Digital Tragedy strikes Euphonic Dissonance

Brian brings terrible news from inside the Euphonic Dissonance recording studio.

Somehow we have lost the multi-track master for the song Black & White. It's our tribute song to David Bowie referencing his popular 1969 song Space Oddity . In our song Major Tom finally returns to earth after some 30 years in space.

Yesterday I was going to remaster this particular track only to find out I couldn't find it on the harddrive. After feverishly searching our database I've determined that it just doesn't exist anymore. Probably a simple user error that accidentally deleted the file. The last time the file had been accessed was way back in 2007 and our back-up only goes back one year.

What does this all mean? Well, we obviously have the original finished song or I wouldn't have been able to post it into this blog for your listening pleasure. However, it's the original Sonar files that have been deleted so now we have no way of fixing the mix, changing vocals or editing guitar parts. Looks like this on the computer -



It gives us the ability to manipulate each individual part of the song and in the case of "Black & White" we can no longer do that.

ALL IS NOT LOST!!! This has been a lesson in learning to let go and understanding how to work with what we still have. We still have the basic music bed that contains the drums and probably bass part of the song. Someday we'll be able to build on that and basically recreate the song. Also, before the tracks were lost we created a live mix so we will be able to perform this song in our live shows. It is a setback but it will not stop us from completing the TECH MESSIAH album and we will continue forward with our stage show plans. We'll just have to come back to "Black & White" later and when we do I imagine it will sound quite different so enjoy this mix while you can because it's the only one like it in existence.

The crying is over and we move on. Thanks for being such supportive fans. We love you all.

Geek and Gamer Girls - we love you!!!

The Admiral Twin Drive-In Theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma burns and TMZ gets the story

Brian of Euphonic Dissonance gives us news on the loss of the historic ADMIRAL TWIN DRIVE-IN in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

TMZ gave the Admiral Twin Drive-In the press attention it needed after fire destroyed this historic landmark where the 1983 movie THE OUTSIDERS (starring Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, and Diane Lane) was filmed. Okay, it was really TMZ.com - but that's still amazing. This may be the best publicity this old theater gets - so make sure you go to the blog and post a comment showing your support for the Historic Admiral Twin Drive-In. Here's the blog entry...

Movie Theater Playing 'Last Exorcism' Burns Down

A drive-in movie theater in Oklahoma burned down yesterday -- was it arson, a freak accident or the work of ... the devil?



See, this Tulsa landmark -- The Admiral Twin, which opened in 1951 -- was playing "The Last Exorcism." It was also playing "Predators," but those aren't real -- so we can rule them out as a suspect.

Bill French, Tulsa Fire Department public information officer, told the Tulsa World on Friday night that investigators were still not sure how the blaze started.

TMZ contacted the Tulsa Fire Department to see if they suspected a demon, someone possessed by a demon or even Satan himself had something to do with the blaze.

So far, no response.

There are several comments on said blog from NATIVE TULSANS who seem to be upset that TMZ would poke fun at such a tragic situation. HELLO PEOPLE - it's TMZ for god's sake!!!??? That's what they do!!! They make fun of stuff. Try to use the blog for something positive you nimrods!!! If you're so upset about your precious tulsa landmark burning to the ground then you had better post a link where people can go to help save this much missed landmark. Something like this...

DONATE TO REBUILD THE ADMIRAL TWIN ON PAYPAL

or .... if you're in tulsa and want to hear some live and help the devastated drive-in - then you should go to this. Click the pic for a full size flyer.



Keep up the great work TMZ. It may have been a tragic event for those of us that live here but I've got to admit - your blog was very funny. Just keep doing what you do best. Tulsa will heal with time.
