    Slowed-Down Songs, Atmos Mixing, and Creative Grit: A Deep Dive Into My Latest Release Cycle

    Some say that patience is a virtue. There is a portion of a release made almost 2 weeks ago that is holding up that release (meaning the Atmos version of Delicate Stretch of the Seems). Learning that dental implants can take up to a year. And that I may have a new tradition with releases, like last week’s release and the one coming. This past week has been slowed-down in so many ways.

    Despite taking Dolby’s online course and learning all I could about mixing and mastering for Atmos, it’s still in my beta-testing phase – so to speak. One of the songs off the Delicate Stretch of the Seems album held up the release past the release date. Somehow in the transferring of the files to the distributor it lost all it’s metadata. That has been rectified, but they still haven’t given me a time frame as to the day it will release the album. Will have to wait.

    For those that have never broken a tooth, I commend you. I tend to have more than a few stories of broken teeth, most of them mine. I suppose it’s a by-product of being overly active in life and less than lucky of putting a mouth in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    I’m in the midst of getting an implant or two to replace ones that broken in very unfortunate ways. Meaning below the gum-line and unable to be crowned. Extraction is not a pleasant process. And implants don’t get done in a single day. I’m looking at months of waiting and as someone who really enjoys food, eating it right now is a very different endeavor. I’ll say “I can’t wait until I have those implants.” but reality is, I have to.

    This week I unveil the 3rd alternate release of Delicate Stretch of the Seems. Or at least it was supposed to be the 3rd alternate. Delicate Stretch of the Seems (Slowed Down) is this week’s announcement. Much like last week’s sped up version, this stems from those fringe types that would rather hear things feeling like a dirge.

    Again this is a response to things on Social Media, like TikTok. Knowing that people will do this to the music is kinda depressing. Maybe that is the point. They’re feeling down and want to express it with songs they know. Thus now there is a much longer slower version of all 15 of these songs. You will need patience to get thru them.

    Stay tuned, there will be more.
