A few updates from Semantic-Land.

I decided to extend the crowdfunding campaign for two more weeks. why? Eh why not.. IndieGogo suggested me and I obeyed, but apparently I can only extend it once. So this is your last change to pledge www.igg.me/at/semantic

Yesterday, I wanted to take a break from working on the album cover. So, I started streaming my work on the first digital painting portrait for the backer Gaurav Dubey. I will continue working on this evening. You can watch me paint live on www.twitch.tv/metroprog and If you want your own digital portrait done by me, go get the Prog Legend perk through the crowdfunding campaign link above.

I’ll be in Europe (Netherlands/England) for the next 10 days or so, don’t miss me too much  I’m going to be kicking Kristoffer Gildenlöw’s ass for being slow in delivering his awesome bass lines. Just kidding Kristoffer, take all the time you need. I should be partly blamed for it actually.
Bass lines are 80% done and the mixing process is only a couple of weeks away (no pressure)

I’ll try to keep you entertained from Europe.

An Update From Craig

Hey folks!

Craig Blundell has an update for you today.

Tonight I sent over the final stems and finished my drums on the staggeringly good Semantic Saturation album. Alongside Shant Hagopian and Kristoffer Gildenlöw there’s a whole host of great guests in this project, it was great to listen back to my drums with Derek Sherinian playing over them, here’s my final ‘production sheet’. The album was a HUGE challenge from start to finish and I can’t wait for you guys to hear it.

There’s a few videos coming soon, please check out their page
