New shoes

As per public request, here are Lento's new sneakers....
Have a look at his "Héichwaasser".




Men power

The question is: what makes you feel more like a man than buying new gear and turning knobs on a panel with blinking lights?



Right! Fixing gear! This automatically raises your testosterone level to a point where you could kill a deer with your bare hands and devour it's rare meat (yikes!).

This leads to more manly poses like this one.



A negative side effect is that you may lose some screws while doing your manly poses and forcing all members of the band to crouch on the floor looking for that damn thing.

Day 7



2 days left, 2 songs left to record. We will see how we progress the next couple of days. Maybe we will stay an extra day if it's needed.

Recording the cello



We stopped late yesterday around 23:30. Emi has recorded the cello parts for "Satellites" and parts of "Concrete walls". We will finish the cello recordings this morning...fingers crossed.

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...

Fräuleinbesuch


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.
