Night Heir is in the Studio

Last week, Night Heir officially began recording drums for the second album: A Maze Of Evenings.

The majority of the work on WIMDMIMH was done alone, which was no easy task I can assure you. This next one is decidedly a much larger and more daunting undertaking. Thankfully, this time around, the creative source-point has expanded threefold so far. Sam Rosenberg has already helped significantly to flesh out the entire writing process and now as we set in to record we are thrilled to have enlisted Andi Diluvian:

The home recording studio formerly known as The Clearing has now been rebuilt and expanded by Andi into a space we are calling The Bough House.

I will put up some imagery and some more words, perhaps, as the recording develops.

Wheels Are Turning

There is plenty of news.
Night Heir has expanded to a two-piece, absorbing the talents of one Samuel Rosenberg (Deconditioned, Scaphism, Antikythera)
We have been amassing a daunting amount of material for a new full length release.
It will be called A Maze of Evenings.
It will be completed in the year of Twenty Twelve, so help me God.
It would be wondrous to see this project made capable of performing live and therefore
Night Heir needs more help and is looking to incorporate a drummer and keyboardist/percussionist/auxiliary instrumentalist.
If you are one or any of these things living in the Portland area and you are interested in contributing to this music then you must email us at NightHeirContact@Gmail.com

The Cover

I've just recently been finishing up the design work for the entire packaging of this Night Heir recording. Here are some smaller res versions of the front and back covers. (You can still click them for larger images) The painting on the front is by one of my all time favorites Edmund Dulac. It is a 1909 illustration for The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The color and tone of this image sing to me and the hooded figure strongly recalls a similar apparition from the painting the Isle of the Dead by Arnold Böcklin -an image that completely informed one of the songs on the record.

Böcklin actually painted several versions of this same image but this, the original from 1880, remains the starkest and most powerful for me.
