After Gut Work, we decided to remake Ferdukia, our rock opera epic. We worked on it for a long time and used a couple of different software tools... but we were never together, geographically, during the entire project.For awhile we used a collaborative recording tool, the name of which I can't remember. It consisted of a web site and a downloadable tool that was an approximation of a 4-track recorder with rudimentary effects. We then moved on to using Cubase. For the most part we would each do our part, then mail back & forth two things: a mix down of the full song and a wav file containing a mix of just the pieces we had added to the song.This is not that far off from Stomock's origins with the "Tig Machine." That thing required us to record a track on one cassette, then move that cassette from the recording slot into the playing slot, then play it while we recorded the next layer onto another cassette.The resulting recording remains my favorite Stomock album.This song, "Life's Such a Joy" was on both versions of Ferdukia. Many of the songs take the perspective of one or the other of the twins (born joined at the Stomock and separated at birth). In this one, the twin the King kept tells how he shucked off his royal life and hit the road with joy and evil devastation.
