Update number 3 on the progress of Atish Bezanesh (Bailatela)- End of July 2010



I post an update note here whenever there is some progress or delay with my first Farsi song, recording and release: آتیش بزنش (Bailatela).

Previous updates can be read in: previous post 1 and
Previous post 2 .

Today I recorded final versions of electric guitar on the recording. It was a headache, because one thing is to play guitar live, another thing is to do it for a studio recording. This is because in a studio recording your fingers cannot touch any other string as it must sound clean. This is something I had not thought of before.

It will not be until end of October 2010 before the recording becomes available. Here is the past and future scheduled work for the project:

Things done in the past:
- Decided the key to use for the song and the chord progressions.
- Gathered some material for the lyrics
- Wrote the song (End of May 2010)

- Track setup and layout for definitive recording
