Album Timeline

Hi everyone, this is just a quick update to let you know about where
things are at with my health and the timetable for the album.

So, I am starting to get a bit stronger now and this week I have
been able to make definite plans about dates for finishing the
final stages of the album.  As I mentioned before, the majority of
the recording work is done- I just have a few vocals, the mix and
mastering process. I have decided to give myself a little extra time
to finish these final stages and the new deadline is 31st August.
I hope that's ok with you all.

The vocals will be done over the next 6 weeks as that'll give me
time to build strength back up in my voice. I had my first lesson last
week since I got ill and luckily my voice hasn't disappeared!

The mix will be done in the week 13th- 17th August. This gives me
time to do the last vocals, aswell as some extra time to improve
in terms of my recovery- as the mix process will be full time days
for a week and require some stamina!

I find the mix is one of the parts of the album I've been most excited about
so I really hope I can attend the mix sessions! If I'm not well enough
a trusted a musician friend of mine has agreed to sit in for me, and
in addition, the engineer/ producer I've been working with is the person
who will be doing the mix and he's someone who's musical sense
I definitely trust- so that's all good!

The mastering will be done following the mix in time for the new release
date of 31st August- we have arranged that with the mastering engineer
in advance aswell.

The exclusives: I am starting to feel well enough to complete these
and I will do my best to have the majority done by the
1st August as agreed. However, I would like to give an absolute
deadline a bit later than this, so that I can take a bit longer to
finish artwork and also because the physical release of the album may
take a few weeks longer to process. So, the majority of exclusives by
1st August- any remaining will have a deadline of 15th October.

The date has also been pushed forward because I am emigrating to
the US in September, so there will be lots going on to prepare for the
move in the weeks before, so an October deadline gives me the chance
to work on stuff once I've arrived over there.

Ok, that's all the info for the timeline, will send further updates on other stuff
soon!
