Session #3
Today Abby and I went to Federal Way for our third recording session with Travis. We recorded the last two full songs of the EP, Closer (Driving Off a Cliff) and Sunset. We spent three hours quickly getting the parts recorded and it came out very well. Soon we will get the finished product of those songs for the EP which will be finished within the next twelve days. If you would like to order a CD or to contact APPLE TREE please email thebandAPPLETREE@gmail.com

The EP
So these past two weeks I have spent hours working on finding a place to print the CD for a good price. Today I have spent two hours working on that and also designing the cover and insert itself. Within the next week and a half I will order the CDs. We may actually just order the packaging and make the CDs ourselves to save money and time. Anyway the product itself will be together soon and then we can start selling once the music is done!

On Saturday the 26th Abby and I got together at my house to record and write parts for another song. We spent four hours writing parts and recording a rough copy. This song is not very complicated but it’s a great song that Abby wrote and agreed to record with APPLE TREE. We will be adding percussion in the final recording that we will do this Saturday as well as record Driving Off a Cliff.

Update on “Raining Horizontally”
The song that I showed you part of a while back will not be on the EP that is getting released, so sorry if you liked what you heard. It was a decent song but it needed to be worked over a lot before being recorded and that is time that we do not have before the EP comes out. There is a chance that it will be finished after we finish up all the other recording and make the CDs but no promises.

Photoshoot and Album Artwork
I have asked for volunteers to help me with my project. Two things I needed done were an album cover and pictures of the band. I asked Jess Morantes to paint a cover and together Abby, Jess, and I were able to come up with an idea of what we wanted and Jess went and painted it for us. The final product is still on its way with script on it but most of the cover is complete and i will post a picture of it up.
The photoshoot for the pictures of the band just happened last Wednesday the 23rd. Jessica Williams took amazing photos for us that will be used on the album and for any promotions that get done. I will post a few of the pictures up here to show some of her amazing work. For promotions I am currently looking for someone who will be willing to make posters for the band. That will be fairly quick to do and simple.
Anyway, exciting news for APPLE TREE!! This project is starting to come together!

Session #2… the outcome
Session number two was a success in the way that we made progress and have another song, but we did not get two songs done because the time we had was shorter than anticipated. The song we got done turned out very well; the accordion in the background is really cool! We only had about two hours to record all the parts which was just enough for that one song. I am working on getting us together again this Saturday the 26th to do the other song. After we do that we only have two more full songs to do and possibly a remix of Overusing the Apocalypse. I am now working on putting together the actual album so we can start selling them as soon as they are done.
