Echo's Children CDs are up on Bandcamp

[catsittingstill]

 I've been meaning to make the Echo's Children CDs available on Bandcamp for a while.  I was putting it off because I had a feeling it would be a pain in the neck, but it turned out to be easier than I thought in some ways.  Though it does take about eight hours to upload an album worth of music--an Echo's Children album, at least, since we tended to put around an hour's worth of songs on a CD.  The Echo's Children bandcamp page is here.   For some reason the main page will only display three albums but if you click on any of them, all four albums will be displayed in the sidebar.

This means that Under The Gripping Beast, which had gone out of print, is now available again, if only as downloads.  I'm glad about that.  

Still need to finish designing my recording booth and start actually building, though.  Sigh.  I'm going to try to figure out the ceiling today.  A staggered stud wall is well understood; a staggered joist ceiling, less so, but I think it should work on the same principles.  Plus I'd better make a setlist for FKO and start practicing those particular songs!  This is a good problem to have, but I'd better start working on it; I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone.

Congrats on getting stuff up on Bandcamp! I hope the studio building goes well, I remember your talking about that some time ago.

What I find on the web for acoustically isolating a ceiling is a frame attached to sound dampening ceiling hangars, which attach to the floor joists or rafters. These recommendations come from manufacturers of the hangers, however, so take with a grain of salt. Some sites:
