Time For Some Updates

Alex Argento‘s mixes started coming in as we speak, there will be some back and forth feedback before we get to the final mix, but we’ll get there.

Meanwhile we’re working on a fabulous music video for one of the tracks from the new album Paradigms, titled “Carousel of Death” with the amazing duo Richard Bastarache and Steph Miramontes Art. We’ve already shot in a few locations over three days, first two of which went great, and the third day… I don’t wanna talk about it right now, but we managed to pull it off; thanks to my wonderful wife Nanor Wazirian who’s organizing everything and doing her best to put together the music video.

I’m also working on the album cover, as you may or may not know, I’m painting the album cover digitally myself, it’s gonna be something out of this world, literally. And if you’d like to watch me paint, I have a twitch channel where I stream the painting process live, go follow me there at www.twitch.tv/metroprog.

Over and out!

Craig Blundell’s Portrait

Yesterday, I finished painting the portrait of drummer Craig Blundell who is working with me on the new album “Paradigms”. Here’s the end result with a touch of creepiness and a bit of fantasy. Thank you Michael Giordano for the inspiration 🙂

My Other Artistic Side

Hey folks. I want to show you my other artistic side. I do digital paintings every once in a while, whenever I need a break from music. Yesterday, I finished this portrait painting of the lovely singer Anneke Van Giersbergen with whom I aspire to work one day.

I will broadcast the painting process live so everyone can watch it.
