A start is a start is a start...

Ok, so the new Simons & Van Buuringen project is underway. Edwin has sent me a short piece, also to demonstrate the sound quality of his acoustic guitar recorded by his new mic. That's actually a promising start. I even managed to put something together, although I have to put some more work into it before sending it off to him.

We also decided to upgrade our DAW software to make exchanging Cubase projects a bit easier (or so we hope). A good enough excuse for me to upgrade to the latest (and for the first time) full version of Cubase, which should give me a couple of extra toys to work with.

Last weekend I also assisted Adrian Jones (the third weekend in a row) with his recordings for the new Nine Stones Close album. That one is actually starting to take shape (and a nice shape it is). I think that him collaborating with keyboard player Brendan Eyre on the writing is going to bring NSC to the next level by introducing some different elements to the music. Not that Adrian wouldn't be able to write a great album on his own. Anyway, visit their site and facebook page every now and then to see how things are progressing.
