Hello dears!
I can't believe March is already gone.
What is there to report? Seven Spires' tracks for the first EP (OFFICIAL TITLE ALERT: "The Cabaret of Dreams") are all sent off to Germany for mixing and mastering, the first videoshoot is done and being edited, we've done a couple photoshoots, rehearsals have started to perfect our live show, and we're drafting the EP booklet, talking to our local friends about doing some shows/tour together, and at some point I suppose we'll probably start looking at making some merch!
Meanwhile, look out for a teaser, a demo, and some other fun releases before this EP drops. Seriously so excited for this.
Oh yeah, and uni's going well. I might place out of the last level of Ear Training since I did so well on my midterms, which is always handy. Had to handwrite a score and individual parts for my Arranging midterm (photo above). Andddd I've just seen Dream Theater perform at the absolutely gorgeous Boston Opera House with the Berklee orchestra (World Strings plus special guests) and concert choir. The orchestra was conducted by Eren Başbuğ, a fellow student here. I am in awe of that guy's talent and drive. His passion for what he does is incredible, and it's so great to see it all paying off like this.
Also, while we're talking about local legends... check out Alek Darson's Panopticon EP. This guy is self produced, absolutely awesome at writing, has serious guitar chops, and is super humble. Wow.
Onwards and upwards, friends, we're aiming for the stars as always!
Yours,
Adrienne
PS Jack, Anthony, JP, and I had an awesome time playing live on WUML 91.5's The Stress Factor last month! You can see some more behind the scenes photos here :)
