we’re at the point of doing the final mixes and mastering now. Here’s a shot of Dan cutting some vocals in our music room. Our wonderful friend and producer, Robert “Blind Dog” Cook, brought his studio to us and we worked over several days to get the basic tracks down. He has since been busy producing away and using his many talents to add tracks to what we started with – bringing us to jokingly refer to this as our “Pet Sounds” project. (“I want an army of didgeridoos, fifty thousand didgeridoos!”)
Getting back to our CD, we are still accepting pre-orders, right up until the day of the CD release party. We have decided to offer a bonus track to everyone who pre-orders the new album. The bonus track is called “I’m Telling You Now”, written by Amelia. We’d cut a quick recording of it for a video project that was supposed to happen – but alas, the project was scrapped. We already had a full count of songs for the new album, so rather than recut the song or completely set it aside, we are sending it out to our pre-order supporters.
Here are the details about pre-ordering: $10 buys the digital download as soon as the project is finished, along with an immediate download of the bonus track. (so we’ll need your email address) $20 buys the digital download as soon as it’s finished, the physical CD as soon as we can get it out to you, and the immediate download of the bonus track. There are several ways to pre-order the CD. You can come to one of our shows and reserve your CD with cash, a check made out to Airheart or a credit card. You can also mail a check to Airheart @ P.O. Box 8234, Bossier City, LA 71113-8234. If a physical address sounds better than a P.O. Box to you, you can mail a check to Airheart @ 8851 Erickson Lane, Haughton, LA 71037.
The next way is to order via our paypal account. If you don’t already use paypal. you can open a free account, and send money to us @ airheartstudios@gmail.com, along with a note with your email address for the bonus track and what you are ordering.
We also accept any and all credit cards. If you wish to use a credit card, you can meet up with us in person, or you can call us with the credit card information. Our phone number can be found under “contact” on this site.
If you have any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to email us or call us. We love to hear from you!
We had a great time with Jenn Brooke Photography for our photo shoot for the new CD. Jenn made us feel quite comfortable and we are so pleased with her work.
So…yes, we are in the final mixing stage at this point, listening over and over and making small changes here and there in hopes of bringing you an album of songs you’ll enjoy listening to as much as we enjoyed recording them. When we get to the point of ordering the physical CDs, we will plan an official CD release party and will let you know the details of that as we put them together. There has been some talk of a house concert to celebrate the release, but we may end up at a regular venue and do the house concert separately. We’ll keep you posted!
We thank you for your support and your patience as we go through the process of making new music available to you. Lots of love from all of us to all of you!
