Everything at the right place

The mixing of all the songs has been finished today (thanks to klanktank). Everything is at the right place in the sound spectrum, so you can see it with your eyes closed and ears wide open. So what will be next is the mastering, which will be done coming friday at Qpoint in Hilversum, where the last veil will be removed. We're really looking forward to that moment when the last shelves that are covering our ears will be removed. At the same time the graphic design is being created (by www.studiopankra.com), so that those sounds will get to you in the right cover.
There will be a vinyl~cover for those who are interested.

Final touch is being done on the coming shows. The people that will be part of The Unseen Movie Project those shows are Kitty Looten (saxophones & flute), Jacco Dijs (guitars), Henk Doest (piano & keys), Peter van Laer (vocal), Yasmin Kedar (vocal), Njambi Atema (vocals), Job Noordmans (drums & percussion), Niek Smelt (drums & percussion), Ruben Bekx (bass(synth)).

The Unseen Movie Project plays fILMs for the bLINd

Finally some news to write about. On the 20th of March 2007 there will be a reprise of fILMs for the bLINd: "C'est la Vie". There are some new tunes added and some others are replaced. It will be at the Conservatory of Utrecht on the 1st floor at 19.30.
The group of musicians (called The Unseen Movie Project) has become a little bit smaller, but none the less, there will lots of beautifull sounds.

In the meantime, the recording of the first few songs has almost come to an end, and hopefully we will be able to present an EP to you on the 20th of March. So be there.
