The "DoDo Project": Preview Single!


Press Release:

The “DoDo Project” starts here!

I’m sure you all know, but Bachelor No. 2 or the Last Remains Of The Dodo is Aimee Mann’s third studio album, which was originally released in 2000. It is one of the best albums in Pop Music. Says Y.

 
By mid-March 2012 Y had recorded sixteen tracks for the project. At that point he was contacted by soundman Maceo, who had heard about Y working on something. Before having heard any of the songs, he volunteered to do some post-production on some of the tracks. However, after a few very effective test-mixes, both he and Y agreed that he should have a go at the entire album. His input was essential to opening these songs up to a wider sound-spectrum, whilst cutting out Y’s tendency to overproduction. He even added some vocals here and there. In Maceo’s words: ‘The album sounds better with each listen!’

By the end of the month, the project is now nearing its completion – give them another 2 or 3 weeks for finalizing the mixes and sequencing the whole thing. But we love the album so much that a preview single is called for!

Well, here it is

Backfire (Maceo Mix) b/w Just Like Anyone (Demo)

Side A:


Side B:



Both songs are written by Aimee Mann and performed by Ymaginatif in his (rare) spare time. Backfire has post-production by Maceo!

The "DoDo Project": the remix EP

Good news!
Maxim has just agreed to produce an EP of remixes of selected tracks from the "DoDo Project"!


The album itself probably won't be ready before mid April - but I'm think of perhaps previewing a single here by the end of the week!

Update On the "DoDo Project"

16 songs are now recorded for the "DoDo Project" - which is now in its finals stages!

Two people in the world have listened to it, and they loved it ...

But before I put it out here, Maceo has agreed to do some of his post-production and mixing on these tracks! Lovely!

announcement

You may think things are a bit quiet around here?

Is this another blog that went down with the megaupload crash?

no

The truth is that I've been working on something bigger than usual, which started in mid January.

Now, forty days later and with the end in sight, I can say: coming soon on a site near to you:


"Ymaginatif - The DoDo Project"



... what?
