A Story About Recording Vocals for Bubblegum!

HI!!!!!!!!!!

Ania is here... your true fan and piano chick from GL

Remember one time I promised you to tell how we were recording vocals for Bubblegum? Today is the day!

Well, lots of things in our current recording experience were kinda done a few times, because we were not happy with the way they were coming out first. So this happened with singing for Bubblegum!

Well, the first time i did it and then listened to it, and i was not happy. The vocals did not sound the way i wanted!!! Hm, what kind of secret is here...

Then a few sessions later, after a fun night "Mexican style" with our friends (you know what i mean ;) in the morning we rolled into the studio, sunglasses and everything. And David Ivory is like: alright, time to rerecord the vocals!!! That was a challenge!

WOW!! Of course i felt freshly not fresh and the voice was cracking, but MAN!!! It was so real and i literally felt transported into the Bubblegum world!!! Where we were doing "shady things"!!!!!!! Oh, it was amazing!!!! Also could not stop smiling, that's how STRONG i felt about what was going on!!!

And i just sang about what i felt :))) And! This version MADE it to the song!!!!!!!! A-uu!! That's how we keep in real, singing in front of golden mic (for real, it was golden, DI's special :))))))

All right friends, will let you go to get ready for upcomig Monday!!!

Bubblegum is coming out SOOOONN!!
Cheers!
Ania

The Mix Is Right!

Sun shines bright and it feels snuggy!!

I have been listening to the new mix for BubbleGum all day on repeat... I think this is it!!! I am liking it so much!! It was a long way for the song. After tracking all the parts we spent over a month mixing it. This is the first time it takes so long, because we know exactly how we want the song to sound.

The first time we brought the demo to Dr. David Ivory he diagnosed us with "Demo Love"!!! It's like you love how demo sounds so much and can't get enough of it! It is impossible to replicate it and inevitably a new recording of it will sound different. So being settled on a particular sound the journey began! We wanted the song to transport you into a dreamy world ... And i think we DID IT!!!! Just right!

We are very sorry it is taking us so long. So many people ask: So when Bubblegum will be released?! We can't wait till that moment too!!!!! Just a little more.

This Tuesday we are going back to David Ivory's to work on Holiday, our second single. And we'll finish Bubblegum completely i think. After that we'll master both singles - and!!! YEAH! that will be it! We are not sure how long it will take us to get it on iTunes, that's why we decided to send it to all our friends as soon as we have it ourselves!! Get ready! It's coming out at you!!! As we said it in our video, to everybody who gives us their email we'll send it to!! You can do it right here at our blog, just look for it in the top right corner!!

Thank you, friends for all your support!!! WE HIT 400 views on our second video!! And counting!!! YEAH!!!

Bud says HI!!!!!!

SECRETS!!!

Sincerely, Ania

Back To The Studio For One Day!

It feels so good to be back to the studio!!

Yesterday we went to see David Ivory to discuss our final mix for BubbleGum. We wanted to tweak that final sound we are looking for. So we explored different things, effects on voices, effects on guitars. We really like reverb and delays. And David got all this different gear to experiment with.

It felt so good to see everyBUBBY at the studio! We missed Dave and his jokes... Matt, one of his sound engineers was there too. He was with us through the whole process of recording BubbleGum and Holiday, our two new singes. Later on Ethan, our new guitar and bass player, came by. SO FUN!! By the way, originally we met Ethan at the studio, he is one of David Ivory's interns!

Gotta be fate that everything worked out this way and now Ethan is in the band. David and Matt feel like family, and studio feels like home ) yeah! Home of Bubblegum!

We realize ( and it's a little sad) that it was one of the last sessions for now... And now we need to spread our wings and fly!

Tonight Dan will be playing drums at the Puck in Doylestown instead of Chuck Treece (wow), cause Chuck is on tour with the Lemonheads ;) it will b cool!

Al right, enjoy this WARM lovely a lil wet weather! And keep on chewing Bubblegum!

By The Sea

Hello, midnight friend!!!

Ania here, looking at the stars and writing this at midnight :)

Again I am escaping to see the ocean and to visit my surf board (well, not mine, but A Surfboard!!) It is so quiet here, and peaceful.  A long warm walk along the beach watching the sunset - WOW! and this little poem came to my mind and it is so PERFECT, every word.

Written by a great Russian Poet Mikhail Lermontov

Here it is in Russian:

ПАРУС

Белеет парус одинокой
В тумане моря голубом!..
Что ищет он в стране далекой?
Что кинул он в краю родном?..

Играют волны - ветер свищет,
И мачта гнется и скрыпит...
Увы! он счастия не ищет
И не от счастия бежит!

Под ним струя светлей лазури,
Над ним луч солнца золотой...
А он, мятежный, просит бури,
Как будто в бурях есть покой!

1832


Although the way in sounds in Russian is so beautiful, there is a translation of it in English:

A sail gleams in foggy morning
A lonely stranger in the sea
What left it in its homeland distant?
In alien parts what does it seek?

The waves are swelling, wind is whistling
The mast is bending with a creak
It isn't happiness it's seeking
And not the happiness it flees

The stream beneath as bright as azure
Above the Sun sends golden rays...
And yet for storm it begs, the rebel,
As if in storm lurked calm and peace!..

1832

Bermuda. Paradise...

Today again we jammed with Ethan! We can not wait till showing you guys the NEW Glen Landing.  Thank you, the stars for lining up this perfect way for us! Feeling so inspired and happy.

Sneak Peek : A Photo Shoot for Cover of Bubble Gum!!

This was so exciting!!!! I could not stop smiling all the time!!! It was so much fun!

So yesterday was our photo shoot for the cover of our new single!

First our friend and amazing stylist Jen Eberwein of Chrismon Hair Studio in Philly did our hair. She sprinkled some magic over my hair and created this 60s inspired romantic hairstyle that instantly created mood for the photo shoot! Dan was spotted rocking out a new hairdo as well, looking pretty hot.

The studio was awesome! Our photographer John L Langsford III was so professional and inspirational. He brilliantly directed the shoot. We took some portfolio pictures and pictures we are going to use for the cover. It is all about bright colors and feeling happy and amused! I think the cover will look delicious. A little hint: it will include a Bubble Gum tree!!!!!!!!!

WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER

WORK IT DAN!!!

Thank you for stopping by!! Please leave comments and ask us questions if you have any!!!
I hope it will be warm soon and all of a sudden palm trees will start growing everywhere in New Jersey!!!!

Behind The Scenes: Video Shoot Number 1!

What's up People?!

Hope you had SMASHING holidays!!

Well, today is Russian Christmas Eve.... In Russian it is called Sochelnyk. It is like this due to the 13-day difference between the newer Gregorian, and older Julian Calendars.

Merry Russia Christmas!!!!

We were celebrating it by having our FIRST video shoot of the series "Behind the Bubble Gum" that will take you though our adventure of composing, writing, recording, and releasing of our new single Bubble Gum!

Our location was pretty cool: on the bank of river Delaware, standing on South Jersey soil and overlooking Philadelphia!! Yeah , i am pointing right at the skyline of the city!!

Oh hi, Tiny Philly!!

 Dan was taking a role of a videographer!! He loves his new camera and it does amazing things i have to say... He takes very cereal and i can not horse around with that thing in my hand!! LOL!

 Dan taking some footage of a plane flying right along the river, it is very cool. The Philadelphia airport is to the lest, and you can watch planes one by one landing and taking off.... Somewhere somebody is going on a lovely amazing adventure...

So CEREAL :]

 This place is very nice and interesting. The River is huge, and have waves like a small sea...

Getting things together !!!

So very soon we'll post our first video where we'll be talking a little bit about what's going on !!
Stay tuned!!!

Thank you for being with us,
Sincerely, your Ania

Teamwork Means Success

   Hello to all in this beautiful world!  Its Dan here reporting Glen Landing's first blog post of the new year.  And also this would be my first ever.  Anna has been doing an amazing job  figuring out all of these cool ways and outlets to help us spread the word of our little band.  When i mean little I mean its only me and Anna.  I was told that I could write whatever i want so here we go.  My first rant is going to be about Teamwork.

   Sometimes its difficult in a once fully artistic setting of writing and jamming songs to start mixing in business principles that artist don't really respond to.  Most people in bands traditionally are artists, but with the oh so changing entertainment industry  forces us to wear hats we usually would not.  I wouldn't wear this hat Anna has on for example.  With all the social media outlets for a band to engulf themselves, it seems that if your not using these tools then you are just not using your brain properly.  I generally do not use mine properly, hence my first blog post, but that's part of the reason your reading this.  There is always a team behind success and I am proud to be on team ANNA!  In any team situation someone has to be willing to do the work and someone has to have a fully operational brain for it to work.  Plan and Strategie, Seek and Destroy that is our M.O. right now.  There is not a plan B.  

     We are hunkered down and making our plans now for this upcoming year and they are big plans, cause u know it is time for the invasion of Glen Landing.  We have come so far from the begining and we now  have the confidence from our peers that we have a marketable product.  We are in constant thought of asking questions like how can we, when should we, or who should we, and so on... 

   So with any successful business venture we need the help and guidance of all willing parties and at all times.  If you have any ideas of things that we should be doing or something we arn't doing right, please enlighten us with your information.  We are sponges that take it all in and appreciate the time and effort of all the people that help us out.  If have so much more to say....Stay tuned for more blog post by us Dan singer/guitarist/drums and Anna pianoandbass/singer. Love u world  PS please get warm i am freezing in south jersey!!
