Make A Rising

Hello to any and all who even look at websites anymore. Also to any and all who keep their antennae out for obscure indie prog bands that have been largely inactive for 10 years.

The major update is that we have been rehearsing at Justin’s house in Los Angeles every week for about a year or more. We are very close to having a set of music to play live. We have 9 members. We also have an Instagram. This will be the best way to know when we’ll have new stuff happening.

Thanks for waiting. This song took us 5 years to finish. We never played it live. I started writing it when I moved to Los Angeles, and kept tweaking it until the last minute. It’s basically a journal of my various emotional states since relocating. Hope you dig this 9 1/2 minute beast.

It sounds better on headphones IMHO. Download both songs on our BANDCAMP page

Two new songs! “I Forgot to Shave” and “On”.

This is a segment from a new song called “I Forgot To Shave”

Flying out to Philadelphia tomorrow to mix 4 new songs for the Wounded Fhealer Series.

This is from a track called “Growing” that we’ll be mixing at the end of August. It features an Oberheim DX drum machine that became an interesting necessity, due to our drummer living on the opposite coast.

I literally just finished recording a new song for Make A Rising. The song is called “growing”. I’ve been working on it for what seems like 2 years. There are 3 other songs that will be completed and mixed by the end of August.

We’ll be mixing at least one new track in July. As well as mixing the soundtrack we’re composing for our Cartoon Hangover pilot. It’s called Manly. It will air on July 31st. You can check out the tumblr here.

Again sorry for the delay. We are very close to having a bunch of new songs coming down the pipeline. It’s just a matter of finding the time.

The first two tracks of the Wounded Fhealer Series have been posted on our BANDCAMP page. Free to download. Here’s some more information:

The Wounded Fhealer Series is Make A Rising’s latest project of releasing one or two tracks at a time, for free, until all 15 planned tracks are completed.

Once completed, the tracks will be re-sequenced with possible remixing/remastering and additional arrangements, for purchase in limited vinyl form.

The vinyl release will be called “WOUNDED FHEALERS”.

These songs stem from 6 years of working through the emotional difficulty of ended relationships, and the pursuit of spiritual breakthrough.

*Please feel to pay any amount for a track, if you’d like to support this long term project. All proceeds go to helping us pay for mixing and mastering the next pair of songs.
