State of the Album
みなさん こんにちわ! I’ve been listening to the new songs over the last week or so. As a whole, the new album has a full skeleton. I hope to begin working on lyrics/vocals this week. In terms of how it sounds–as mentioned before, it will be a step up sonically. I think that there are aspects…

Another song in the bag. This one is much more metal. I figured I needed another metal sounding song to fill the otherwise electronic vibe of the album out. That makes three straight up metal songs, a dancey instrumental and three dancey vocal based tracks done. I endeavor to do one more. I am thinking…

I have been trying all week to get a song going that I can feel in my veins. I even went so far as to fully commit to a false start (about 8 hours of work) before I decided to move on. The vibe that’s working for me this time is straight up metal. Heavier…

Studio Report 4
I got another track in the bag today. I have seven tracks completed for the next LP. The music can be best described as uplifting, energetic, electronic, and different than my previous output. There are two metal tracks on the album but they may get dancified. We’ll see. From a sonic point of view this…

Today’s work included getting song x2x for the next studio album to the bridge. Starting tomorrow, I will get that out of the way. I will also get the intro settled. In my mind this sound is undoubtedly Gothic Visual Kei. Overall, the sound is less metal. Yesterday I started working on my live set…

On Weeping
For me, crying is a physical response to mundane frustration, momentary sadness, and temporary pain. Weeping is different than crying.

Beatober 2022 Postmortem
Dear Friends, I have completed an objective of mine over the last thirty-one days in my committed participation in a challenge called “Beatober.” The rules were simple enough—create a piece of music or “beat” everyday for the entirety of October. After the release of Lacrimorta’s first album in August I wasn’t sure what my next…
