From Friday to Sunday, we stayed in a marvelous Bed&Breakfast in Landrop, near the studio. Thanks to Anne-Marie and her husband, we had breakfast like british Lords.

Mixing Palpitations

We are currently in Hooveloon in the Netherlands to mix our new album. Mixing is done at the Audioworkx Studios by Werner Pensaert. More pictures are coming.

Studio recordings completed

2008-07-29T17:55:00.003+02:00

Hello everybody who followed our recording marathon last week. We finished our sessions on Sunday night at 00:30, stuffed our cars with our gear and drove back to Luxembourg.

To sum the last week up: we spend up to 16 hours of recording everyday, tried a lot of new sounds, developed a bunch of new ideas, had a lot of fun eating and drinking together, got to know each other better and made us a week to remember. A very special thank you goes to Sam Wirtz, who worked like a lunatic to prevail against technology and who made us grow to our maximum.

We hope you had fun following us creating the backbone of our new album. However, we are not there yet. We will start recording the backing vocals and other things soon. We will also record cello and strings in the next couple of weeks. We will update this blog as soon as we have something new to show you. So, we will stay in touch. Thank you all and we will get to you soon.

Getting more things done ...

Recording vocals for "A to E" pt1

2008-07-27T20:08:00.004+02:00

Daniel is in a very good flow. He is doing 6-7 vocal tracks today.

No lazy Sunday!

2008-07-27T16:52:00.002+02:00

Daniel has started recording the vocals. As Sam likes the room and the tasty microphones, they are trying to record as many tracks as possible.

In the meantime everybody is hungry...

Day 7

2008-07-27T15:10:00.003+02:00

Sam is desperately trying to keep track of cables, convert files, import sessions, keep the computers running, ... while some of us are sleeping or practicing Rockstar/the "Dude" aka Big Lebowsky poses.

Blogging 2

2008-07-27T15:07:00.001+02:00

James and Lento are enjoying the night outside and are trying to post some new posts to this blog.

Sometimes it is boring...

"Accidentally" and "Outside" completed

2008-07-26T21:36:00.004+02:00

While Lento was having fun updating our blog the last couple of hours, James and Daniel recorded the guitars for "Accidentally" and "Outside". Currently we are working on "I fell down". Right now, we are trying to stop Lento from having funny ideas by forcing him to record the bass for the song.

Weekend in the studio...

2008-07-26T20:08:00.002+02:00

Daniel is getting drunk, so Sam is trying to get a hold of the big picture.

James, "de Boy"

...doing his thing.

Recording "Accidentally"

2008-07-26T14:19:00.003+02:00

Pimping the bass for that deep old school sound.

Today we are working on "Accidentally", a song we never rehearsed before. It is kind of a puzzle game, putting all the pieces together. Let's hope we don't get lost.

James and Sam are working hard to catch the right sound on disk.

Day 6

Some private joke, sorry...

Hm...

Bass for "Surprised" is done! Sam has been zwirbling some great sounds! So what about a drink?
