Studio Diary: 14th - 20th August?; Days 26 - 30?








I’m making up for a lot of days now; if my calculations are correct, like 5. So this blog will be a recap of all those days, in short, in pictures. We began with clean vocals nailing all the songs. Then we moved onto screaming and shouting. When this is finished it’s back to Denis’ to work through all the recordings once more before heading to Fishbone Records.

Along this road:

We played copious amounts of Wipeout, Star Wars Lego, Call of Duty.

We slept a great deal, on uncomfortable furniture.

Had to relaunche Ableton over a 100 times, no joke.Rearranged the furniture

Ate crisps, croissants and cereal.

Drank water and whiskey.

Failed to light a shisha pipe.

Mario came.

The air conditioning unit would switch off every half hour.

Come Hither by Walter De LA Mare.

Theo’s parents would come home with sandwiches, chips, burgers and nuggets.

That’s it in a nutshell. There was lots of jokes and talking as well, nothing which sticks. Theo had to keep postponing his screaming, since he would get an agonising pain in his head each time. He was too afraid to go to the doctors and say ‘it happens when I scream’. Besides this, vocals sessions went down great without any disruption and sound really good. Saturday will be our last day, where Theo will finish off his screams and then we will go for a celebratory fish meze. We’ve decided to make this routine every time we do something in zigi, since we did this at xmas when we practicing for a gig. Until then;
