Knocked this idea up while mastering. Stamps and a spray can should see this come to light. Or something like it. Simple. I like simple. Droney music demands droney grafix. This is the first thing that popped in there so this will likely never see the light of day… but then sometimes first ideas stick ...
Settling into the new mixes. We are mastering on tuesday and that’s the way it is… Noah had a listen the other day and seemed to be relatively into it despite the lack of hairyness or fairyness. A good sign. Here’s some cool stuff from the studio. Love those old pieces of technology.
i just got very self concious about this whole thing. the songs, the playing, the name, the idea, the pictures… the songs. sometimes its bloody hell doing this stuff. why can’t i not give a shit. i don’t give a shit about some aspects of this but there is a base level of shit giving ...
i’m sitting here listening to Dana tweaking the drum sounds of our final track and it occurs to me that its all coming to an end. The process of recording has spanned many months, if not so many actual days, and aside from the inevitable self-doubting moments its been a beautiful thing. So now we’re ...
Back to the Hangar in a minute… We have 4 songs to complete and 2 to remix if possible. Things sometimes change over night and what you thought was ‘it’ was not it but something very close to it. Spent the wee hours last night adding some stuff to “the Dream Ends in Fury” but ...
i’m itching to get back into the hangar now. we are so close to being done but i have one remix and 4 tunes still to be mixed… i wish we had a week to do this… but now i just want these tapes full of good sounding stuff. time to get the band back ...
We mixed for something like 18 hours yesterday. Til almost 6am. It was brutal and our ears were blacking out but we got very cclose to completion at the Hangar. 9 songs down. I think it sounds great but to be honest i may not be able to listen to these tunes for a while. ...
So the end of 14 and half hours in the studio leaves us totally set up and with 3 songs complete. The difficult-lots-of-guitar-organs-etc… ones: Fire Escape, A Heart’s Ease and SLow Motion. The Pete tunes actually. Tomorrow we have 11 songs to do. Sounds daunting, is daunting and it may or may not happen. But ...
Quick post. we are on second mix of the day. Hopefully we’ll hit 5 today but its late already. We had some loss of tracks at one point which required some nifty redos by the dream team (andi, dana = incredible vocal peoples) but we’re still going strong. More later. internet not in the room.
I wonder if its a good sign that a pattern of bad humour has already set in. We haven’t even reached the Hangar yet but the by-product of many hours of repetion listening has taken its toll at an early stage. None of this should be funny but in the later hours, with only energy ...
