After a week plus off for vacation and having to come back to work for 2 days, it was nice to have a day off in the middle of the week. I decided to spend this time prepping some technology for the upcoming rehearsal and drum recordings for 2 new songs: Forever Wasting Time and [...]

It’s been since April 2009 since I 1st tore open the dozens of boxes containing pieces of my long awaited Simmons SD9K Electronic Drums [1] (see previous post Mother Effin’ Drums!), so I decided it’s probably about time I did a review. Also, seeing a lot of searches for information on this particular drum kit [...]

My name is Agrippa, though not my real name it’s the pseudonym I use as a musician for my band Agrippa93 as well my solo project Agrippa’s Laboratory. My involvement in these 2 spans through many roles including songwriting, arrangements, lyricist, vocals, guitar, bass and bass programming, synths, sequencers, piano, drum programming, audio engineer, producer, promoter, [...]

Sunday’s A93 session was canceled, however I used the time to dig into some of my A-Lab stuff – more specifically the song Face Down and Ear Deep. After spending an hour or so editing a section of vocals I rerecorded last Friday I realized it was all crap and scrapped it in favor of the [...]

In the anticipation of recording songs with the new A93 line up I figured it was about time to dig into Logic and create an environment [...]

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has been releases since August and the install disk has been sitting on my desk collecting dust since then because of one company: M-Audio. I love M-Audio products in look, feel, and operation (I own the ProjectMix, Radium, iControl, and a couple others), but historically they have taken their [...]

Agrippa93 – The Off Season
Monday morning our bassist, Joe Deep gave his resignation from the band due to a couple of reason: 1) He’s focusing his energies on his main project, Imperium Mortis, where he plays a more predominant role as the lead guitarist and 2) Unreconcilable differences (paraphrasing) with another member of the band [...]

Music

A while ago a friend recommended I post some of my music on the online radio network, SongVault (read more about it). The website works as a tier system, where listeners vote on songs and depending on its success, a song can climb through all the way to the top. Once there, a song enters [...]

Post something about a diet that actually works and the site’s stats skyrocket. Now that I have your attention…

Songs In Progress
We have a whole bunch of songs in different stages that we’ve been working on since completing Beneath the Cypress Tree and even some with origins going way back. Thankfully, when Galen left he [...]
