Rock Opera / Concept Album: The Picasso Album (working title)

[T.C. Elliott]

Was just wondering where we were with this. I've done another mix for 'Self Portrait' with a subtle change in vox.

I was gone almost all of February, so hoping I didn't miss anything.

Word on the street is that the last 2 songs are presently in the works.

Actually, I have a new mix of my song that I need to post, as well.

And I was working on the album cover, with some "liner notes" or whatever the digital equivalent is.  I hope to get that done before the other songs are done.

Is this actually finished now? My machine is suffering! I was reminded by a spider.

I guess the question is..... will there be 2 more tracks to fill out the opera?

The two tracks in question are:

• Young Girl Reading - I believe this was to be done by ACA and Redler.
• Salomé - I believe this was to be done by cuthbert.

I don't know the current status. Were these songs abandoned or are they still expected at some point? I think FuzzFace should know, or he can find out.

ACA did some attemts to the vocals on "Young girl reading" but was never satified with them herself. Then she moved to London, and tho she's got an mbr with her she have still to complete it. I think Redler asked Kaisa to step in, but I'm not sure of the status.

These 2 tracks never materialized, for one reason or another (see Geir's explanation above for Young Girl Reading; I worked with cuthbert revising the lyrics a bit for Salomé, then we decided to go with the original lyrics, then other things came up...)

To me, these 2 are like deleted scenes.  It would be a bonus to include them however the story is complete as far as I am concerned without them.

Now that I am looking at it, Salomé is superfluous in the sense that it repeats ideas already stated in other songs.  Young Girl Reading does offer an important thematic contribution -- as well as the inclusion of a female vocal -- however the lyrics could stand to be polished.

In either case, if the original participants would like to follow through, or if someone else would like to take up one of them, that would be cool... but if that were the case, I would want to take another pass at the lyrics before setting them in stone.
