Recording "Ocean"

After James recorded his guitars, he decided to take a break. Right now Daniel is recording his guitars.

New day, new recording setup


After some trouble, we decided to use Sam's own ProTools system for the rest of the session. So he got up early bought a couple of new hard disks. 
We hope we can progress faster today.

James talking to the Chef


Today we had a very good "Hühnerfrikassé" cooked by Gérard, our french Chef de cuisine. To finish up, we had a wonderful Dame Blanche with wipped cream. 

New single "Lock" is available on iTunes

Véro is leaving


Unfortunately Véro had to leave us because she has other photographic commitments the next days. So we will have to takw the pictures ourselves. However, she left us some great shots that we will upload one after another over the next few days.

End of Day 3

We had a very long day. Over 16 hours of recording and fixing gear that doesn't even belong to us. However, it was a fruitfull day. Mich recorded the piano for 3 tracks and we finished recording all instruments for the song "Samba" (working title).  

Switching tasks...




We had some bad luck with a compressor today. Sam tried to fix it but it would have taken too much time. So we improvised.

Starting with the guitars...


Here are some pictures of James playing along to the song "Samba" (working title).

Mich recording the piano


This morning the piano tuner popped in and tuned the Steinway. The rest of the morning, Mich recorded the piano for the songs "I fell down", "Accidently" and a song that doesn't have a name yet.
