Recording Diary v51

We started work on "Sodom" last eve.

I first played a rhythm guitar track via the "11" plug in. We chose a clean tone effected heavily with tremolo. I ran through the whole song in about 1/2 hour or so.

Next we set up two basses. I played a Fender Precision via an old Ibanez analogue delay and Craig used his Von 8 string bass running through a delay that was synced to the track. We then perfected our parts, finally landing on a 16th note fast groove over the drums. The two basses played in tandem created a wonderful rhythmic texture that we are super happy with. We ran the song a few times and found the second take did the job.

Craig then pulled out the Mutated "bent" Joy stick and an it through a bunch of delays and recorded ambient treatments/noise at the out section of the song.

We have 7 min repetitive opus on our hands. Kinda "Interstellar Overdrive" meets "Stereolab" -after they both ate some bad pork.

That is all.

Seacrest Out.

Modern Sodom? No. I'm not sure I'd fall in line with that kind of moralizing.

Lyrics are not totally complete..but they subscribe to the Eno/Byrne idea of how the words musically sound, over what they mean. At least at this stage.
