  More Instruments
  Since our new songs are all Lullabies we can’t just play a normal drum set, Dann had to come up with some new softer ways to play percussion for the album. And our friend Aaron Strumpel did an amazing job adding trumpet to our songs. The man has super human lungs! And he’s just fun to watch. It’s hard to hear exactly what the songs will be like only hearing one instrument, but that will just build the anticipation for you.

• We’re Still not Explicit

  Hello again,
  We have fixed the issue with our song downloads of The Autumn Film. We were by no way Explicit in content, again it was just a glitch in a new system of ours. If you have a download that does have this issue send us an email at band@pagecxvi.com and we’ll get you a new download code as soon as possible. We’re sorry for any confusion.

  Thanks again,
  Page

• The Autumn Film not Explicit!

  Hey Friends,
  For some reason our downloads for our other project, The Autumn Film, of 8 Track Tape and our other records are listed as “Explicit” on iTunes. Please know this is a mistake! Our content is by no means explicit and we are doing our best to fix the problem as quickly as we can!

  Thanks again for all of you that gave us the heads up!

  Cheers,
  Page

  Another day in the studio
  Well we only have one piano, but we have the two great parts to play, what should we do?
  I think the best option is for both of us to play at the same time. We don’t even look that excited about it, maybe we should just get another piano, and that way we don’t have to look at each other while we play.
  Aside from that, we’re still tracking away here in the studio, hopefully we’ll have some sort of sample for you to listen to.
  We got back our new masters of a new project that is coming out this summer, before Hymns lullabies is. We just can’t wait to get all of this to you.

  Day 3 in the studio
  Not even a giant (multiple feet of snow) storm can keep us out of the studio. It made for a very cold studio experience, but it made us glad to be inside with warm cups of coffee doing what we love to do. We tried some bow work on the guitar, and percussion work on the bass as you can see in the video. Who knows what sorts of things we’ll come up with next? We’re taking a weekend break, to go play in the snow, and then we’re back to the studio bright and early on Monday. See you then!

• Day 2 in The Studio
  We’ve got a great song selection. We’ve got things mapped out, and now we just get to play with all sorts of sounds and midi instruments. We spent the better half of the morning just playing around with noises and tweaking sounds. There’s just too many choices! This video is just a glimpse into our creative minds and our thought process. Hope you Enjoy!

  Day 1 in the studio
  We think we have arranged most of the songs that will be on Hymns Lullaby. We’re so excited! There’s a lot of experimentation going on. Dann our drummer is behind a keyboard, and headphones sound better when they’re half on. How do you finish a song when lullabies make you sleepy? More things we’ll have to figure out on day 2.
