Setting up the bass (and more drums)




We are currently working on the bass sound. By the way, the black thing on which Lento is standing is not a Hoverboard, but a vibrating platform. Besides the fact that he looks like a G.I. Joe action figure taken out of the package, this platform makes him feel the drum and bass while playing with headphones. Now THAT'S science-fiction!

Studio testing







We finally made it to the studio and started to set up the drum sound and guitar and bass amps. In a couple of hours we will start the recordings. We will try to record the first song "Give in" live, to get the energy right on tape...or hard disk to be more correct.

Early birds






We got up early today, well, for musician standards, and Sam made his famous eggs sunny side up. We got an early visit from the house-cat, that seemed to like the smell of Sam's eggs. After that, we were off to the studio around 09:30.

Our Little House on the Prairie





Here are some impressions of our little cottage 5 minutes from the studio (with deer inclusive). See you tomorrow...

Arrival at the studio







Hi there! We arrived at La Chapelle Studios tonight at 19:00 and put our stuff in place. We already set up the drums so that we can start tomorrow morning. After all this, we drove to our house where we will live the next 8 days.
