“Believe” Music Video

Video 4 Comments

Back in 2008 and 2009 when Lovespirals were creating their 4th album, Future Past, the band captured some behind-the-scenes moments during the songwriting, recording, and production process — as well as time spent at various beaches in their native Southern California to recharge their creative batteries. “Believe” was filmed by Anji and Ryan, and edited together by Anji.

Lovespirals Live Practice Video

Leave a comment

In preparation for the big Lovespirals and Karmacoda Harlot Happy Hour show coming up this Friday in San Francisco, Ryan and Anji have spent a lot of time selecting and arranging a half hour set of songs to perform. Over the weekend the duo tried playing the set using both an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar. The band have done shows either way, and they each have their merits. Anji captured some footage from a few of these practice sessions and put it up on the Lovespirals Facebook Group and Official Lovespirals You Tube Account. Figured we should post it here, as well! Lovespirals haven’t performed live since 2006 – and they haven’t played the San Francisco area since 2002 – so if you’re in the area, you really should come check it out!

Anji @ CD Pre-Launch Listening Party

Leave a comment

You may have heard about Lovespirals’ exclusive little pre-launch CD listening party from band Tweets or the latest episode of Chillin’ with Lovespirals (#70), but if not it was a small get together with a few San Francisco friends to both celebrate the completion of Future Past and to get some feedback on album. The party took place at the same groovy Victorian flat where the album photos were taken, which you can hear more about in Chillin’ with Lovespirals #64. Anyway, Ryan captured some video of Anji showing off the party spread moments before their guests arrive.

This video was originally posted to the Lovespirals Facebook page. Come add yourself as a fan!

Have You Heard? (Xtranormal Vid)

Leave a comment

Have you seen the Xtranormal site yet? It allows you to select from various characters and backgrounds — including your choice of gender and language — then animate them using various actions and expressions. Type in what you want them to say and how you want them to say it — even choose which camera angle — and the site turns your script into an animated video. It is way too fun! I had heard of it somewhere, but once I saw it in action – via a video by Ryan Coseboom of Stripmall Architecture, I knew I had to try it out. I hope you get a good chuckle out of it and hey, feel free to repost! Without further ado, may we present the comic ad for our upcoming new CD, Future Past, entitled, “Have You Heard?”

“Is Lovespirals that old Goth band?” “No. They are so not Goth.”

Lovespirals In-Studio #6: CD Mastering

1 Comment

Ambient music legend/mastering engineer Robert Rich explains the basics of mastering Lovespirals’ new album, Future Past, at his Soundscape Studio in Mountain View California. Ryan and Anji listen on as Robert demonstrates how he uses Apple’s Logic Studio, Izotope mastering software, and audio dithering to give each track its best possible sound. Robert also mastered Lovespirals’ 2002 release Windblown Kiss and 2007’s Long Way From Home. But the band was pleased to hear Robert say that the mixes “nailed it” this time, leaving him just enough room to creatively add a magic sparkle to the album. The result is the best sounding Lovespirals album by far; achieving a true big studio sound from their much more modestly equipped home studio.

Anji of Lovespirals In-Studio Video #5

The band return with yet another in-studio video! This time Ryan and Anji are in a vocal session for the chorus of new song, “One Of Those Days,” from their upcoming 4th album, Future Past. Anji is a little stuck on how best to do the harmony in the first chorus, trying to choose between two melody lines. This video gives you a different view into the new Lovespirals studio, including glimpses of Ryan’s amps and speakers and some of his guitar collection. Yes, some. Look forward to the next video, where Ryan points out that a 3-part harmony is not a good idea for this Dorian mode song…

Ryan of Lovespirals In-Studio Video #4

Leave a comment

In this minute-plus in-studio video, Ryan Lum performs bass for the new Lovespirals song, “Sinking.” As mentioned in a previous episode of the band’s podcast, Chillin’ with Lovespirals, he is – in fact – shirtless. Perhaps more interesting (or not), is the fact that this song had the bass and drums added after completing a vocal and guitar based recording. After listening to all of the song for the new album together as a group, the band decided this song needed to be expanded a bit. The results of added instrumentation are quite striking! Perhaps you’ll get to hear a bit of the original version in another video or podcast? Lovespirals 4th album, Future Past, is due out this November.
