A big thank you to all the musicians, our sound engineer Karim and the team at the basel city studios. Meanwhile Felix is working on the post-production, re-programmin some loops, cutting new samples, adding some over-dubs - and enjoying the warm sound of the recording and all its details... There were some nice jam sessions going on as well - get an exclusive sneak preview of "Terminal B", a beautiful moment caught on tape with Felix on the piano and Steve on live electronics.

They'll be part of our repertoire for the showcase gig at the Stadtmusikfestival on 29th August in the court of the museum of art Basel and live on 106.6 (in Basel) or on livingroom.fm. We're happy to anounce that Peter Borföi will join us for this concert as well as for the studio recording in October. Peter played with Electrolux, Mosso, Shabani and the Burning Birds and many others and developped his very own style of bass playing, using effects to create a drum'n'bass sound.

As I caught a little virus on my laptop, I had to erase all programs and then download some freeware midi recording programs. The workflow slowed down a little... nevertheless we have one new tune ready! We'll put a sample online when we're back home and able to record it correctly - can't wait to get back on Cubase... We'll do a first showcase gig for a special occasion: Goldamour will play some acoustic versions of the tunes at the Stadtmusik Festival Basel in the court of the Kunstmuseum Basel (museum of art) on the evening of 29th August. The entry is free and the concert (as the whole festival) will be broadcasted live on 106.6 - stop by or tune in! Jan 27, 2012 Add comment Share
We've been very busy promoting the demos and it starts paying out. Final production should take place soon with the crew from the preproduction and an additional bass player. we're going to record in September/ October and will hopefully finish the production by the end of the year. Some samples of the new demos "Ailleur" et "Equilibre" are online - check them out here.
We're almost done with two more demos, check back soon for some excerpts! We're very happy with the two new songs. We wrote them in one session and so there are very homogenic. Production and programming took a little more time though... Two more songs to go and we have the material ready for the whole cd.
Two new tracks are in production and the demos will soon be available on this site! "Ailleurs" is a beautiful, melancholic ballad and "Closer " (just a working title...) a midtempo track, in which acoustic and electronic merge nicely. Meanwhile we're preparing the studio sessions to turn the preproductions into the definitive recordings!
We are currently working on four more tracks for the complete album after the mixdown of the first preproduction (listen to it here). As "Transit" will be a concept album with a continuing story, we are producing an opening track that leads into the main character's situation. It will begin with an explosive solo by Jasper over fast drumming, programming with bended sounds and a sound design that matches the story.
