new Distant Towers tune is forthcoming

Within the next 7 days a new tune by Distant Towers will be released.  It is called Dive 2 the Middle.  This is a tune from April 2010 developed live by Tom, Tony and Robbie at Distant Towers South.  Final tracks were completed in June.  Tony helmed the mixing for this one with a lot of advice and guidance from Tom.

This tune will be the seventh towards a third CD of Distant Towers material.  It is not clear at this time whether our 3rd CD will consist of these tunes but it is likely. 

Look for a link to the tune here very soon.

Mastering for Bounce has commenced

Tom recently delivered the nine tunes for the Bounce CD to Tony for mastering.  The first master version was created on July 17, 2010 and is currently being critiqued.  We fully expect to have a finished CD in our hands by the end of September, start of October.

We have plans for a new website to coincide with the new album although the current website pages will still be available through a special link or several links once the new site goes live.

Tom is currently wading into the world of graphics to formulate and execute the concept for Bounce CD package so that it will be ready in time to send to the duplicator with the finished master disc.

Many thanks to all our various friends and family members who have lent an ear to this group of tunes as they were created.  The last tune for this CD was finished in October 2009.  We purposely waited until summer 2010 to start mastering the CD in order to give us some objectivity on the tunes as well as allowing us time in the intervening 8 months to make some more tunes and have some fun playing together.
