Completed the last 5 scores for The Myth of Sisyphus today. 3 days work for this is a good result. None are completely perfect (though many are extremely detailed, such as an 11-part score for 'The Invisible Man') but all are hugely better than none at all. Most people who finish such a job get paid or some other reward. Artists must merely hope that their work will be useful to or appreciated by someone in future. I do this for a sense of completion, and because any possible live performance is much easier with the sheet music. Also, it allows others to play or sing the songs.
In a first week of work on the remaster, all vocals and all sheet music is complete, a good result. The next big task is simple lyric videos for all tracks. I've checked all tracks today, comparing with the older ones for technical errors. Silences of over one second will switch-off a track to save processing time, which is a big issue for sounds that fade in very slowly. This was a feature of Prometheus from the beginning but, amazingly, I didn't test it and it didn't work until v2.69 on 2 April 2021, so all earlier albums or tracks may have fade-in issues.
I still need to mix the tracks (this is largely done, but I'll need a quiet day to check it all), and master everything to a modern volume level. That, and those videos, which are optional, but would, I think, boost listenership. The most important jobs of new (much better) vocals and the sheet music are now done.
Onwards we roll our heavy rock.
