Unfortunate News, and Happy Holidays

Well, unfortunately, my album is not going to be released when I want it to, so I've missed my first cut deadline. No big problem though, because it will be out before January 28th. Happy Holidays everyone, and some brighter news to follow. I am performing at the Court Tavern in New Brunswick on January 9th, so please come out and see!

Recording News

Good news everyone, I have rough recordings of all of my songs now! My checklist is looking emptier now, I only need to write/record the instrumental trailer song, and edit and add keyboard and Launchpad to my other songs. The album is looking like this now:

1. Unnamed Instrumental Piece
2. Goddess of Creation
3. Jacks and Knives
4. Refugees Among Islands
5. Ocean of Fear
6. Sky's Fire/Devil's Road
7. Summerset

I'm looking forward to the release, as well as the trailer for my film that the album is the soundtrack for. In other news, I'm still looking for more shows to do, both for myself and for Giant Dinosaur, so yay for me.

Activities for the Album and Other News

So, I think I'm going to write a sort of daily briefing for everything I do for my showcase. This post is a day late, but I was side-tracked by essay writing. Well, anyways:

I had started work on my record label, now titled "Winter's Tale Records." I plan to sign my other band, Giant Dinosaur onto it as well. I also recorded a fresh guitar part to "Sky's Fire/Devil's Road," a song I don't think I've really shown off much. My recording progress is going well, as I now have rough recordings of most of my songs. My filming progress is also going well, now I'm only missing two days of film.

The first deadline is coming up December 28th, and I'll have to work extra hard to make it work.

Bye now

News and Updates

You thought I was gone huh? Well, I'm not... yet. At any rate, I would be making videos if I didn't have work surrounding me entirely, that and my Flip is in Spain right now. In other news, Giant Dinosaur finished their concert on th 23rd of October, and now have a demo CD up in last.fm. We also now have a new member, and we've had our first rehearsal with him. We may start working on an album soon, but that's still debatable.
In other other news, my solo project will be showcased in the upcoming 2010 Senior Showcase in a series of short music videos. I now have a Launch pad, so expect some new and different sounds. I will also be signing up for the Late Night Series November 20th as a solo artist, and I may have a song on t he launch pad to demonstrate, so expect rejoicing!

Updates and Concert Date

It's been awhile, but I'm back with updates! We have some new songs on videos, if you haven't seen them already. We haven't recorded new videos of our songs just yet, apologies. We have been busy rehearsing for our first official concert at the Middlesex County Votec. We finally have a date for it now, so that's fun. October 23rd, we have a concert at MCVTS at 7;00 PM. Tickets are free, of course, the address is:

112 Rues Ln. East Brunswick, NJ, 08904.

Come if you like, We'll be playing a collection of original songs and covers, as if that's an original concept.

Until then

Back from the Journey, and Less Than 2 Weeks From Home

As the title no doubt informed you, Javispa has concluded his Roman Theatre Tour. It was a blast, though Javispa is quite tired now. Nothing much more to say other than I will be returning home in less than 2 weeks (13 days to be exact). Javispa will be back in the USA, where all sorts of craziness will no doubt ensue.

That's all for now

Updates on song videos

Ok, so, now that I've gotten a few videos on to Reverb Nation, and the good Dan Baker has set up a Myspace, I've decided to do a re-recording of the Giant Dinosaur songs we have, a more professional looking one, with the band there to make the sound better (I hope the speakers can take us). But yes, I plan to do new videos of the following:

Summerset
Crane Wife 3
Goddess of Creation
Jacks and Knives

Now, do not fret, I won't take the old videos down, so you can still have our early days of performing. That's all for right now, look to next morning, where I will review the place I'm staying in., seeya

Update from Mula

Hello lovely viewers, all 4 of you, this is Javispa. I'm gonna be giving a few new updates from yesterday's blog, since I didn't really have much time to.

First up on the block: Travel

Javispa's Roman Tour has encountered a bit of a problem, and our trip to Granada has been cancelled, the tour is still ongoing, we will now be heading to Corpoba instead. We will be taking a ferry as well, and heading to Africa. More details to come.

Second item on the list: Other things that I promised on my Youtube channel.

Yes, that's right, my Youtube channel is still going to have politics and reviews, I've just been Spain, and a tad busy. I predict to do a review perhaps on my return from Spain, and political issues as well, don't worry all 2 of you who care to know, I haven't forgotten.

Anyways, I'm running out of time now, so until next time, farewell everyone!

A Blogger and a Vlogger

Welcome to Javispa's Official Blog of travel, music, and everything else I've promised to do on my youtube channel. I'm sitting in a restaurant in Sacunta and I just had ice cream (Nata and Strawberry). I would begin by giving some music updates, and I'll give any blogging viewers a sneak peek of Giant Dinosaur's upcoming concert. Though the date is unconfirmed, but the set list is as follows:

In other music news, Javispa is going to be uploading two new songs! "Jacks and Knives" (a rough work of the song is up), and "Scarlett on the Sea." These will be up shortly, and they should be pretty neat. Javispa is also announcing his new music project, to do a recorded performance of "The Tain," an 18 minute epic by the Decemberists, on a guitar only. A tough challenge, but look for the videos soon. I also returned from doing a miniature concert outside in the plaza. I was paid 80 cents for my services, so a good job there. My concert was:

O Valencia! (The Decemberists)
Summerset (Giant Dinosaur)
Cape Canaveral (Conor Oberst)
Record Year (The Decemberists)
Goddess of Creation (Giant Dinosaur)
The Seer's Tower (Sufjan Stevens)
We Both Go Down Together (The Decemberists)
Angels and Angles (The Decemberists)
Jacks and Knives (Giant Dinosaur)
The Crane Wife 3 (The Decemberists)
Viva la Vida (Coldplay)

In the travel world, as you have no doubt read, Javispa is touring the south of Spain in his "Roman Theatre Tour." This tour lasts for 7 days, and includes music performed by Giant Dinosaur's Javier Aladren. That's all the time we have today, so until next time, farewell!
