Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
Theo was recording the last instrumental track of the last song of his album.
He was playing the drums with skilled hands.
Before Theo started recording the songs for his album, he took some time to learn some instruments.
And the drums were one of these instruments.
When finished learning it, his skills in it could be compared to a professional player.
But after playing drums for almost one month during the recording of his album, Theo noticed that became better and better at it.
Actually, in every other instrument that he learned also showed the same improvement.
Guitar, bass, drums, acoustic guitar, and so on.
It was a nice surprise for Theo when he realized that.
Now he could say with certainty that he was a knowledgeable person about music.
He knew the theory and the practice.
Suddenly, Theo stopped playing the drums when he received the ok from Sylph that the track was recorded.
He got out of the recording room and sat in front of his computer.
This was the last instrumental track.
That meant that he could start editing the song.
Obviously, there were no vocal tracks, but he did not need the vocals to start editing the song.
When he finished editing the song would be 90% ready.
Most labels did this process, they recorded the instrumental part first, and afterward, they edited it.
And then it was the singer's turn to record the vocal track, the singer would listen to the song with only the instruments, and he/she would record the vocals as they heard the instrumental song.
This was made to facilitate the singer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was much harder to sing without listening to the song.
But because that was not a problem for Theo, he recorded the vocals of his first 9 songs without listening to the instrumental songs.
However, Aurora would have a problem if she did that.
She was too new in music, to be as skilled as Theo.
Theo received his singing skill from the system, so it was obvious that he did not find it difficult to do that.
That's one of the reasons that he said to Aurora that they would record the vocals on the weekend.
By doing that, Theo would be able to finish the instrumental song for Aurora to listen to as she recorded her vocals.
Theo started recording this song as soon as he arrived home from the restaurant yesterday.
When he had his idea to make an animation for the 'Believer' music video yesterday, Theo sprang into action.
He contacted Ayia and asked her to contact Theo and propose to him and his crew to shoot the 'Save Your Tears' music video as soon as possible.
He wanted to have all the footage of that music video on Sunday.
Because it was then that he would edit the music video AND the song that was the theme for the music video.
Sunday would be the only day that Theo would have free to edit these things, that's why he gave the production crew such a short deadline.
But he could not make any other different decisions.
He also was racing against time to finish everything before December 24th.
Theo also told Ayia the day that he would release the album, and she told him that she already contacted the Track Streaming Service's Management Team.
Moonlight already had an artist account on the platform.
On Tuesday, Ayia would send the complete album to them together with the copyright documents of the songs.
They would verify the songs and the documents, and when the day of the release arrived, the album would be released on the platform.
Now, if Theo was a normal artist without any contacts, he would have to wait at least one week before his album passed the inspection.
But Ayia had a friend from college who worked in the management team of the Track platform.
So, she called her friend, and just like that, Moonlight's album would be inspected in only one day.
There was no doubt that Theo's album would be released on December 24th.
The only doubt that Theo had was if he would be able to finish the 'Believer' music video before the release of his album.
That's why he decided to sleep only two hours every day until the release of the album.
Even though that would take a strain on his body, he did not think it would be hard for him to do that.
He had a very healthy and strong body capable of doing that without much trouble.
Last night he already put into practice this new routine.
He only went to sleep at 3 in the morning and woke up at 5 am.
He only slept 2 hours last night.
But it was not without results, he finished recording the instrumental tracks before lunch.
And he had until the time he had to go to the restaurant to finish editing the tracks.
He wanted to finish this song that same day.
That way he could focus on the development of his animated music video.
Theo didn't even have lunch that day.
He was too focused on editing the song that he forgot about it.
But he got results.
When it was 3:45 PM, Theo showed a bright smile on his face.
"Finally!" He exclaimed as he sighed in relief.
The instrumental 'Save Your Tears' song was ready!
That meant that 99% of Theo's music album was ready.
He and Aurora only needed to record the vocals, and these vocals would be added to the instrumental song, then the album would be finished!
Just one step left before he finished this project.
Theo just stayed quiet for a while.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had placed so much effort into this album.
Now he was more than ever excited about the release.
He looked at the time, and when he saw what time it was, he stood up and walked out of the studio.
He had to get ready to go to the restaurant.
Even after knowing that every second counted during the next days, Theo still went to the restaurant.
He would miss his cooking time no matter what.
If this music album was Theo's baby project.
The restaurant was his first baby project.
The firstborn project became a successful one.
The time that he spent at the restaurant cooking was therapeutical to him.
There he could forget about all the problems.
His mind would enter the automatic mode.
He felt that if he did not work at the restaurant constantly, he would become tenser.
Plus, he was confident he would be able to finish the animated music video even if he had to work some nights at the restaurant.
Theo started getting ready, but his mind was somewhere else.
He was thinking about the plot of the animated music video.
The simple way to explain the plot was that it would be a fighting animation.
But Theo wanted the animation to tell a story.
He wanted the viewers to get excited when the characters started to fight.
And for that to happen, he needed to have a good plot.
He had thousands of ideas.
During the drive to the restaurant and as he cooked that night, Theo's mind worked as he devised the perfect plot for the animation.
And when he drove his car home with Aurora in the passenger seat, Theo finished the plot.
The silver-haired young man smiled happily when he came up with the perfect plot.
Theo drove his car faster when that happened.
He wanted to arrive at his house as soon as possible to start drawing the storyboard of the animation!
