Update on Pocket Mass Project.

I'm very pleased to report that the recording of Pocket Mass is chugging along.  We have nearly completed all the movements, just needing one bass singer to do us a really awesome low F in one of the movements and the sopranos to complete their work, and handclaps for another movement.  I got studio roughs of 5 of the movements today, and, as I hoped they would, they sound like a full chorus.  Wayne, our engineer and patient technician will be fine-tuning pitch and phrasing in the next few weeks.  I am working at home on the other recorded work that will complete the CD, since Pocket Mass is only about 16 minutes long.  It's hard work, but I have been enjoying it and as an unintended benefit have learned loads about pitch and rhythm, not to mention digital audio editing during which you can sit so still and think so hard that your butt falls asleep.

I'm hoping to release the album in late June or midsummer barring any catastrophes.  I have more work to do compiling a radio stations list for a pr mailing as well as completing artwork for the cover, not to mention cracking the whip on poor Jerry to get all of the score edits and corrections completed.  We have invested tremendous sweat equity into this project, and I am hoping it's all worth it.  So far, the music is saying it is.
