Is a matter that we can't avoid.
I'm trying to make music anytime I can, but everytime it seems that something else has a higher priority... Actually I'm in the middle of my holydays, have bad luck with one of my teeth, and was forced to spend a lot of time to recover my health, but now I'm back again...
I hope that I can do something good with music in the remaining time, I finally ended my diagnostic on my setup, witch is no good to my desired settings... I have some things to sell now, in order to reorganize it, and putting it in a productive way. Meanwhile I'm trying to get some sound out of it, just to complete things in music and stuff.
It means a delay in publish my music? Yes. But probably now I can set things more straight after that, and have the right sound equations on its place... I don't do simple things, always I try to found new sounds and the broadest palettte of colours available, so I can paint the music as I wish and need.
Also I try to be able to switch between different live music situations, I mean, do symphonic things with the guitar and when needed change to a setup that can puts me right to play in a power trio without the need to switch on/off a dozen of pedals...
Actually I'm working hard on that, I hope I can be able to hit the road with my friends as soon as I can...

Tech Issues
Solved the issue with the sound card, now we have to upgrade our instrument setup, in order to provide a good environment at the moment of play the guitar... Tested new pedals, now we are in the road to finish the other personal studio needs, (it means) console, cables, mics, midi controller, software and the rest of the equipment required for recording... I decide finally not to go to a studio by now, unless I can have more rehearsals with my team mates, a thing by the moment very difiicult because of the superimposed holidays... We try to do our best as ever, so I hope we can record at least at the month's end...
Meanwhile, I am looking for younger musicians with a thirst for making music with which to begin forming a new and more stable band with whom to play, and continue to grow. Music is a soul matter, no matter how we do it, or when, or where; so we put our very best on it. More old material will be added to our previously selected.
Cheers, Puppy

2011
Well, we start pretty good the year, have a new guitar, a new situation at my job, and possitive things happening all around... I manage myself in order to make more instrument practice, I hope I can be able to record something soon, unfortunally have an inconvinience with my actual hardware, so I'm looking forward for a decent sound card, so I can put on record again my sound system.
It's strange when you put all your energy on something, it seems that not always you can get some feedback of the world... Maybe there's still some friction with someone or something in the system that does not allow you to reach the things you need in the desired time or place... What it could be?
Maybe too much hacking all around...? Who knows, but I think about it that no one have the right to stop or put the pause button on everyone else's evolution... No matter what it could be, it's not a grace to be freaked by aliens into our(s) own self developing path...
...And I'm not talking only about web technology, a lot of people lives more than the half of a day only seeing the way to move their influences over you, or whatever they want to be controlled... Just to satisfy their short-view degree of consciousness. What a pity, isn't it?

See you soon :) Puppy

Now on
Well, we are working now on the recording part of my first record, witch is the same to say "We're on it". Actually we have about the 75% done, I expect to do some more work on these days, hoping to be enough free from my main job at the cd & dvd factory...
Also I intend to extend the technical capabilities of my personal studio (in developing) a little far by adding the necessary midi controller and the racks for the amps and gear... All at its own time, when time (again) and money could allow them. The overall idea is to spend a lot less money in going to a studio, when I can do the same things easily at home...
In future posts I'll like to talk about the inner part of the music, I mean, the background of the inspiration (a kind of spirituality) that is the source of all this, if you like, strange sound passages turned into music...
A big hug from B.A., see you around! :)

... About the music
Currently I'm working on several pieces, some of them using already recorded material from the past, and also I left space for brand new compositions. I usually think very much in the ASDR scheme of the sound, because one of my music theories led me to use the form of the main timbre as a part of the morphology of the musical works.
It means that I not always use the common A-B-A or A-B-A-C-A idea for song structure, I like to think of the works as "flows" of sound, that I intend to redirect to the heart. Because after all, at least to me, no matter we hear the sounds with the head, finally the real listener lies there.
In the technical side, I use keyboards with synthesis and sampling programmed exclusively by me, and electric guitar in a stereo set with which I do most of the works, with a lot of signal processing; almost the same treatment that I do with the keyboards. From time to time I change for acoustic sounds, generally in duo or trio with my brothers and friends, and also I add some tuned and untuned percussion where needed.

... And here comes the first one: Format issues
Well,
anyone that visit the site now maybe notice that I put "None of Puppy's albums can be found on xTunes". This is because actually I am against Low-Fi, I don't like the quality of legal or illegal downloads, so for the moment, and for a long (I think) period of time, as well as my music comes out, it only could be available in physical format, (it means) cd or vinyl pressings.
I think that people deserves the best audio quality possible to be produced. The market only goes to where the company's owners wish to end, and that is their swiss bank accounts, not the final consumer ears. We are talking about music, not yellow press newspapers that could be used as "toilette" paper. This is, if you like, a statement.
Musicians, producers and sound engineers works very hard to have the final mix. And a lot of money is wasted on the recording process... So, why to transform an (i.e.) U$S 20.000 production into a U$S 0.10 value? When music is recorded, the intention is to meet the highest quality standards, so it haven't any common sense to destroy that just for some people misguiding about audio (and good taste)!
At least by now I have not found a reliable (in quality) way of legal download that satisfy my requirements, so we (my producing team) do that way. I hope the delays in putting the music out could be reduced as much as we can.
Cheers! :)
