Looking to get the right bass sound




We tested different bass sounds for the song "Walk under water". At one point, we even tried to replace the bass guitar by an old Hammond organ, as shown in the following video...



...and decided not to.

... more curious & funny stuff

Meanwhile in the control room...





While Mich is playing his ass off, the boys have fun hanging around and talking nonsense in the control room.

Finishing the drums




We spent most of the day finishing up the drums so far. 1 track left, then Mich can take a small break.

Day 2





Hi there! We started today with Sam's legendary eggs (the extra ingredient is...wait for it...butter. Who would have expected this?). To worship Sam's cooking, we drove to the pharmacy to get some serious stuff to fight his back pains.

Right now, we have already started recording and Mich played the drums for 2 songs, "Satellites" and "Sarcasm rules the world". We're progressing...

Day 1 wrap up



Day 1 is done! We experimented a lot today and finished the drums for 4 tracks. We finished around 22:30 and ordered some tasty stuff from a chinese restaurant in Malmédy. We're back in our house now gathering inspiration for tomorrow.

First takes





We had some trouble with our internet connection today, but we are back online. Meanwhile, we started recording the drums for "Give in", "Concrete walls", "Keep it" and "Come for you". You see, we were pretty busy today.

Lento in heaven




Lento was having lots of fun today exploring the complex structures of Stoner Rock bass-lines.

Sam on the floor



Unfortunately, Sam has a bit of trouble with his back, that's why he spends most of his few breaks lying on the ground.
