Hi, I'm Jeff from Kekal..
It's been a little while, but lots of things have happened here..
As announced on the previous news, from this point forward, Kekal will have an entirely different approach in recording and composing music.. There will be no more in-studio recording sessions within a specific period involved.. Most, if not all, of the recording process (read: capturing sounds) will be done outside studio walls, and we will work each and every song individually during our spare-times.. There will be no deadline, only when we get enough material for a full-length album, that would be a perfect time to compile the songs together and master that for an album..
Well, we just can't stop to continue working on music.. In fact, Leo is recording some acoustic and jazz guitars now as he's making songs for his solo-project, and I have started with some field-recording using my Portable Digital Recorder, where I capture sounds from many different places and at various degree of atmosphere, then I would transfer them to my laptop, manipulate and arrange them later within a context of a song, then add guitars, vocals and other organic musical instruments as needed.. The kind of approach we use is more in common with current electronic and hip-hop artists than average rock/metal bands.. We can't avoid to use this approach because our circumstances just don't allow us to work on music in a traditional sense..
I believe that music should not be limited by anyone and any circumstance as it is a part of our expression.. You already know and it is proven, that no certain genre can limit what we do.. Now not even studio walls can limit us to record the sounds we want..
In the meantime, feel free to download our 2008 album "Audible Minority" (it's free) at:
http://www.kekal.org/download and order the limited edition Digipak CD as it becomes available.. At this moment we don't know when it will become available.. The status of CD is still on "pre-order" (even 4 months after the official release date).. It's a pity, yes, but it's beyond our control..
Stay tuned with updates.. Please to subscribe to our Blog at MySpace, and also join us on Facebook and interact with the band directly
