More on THE SEVERED SOUNDTRACK


The Severed Soundtrack - So much work still to get done. As far as the audio portion of the project, which consist of 12 songs, we're almost halfway through.

The original intentions for the soundtrack was to be a 'rough-demo' to accompany the screenplay if and when a prodco or agent became interested. then the soundtrack would possibly get rearranged, re-recorded to professional standards having the actual actors doing the singing.

The new intention is to now re-do the project to a more professional level on our own - mastering and all. So the band, period comma, has been back in the Black Smile Studio getting in total sync with the click track and making every beat count - as opposed to counting the beats. They have several more tunes to do until the really tough part - the vocals. period comma moves at lightening speed so there's no telling what's going to happen when none of the vocalists is a mismatch for the key... hmmm.

Anyway - the cover art will have the same theme as the image* here. There'll be new photography and more believable sfx. This 'holding hands' picture relates the underlying theme of the screenplay which deals with 2 calc geeks in their mid -20's, deciding to get revenge on the girls who made fun of them in high school by axing them - real nice. Anyway the title of the movie, well now soundtrack, is not referring to those victims, but rather the victims of severed relationships - parental and love interest. Both killers have this missing in their lives which may explain the totally uncool way they are dealing with a problem that resulted from nothing other than being kids.

Anyway - enough for now. More tomorrow.

A Rumor Release - Soundtrack Written for No Movie

That's right... 'No Movie'. Paul JM (that's me) has also, well rumor has it, been working on a musical; a screenplay with songs that are sung by the characters. Picture The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Now the only difference here is that this horror/comedy screenplay titled THE SEVERED, isn't as good - so, Paul (me) has decided to move forward to record the soundtrack using various singers for the characters and release it privately.

The backline band is 'period comma' (www.myspace.com/periodcomma) and it is being recorded at Black Smile Studio in Stamford, CT.

The title of the cd will be 'The Severed Soundtrack'... yes, there is no bounds for the imagination at Stutterdot.

Cover art is in the works and will be posted when the concept is complete.
