Recording Diary v55

"Talking about music is like dancing about Architecture"

More work on Sodom.

We tracked some more keys for the ending section, using a Reason square wave synth sound that we ran though a fuzz distortion. I played a very simple part that will take nicely to treatments. We think.

This song will truly be born during the mix.

After that we placed various parts into the long outro section (ebows and some vocals) and tightened up the arrangement.

The next step is to get our pal Thomas to come out and run some elements of the song through his samplers/effect system for real time textural tweaking. We used this technique on the last album on "Spaceman" so it should be fun.

That's it! "Sodom" is complete. No more tracking on this bitch. So far we like how it sounds..good energy.

Next....

"Win" The War?

It's nice to know that McBush thinks he/we can win this fictiocious "War" so close to when he'd be conveniently up for re-election. War? I will always maintain these last eight years have been a battle for nothing but language.

Ok this made the rounds on the Internet tubes some months ago, but it's well worth a revisit.
