3rd
of June: "It was a grey day. I managed to have Tom Bugs here with his equipment from ten thirty in the morning till five. We needed to rerecord some voices because the level of some of the live takes was fluctuating too much cause i was moving in front of the microphone. That's a shame in a way cause i know i prefer the sound of the voice when i play with everyone at the same time...We used the opportunity to have all the mics plugged in to do some light piano and guitar overdubs on the solo accoustic songs. And i recorded two piano songs recording the vocals at the same time. But the nicest part of the day was when the storm came and a strong rain fell down just outside the yellow house, so i ran outside and played some songs on the steps, Tom carried the mic in the corridor and we recorded two songs under the rain." |
