Emi has arrived

Emmanuelle has finally arrived to record the cellos. After only 5 minutes she already started to crush some balls...

Daniel aka "Lazy Bone"

Musician's life can be very hard! After having a little powernap, Daniel stays in the same position to record the guitars for "Give in 4". Meanwhile Lento bought some new stuff...new shoes. Damn, no gear for his bass, but only this time...

Lento recorded the bassline for "Walk under Water" under the draconic surveillance of his girlfriend.

You see that? Aaiii!

He did this with an old Rickenbacker, made in the U.S. and A.

Vibra-Mich

Guitars are done for "Walk under water". Mich is recording the vibraphone now...



By the way, we recorded the drums for "Walk under water" with this crappy bass drum that we found on the studio attic.

Day 6

Even if we worked late yesterday, we started early this morning. James is recording the guitar to "Walk under water" right now, which figures his famous "chicken picking" that goes a little bit like this...




Late in the afternoon, Vero and Emi will finally join us and add massive female sex appeal to our sessions. Of course, Emi will bring her cello and start recording early in the evening.

11:30 pm and still recording...

Sam is trying to find the right natural reverb for Daniel's guitar on "Walk under Water".

Right now he is recording in a small place with a blanket in front of him.

Eating in a studio

We have the great luck that Tine and Stijn from the studio make great lunch every day for us.



And they really make great stuff for us like...



See?



We eat around 14:00 an go on working until 23:00. By then, all restaurants in an around Waimes are closed and none of us is in the mood for cooking (except Sam who made a great spaghetti carbonara a few days ago). That's why we mostly eat very unhealthy stuff in the evening like...



Thank God we all have our personal trainers when we come home, otherwise none of us could have such muscle packed bodies.


In the picture: real men.

Recording guitars for "Concrete walls"

After finishing up "Come for you", we started working on "Concrete walls". Daniel just finished the acoustic guitars and now it's James' turn to record the electric guitars.



Here's a view from the recording room into the control room.

More amps, more guitars and other stuff

We are trying a lot of gear as the LaChapelle studio has got a lot of funky gear to use...

Day 5

Day 5 at LaChapelle:

We started around 10 and continued to work on "Come for you". Daniel has already recorded the acoustic guitar and Lento is currently recording the bass. After that, we will move on to song 5 "Concrete walls".



For breakfast, we decided that eggs weren't enough and added some extra bacon today.


This pig didn't die in vain.

The cat stopped by and said hello. We thank it for adding a bit more cuteness to our blog. Hail to the cat!
