#15 - Canada Episode

Sunset Mission goes to Canada to play the Terra Incognita prog festival in Quebec City. The main camera we normally use for filming is having issues, but we were able to compile enough footage with our phones to make a new episode. Includes clips of live, unreleased, Sunset Mission and Kim songs!

P.S. Don't miss Jesse's paper ripping trick at the end ;)

#9 - Kim's Vocal Drone Picks

Well... must of us got Covid but we're back from Covid-land. Symptoms were mild to moderate, but man! It did seem a little endless at times.

Here's a little video about some vocal drones Kim loves to practice to Improve her pitch

#8 - Goshen Vocals, Booking Agents, and UMass

Retracking vocals on our song 'Goshen,' discussing the sometimes frustrating logistics of gigs, agents, and more. Amidst it all, we know that it's simply part of the journey, and brighter days are on the horizon.

 

#7 - Spelunky, Piano, and Towel Whips

Things get pretty goofy around here (and loud). At the same time, we are very serious about the music.

Here is a Spelunky video game adventure, accompanied by Dana learning a new piano part he composed for a new song "In Time I Might Just Learn", going on the new album.

There's also some towel whipping, a well practiced skill amongst Colin and Dana. Let us know if they should make an in-depth towel whipping tutorial!

 

#6 - Mixing and Creepy Whisper Reamps

Here are some reamping adventures for a new song, mixing, and a sneak preview of Dana's new cover of "Stand by Me" (at 6:30) It's a work in progress...


Thanks for your continued support :)

#5 - Allston Full Band Rehearsal

Here is the latest video of us rehearsing for the show and trying to take a band photo, which is never the most seamless of things. But we have new pictures now! New music is also on the horizon, like this riff from a new song we're working on called "August 13th".

Hope you all are doing well!

#4 - Unexplainable Session Problems

Sometimes things go wrong in the studio for no apparent reason, so we just sit there, shocked at the magic and horrors of technology.

This IS the secret sauce! So secret, it almost stayed that way. But we've got the scoop right here! Let us know if you dig these instructionals :)

 

#2 - Forest Slope Guitar and Jesse Vox Rehearsal

Thanks everyone for joining so far! Your support means the world!

Next we have a peek into a vocal practice session with Jesse & Dana, while Colin & Jan learn parts of Forest Slope.

Included here is the random note vocal exercise we made if you want to try it.

You come in beat 2! Hear the note then try to sing it immediately as accurately as possible.
Kim demonstrates it more directly here --> Instagram video

#1 - Colin Bounces the Drum "Meedee

Welcome to the first Episode! Here is Colin trying to bounce the drum MIDI for our unreleased song "Past is Past", and the goofy shenanigans that go on in between the happenings. We can't wait to share more on this page and really go into the album making process!

Please let us know what you'd like to see on here! We already have one request for a studio tour, Dana is planning on doing some metronome exercise demonstrations, and Kim is planning on filming more GoPro vlogs like these.
