All this time

After the vocals for "Walk under Water", Daniel recorded the guitar for "All this Time", a special track...more to come. Right now Lento is recording the last bassline and James will be playing his banjo part.

Vocals pt2


Sam finally managed to convince Daniel to use a single microphone. On the other hand, the background decoration has drastically improved.

First track for vocals is "Walk Under Water".



Vocals



Daniel has started recording vocals. As he is suffering of megalomanic tendencies, he insists on using a maximum of microphones...



Early hours



The recording session went very late last night. Earlier, James did an incredible amount of guitar tracks for "Ready".
In fact we had to stop working (doing bass tracks) at 1 o'clock in the morning, because our ears were so jammed, we couldn't figure out if the tracks we were laying down, were even in tune.

Here's proof of what happens when there's too much Stella Artois involved!

Working late today

We decided to take a small break at 20:00 and drive to a belgian upper-class burger restaurant to gather energy for a longer nightshift.

You surely know that feeling when you want something very bad but you know that it's not good for you. Here's a picture of it...

First sunbeams in 7 days


Finally we had a little break from the rain we had the last entire week, so we got outside to work on our suntan.


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.
