please welcome another crew member aboard the ship voXager: Lars, whose weapon is the six-string, and in this case, of the acoustic variety. He joined us on a distant celestial body called “Örs” or “Örth” or something, and we already recorded lots of stuff. But before we could do so, we had to fix the six-stringed weapon… as you can see on the picture to the right.

Anyway, here’s a little something for your aching heart… Lars is in it, and Cheryl, and Sebas, and Sven, and that guy who still refers to himself in the pluralis majestatis on occasion… (who could that be?)

Just a short one, now that january is over. We’ve got the lizard in the box! No, seriously, Cheryl has tracked everything that is Nopileos, and here’s the first preview:

You hear Sven on the rhythm guitar, with Sebas adding two wonderful soli; there’s Laura singing Elena, and of course, now for the first time in ages, Cheryl performing the role of Nopileos! Oh, and I’m in it, too. You can’t miss it

Yours truly,

This is just a short heads-up on our progress in doing stuff. And by stuff I mean…. recording. Vocals! Yay!

To the right, you see Laura not performing the role of “Elena Lindisfarne Kho” (but she eventually did ), and below, my humble self, croaking your most beloved antagonist, “Cho t’Nnt”.
	I’ve also added a short sound bite to taser you a little. Err, I mean, to tease you… It’s a teaser, right? Here you go: [Download voXager Clip #661]

On the other side of the big pond, Cheryl started recording the vocals for our little lizard, Nopileos. I’ll post something here as soon as possible!

Until then, as usually, have fun, don’t break too many things over Kristmess, and see you on the other side.

I’m happy to announce that the tracking of the final vocals will commence this weekend with Cho t’Nnt, the growly-screechy main character that is performed by me. During the weekend from november 24-25, another main character will be recorded, namely Elena Kho, performed by Laura ten Hoedt. Early on in December, most secondary characters vocals will be finished. I’m very excited; this is a huge step!

To make the best of the recording situation in the new voXager study — I’ll call it floor4 for the time being, because it’s on the 4th floor right in the center of Düsseldorf — I bought a way too expensive Clearsonic isolation booth. I’ll snap a few pictures as soon as somebody is in the booth.

Anyway — have a nice weekend.

NO SEX
NO DRUGS
NO CARRIER

We’ve not come to a grinding halt here. We’re just doing it slomo…

Later, perpetrator

Nope, you are wrong.  Yours truly is in a recording session right now, in this very moment. Ok, not right right now, playing guitar and typing on a virtual keyboard at the same time  is not that easy for humanoids. But now in a sense of a click

- wait a moment -

Apparently, yours truly is getting carried away a bit. Maybe our latest crewmember is somehow responsible

Anyway  -  just welcome this handcrafted beauty and stay put for some musical results dropped here very soon.

Over and out  -  S. of voXager

not only are we about to get real with the album, we’re also getting real with the guitars now — maybe even exactly now, this very moment!

So, allow me to introduce you to our newest crew-member, a Jet City PicoValve. Yeah, I know, it reads  ‘pico’, but it doesn’t sound  pico at all! This little box indeed makes a helluva noise, ask my neighbors!

The sound from the left Celestion speaker will be miked and put straight into our DAW. We’ll also record a clean track, so re-amping will always be possible at a later point in time. In fact, we’re running that clean track through a virtual amp anyway. Mixing both to taste will give us a fat (as in phat) guitar sound.

First results will be on display here shortly!

Sven

We have 18 Songs (not counting possible bonus tracks). All keys, drums and bass tracks have been recorded in their final version. Next up: Guitars, solo instrumentalists, and, of course, vocalists. Aliens of the universe, we’re about to get real! Applaud us long and hard

Yours truly 2094,
Höllge of voXager
