[NOTICE!]

HOUSE OF TEARS! ON SALE NOW! 10 DOLLARS SHIPPED!

REAL paranormal music! Using EVP from the graveyards of New Jersey and Philadephia! Symphonic horror with real ghosts...

In 2004 Rue Morgue Magazine raved about The Terror Cycle, upstart orchestral project Dark Asylum’s first venture into the Halloween Market.

Malice, Dark Asylum’s 2006 follow up retained the orchestral ambiance and neoclassical harmonies of The Terror Cycle and pushed the Goth-Orchestral genre into new territory. In 2004, Dark Asylum pioneered the use of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon, also known as Paranormal Audio Recordings) into professional Haunted Attraction market.

House of Tears marks a conscious return to the Giallo and Splatter soundtracks which lie at the heart of modern horror mythos. Drawing inspiration from Fulci standard Fabio Frizzi and the various incarnations of Goblin, House of Tears elicits a nostalgic sense of horror. Loosely based on the narrative of Mark Z. Danielewski's enigmatic epic House of Leaves, Dark Asylum's House of Tears serves as a soundtrack to madness, death and paradox. While the EVP took a back seat to dynamics, House of Tears offers the most mature and engaging incarnation of Dark Asylum's efforts.

Michael Pallante, the principal composer behind Dark Asylum, holds a degree in musicology from Rutgers University and has been producing music for nearly a decade. He does orchestration and production for many Philadelphia area bands and enjoys paranormal research in his spare time- Including capturing EVP and manifestations in his local Haddonfield New Jersey, where he has resided for the past 9 years.

Well we do have mics for each drum but we have to condense it all into the 8 track on 1 but you know I think we will just try seperate inputs for each on that and then mix it down to one and possibly cut out the mixer altogether...but throwing an extra track of kick over that sounds like an idea worth trying thank you :)

That sounds awesome! If we could isolate each drum before putting them all to one track it would make a huge difference...but what would you have to do record directly into the computer one drum at a time?

Sep 22 2008 4:58 AM

Wait I reread that so you can actually just record it all and put it on a disc then break it down with the program?
