Shooting rock videos

Hello again everyone!

Recently Fear Zero shot a couple of rock videos for release with our CD in the (hopefully) near future.  I just wanted to talk about the experience, maybe destroy a few myths and let you know what it is really like.

We have shot 4 videos now bearing the Fear Zero name.  If you are a fan you have only seen one of those so far and there is a reason.  Shooting a video is a bit of an art.  On top of trying to capture the essence of the song in the form of a storyline, you have to also capture the image that the band is trying to project.  If you are doing the videos independently like we do, that can be a real challenge considering the fact that most videos you see on VH1/Muchmusic cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Whole Damn Nation nearly completed!

Hey everyone, it has been a while so hello!  I have been extremely busy recording but also working (any musician without a day job these days is a poor musician lol!)

After many all nighters and thousands of dollars, I am happy to say that “Whole Damn Nation” is nearly finished.  Right now we are in the mastering stage where all the levels and equalization get evened out.

The last recording session was an all night one, just me and my guitar in a studio somewhere in North Surrey from 10pm to 7am.  It was an awful night and here is why:

“Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!”

Below is a solo I wrote called Octane which may be on the new CD. I recorded it quite a while ago and next week I will post a video of me playing it. This is a demo and will be re-recorded should we decide to put it on the new CD.

I wrote this after a request from one of Fear Zero’s managers that I do something to “prove” what I can do on guitar. It was a real pain to record and is probably the most demanding thing I have had to play guitar-wise. The influences are pretty obvious; Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen and a bit of Eric Johnson.

Making an independent rock CD – budgets.

Hey there.  Here I am on a cloudy Thursday morning in Vancouver.  I have been doing a lot of research lately on the budget for the new Fear Zero CD.  Well, technically it is not a fully “new” CD since we are only going to record 4 new tracks but as you will see, even this small of an amount of music costs big $$!

The first Fear Zero CD I made on money I had saved up teaching music for 4 years.  Throw in a credit line with a lot of favors and some lucky breaks as well as studio time late at night and voila, you have the first Fear Zero CD!
