NAAB Studios

Okay so there is not really any good excuse for why this blog hasn’t been updated in ages, there is lots to talk about, Main Finger and I have been up to a lot, both together and separately.  I’ll let him tell his end of the story, whenever he gets around to it.

So now here are some itemized events that have gone on that pertain to what I’ve been up to.

02/01/2009 – Geoffio Relocates to Port Angeles, WA

I have moved myself and my studio to Port Angeles, the main town I grew up in. It has a nice lazy atmosphere and I wanted to get out of the chaos of the city for now. I will probably move back sometime in the foreseeable future.  But I don’t know when that will be. I have setup my humble studio here and its a very comfortable place to work from.  Things are coming together and lots of musical work is being done, for NAAB, For myself, and for a secret project that I should be able to talk about in a few weeks.

My Main Work Station

Geoffio's Guitar Setup, The other guitars are in the guitar storage room.

10/12/09 Mega Man Battle Network Remix Album

Main Finger and I have both seen it as our civic duty to remix the original Mega Man Battle Network soundtrack. We’re doing it with 3 other re mixers associated with The Mega Man Network. On this album we’ll be working separately and together on around 10 tracks of the 24ish tracks. There will be at least one NaaB song on it. And lots of songs by the other contributors of course. Check out the project’s homepage where you can follow the project and updates are released and listen to a few samples.

11/20/09 NaaB Gets a new website.

Main Finger and I worked together to get a more solid start to our website. Its still not completely finished, but its a lot more solid than any of the previous incarnations. Check it out at http://www.noiseandabeat.com

It’s been a long time since I posted so I figure I am due. Couple of things… NaaB did work on another DoD song, but complications led it to be not submitted on time. So we do have another song made, but we won’t be releasing it yet. We’re going to polish it up more since there is no longer a strict deadline on it. But we aren’t letting that late submission get us down in fact we plan to DoD again in the very near future, so look out!

On another note, I might be doing a collaboration as sort of a producer role with Ganymede Radio, but he’s living in the Dominican Republic these days and we’re having some technical difficulties with our different operating systems and what not. But if we get it sorted out I’ve already heard 3 demo tracks and I am really liking what I hear.

And on a personal note, looks like I’ll be getting one of my wisdom teeth pulled next week. Fun times. Oh and I got to go to PAX and check out lots of cool stuff. Hit up the podcast for the rundown on that.

So our album is later than we had originally hoped. This has happened for several reasons. Most of those have been related to business on other fronts AKA (Main Finger’s “Mode 7″ album, Dwelling of Duels, Moving, etc). We’ve also been spending a huge amount of time learning how to actually produce music.

Rest assured however, regular progress is still being made on the F-Zero album. And we’ve not given up on it. By this point we’re about 35% done on it or something. But don’t lose hope, because progress will be exponentially increasing as Main Finger finishes his album and we finish up some of the other lose ends we’re working on.

We’re probably not going to be releasing many tracks until they are completely finished. But hopefully we’ll prepare some sort of demo or teaser to listen to. The good news is that we’re learning a ton and that the extra time we’re taking on this album is going to mean that its much higher quality than we had originally planned.

This is a public service announcement, in the interest of public safety I beg all to stay away from the beats. They are corrupt. They have been tainted by years of “beating”. The devil invented beats to steal the hearts of America’s Youth.

Noise on the other hand is as faithful as ever. Did you know that noise aids blind people when they cross streets? Noise also lets us know when our food is ready. Noise is innate in man, it gives us a sense of Moral Stability. Even the crappiest of noise teaches our children morals and values and real life situations. Embrace the noise, shun the beats.

That is all.

Thanks.

Hey, so me and Geoffio decided to start a blog for a few reasons (mainly to help get us in the habit for dealing with blogs so much at work). Anywho, time for introductions. I am Main Finger and I do the technoes. My main man Geoffio plays guitars and together we make Noise and a Beat (NAAB). So this blog will be for both NAAB and our solo projects… and miscellaneous crap as well I guess. That’s all for now.
