Bounte album

I got in touch with J*Star, a rapper I met in Cleveland about working on one of my tracks, and he’s down with it. I just have to call him and work out how to work it out. Which is intimidating for me, Mr. non-verbal. Those of you who have met Phone-Dean can appreciate where I’m coming from.

I have 10 tracks lined up, and I want to write one more. Then I’ll bring in the rest of the guest singers (in addition to the absolutely wonderful track Lauren already did – you’re gonna love it), record them and do the final mixes. I want to talk again with Alan from Silver Atlas about doing a song (that’s the one more I was talking about). He has a wonderful voice and charisma. Then where we at? I’ll probably shell out for mastering, and a limited run hand printed CD or something like that, say 100 screen-printed copies. Then promotion. Then live.

Bounte live

The DJ set next week is going to be different than I expected. I have to attend a preview performance to be certain, but seems I’ll be filling in all the gaps between the theater performances, rather than doing a full-on set. But I still encourage you to come out and enjoy the evening of art – should be some good theater, and I’m going to pull out a couple exclusive new tracks.

Beyond that, Bounte live will get a serious overhaul. I’m going to find a singer that really fits the project, and rearrange tracks for a live instrumentation. In the end it may turn into a collaboration that moves away from Bounte, but I’m ok with that as long as I’m enjoying the music.

Beatserv

This is the most immediately exciting thing. We’ve got 2/3 of our beats packaged, with the rest on the way. The site is done and being proofread. Plans for the future are already being discussed. I’m having some problems uploading some large files, but some PHP research should take of that. We’ll give you some sort of fanfare when we launch.
