It's done!

After 70-80 hours at Uptown Recording (recording and mixing) and Gravity Studios (mastering), the music is done! I can't wait to let you all hear it.

It's a little scary to be essentially finished with the album after so long - I've been planning this project for years. And now that it's done, I feel a bit like Inigo Montoya: "It's very strange. I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life." ("Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.")

No more tweaking the songs. Or changing the track order. Or anything else. Doug at Gravity compared it to sending a kid off to college: at some point, you have to let go and trust that you did a good job.

Of course, there's still a lot of work to do before the album will be truly done: I still need to do a photo shoot, design the album art, get the CDs pressed, and redesign this website. So there's plenty to do even though it feels like a chapter has closed. But it's done!
