recording - day 168

Completely forgot to take any photos, so you'll just have to take my word that recording days 168 and 169 took place.

Apart from a few specialist sounds, guitars are done and sounding twinkly, spazzy, chunky, brutal, repulsive, grumpy, sleepy, ragtag, cottontail and bob. We also snook in a cheeky trumpet session, featuring Aaron's brother, and somewhere in amongst the layers of guitar is the sound of my dad bellowing my name down the stairs.

Aaron was due back tomorrow, but at this point I have no idea whether his plane is going to attempt a hellish re-entry through the layers of molten lava currently engulfing our country. We'll play it by ear.

Next steps in the recording include a big fat cello session, to replace the sub-zero disaster recording we made back in november, a day of squalling guitars just to send anyone within earshot into a murderous rage, some kind of violin recording session, garnished with a series of ongoing and sporadic vocal sessions.

Sometimes it looks like a home straight, sometimes not.

Blog/website-wise, I have until 1st May to sort myself out. It's looking increasingly likely that some kind of Wordpress overhaul is in order; I'll keep you posted.
