Skye’s doing vocal takes…I’m blogging..We All Want To – vikings of the multitask!!

We’ve thought of a little modification to our vocal comp predictor Ap’. It’s a random variable in which both parties agree on the same comp piece. It’s much like the neutral colour in roulette and the house wins, except in this case the bet is either split both ways or goes a side pot, Texas Hold em style. Whattya think?

Another couple of tracks done with drums and bass. Skye’s gearing up for vox fest this evening. Josh’ll be back from work later and it’s all going rather swimmingly.

Piece of toast offerings thus far: one, with additional offer of crumpet.

Ben’s doing his pass parts for ‘Park’. It’s gotta be lunch time isn’t it?

Four Tracks Done!!!!

Today that is..in the last half hour nailed down track number four ‘Park’. I’d originally set a list of four to do, changed it to five, but it wasn’t meant to be. Four it is..and it’s all sounding rather sweet.

Pretty knackered and my ears are doing some pretty fierce ringing..

Back to it tomorrow..oh and the arty dEUS like pics are on their way along with the video uploads.

So why didn’t we blog Day 1?   Well because we were all so busy tracking our little hearts out. So here’s the break down from Day 1 – Drums, bass, vocals guitars and keys all tracked for one number.  Dinner late and lager in between, chipfest and chocolate to accompany the lager. See pics.   Sunday night’s catering came courtesy of Skye with a fabulous spinach and almond soup.

Day 2 - Drums and bass tracked for three songs. some more guitars and vocal duties for Skye and Tim.  Lager and chocolate make the in between musings move along nicely.  Catering Monday sorted by Tim with his famous Red Thai curry.

Day 3 – Dan and Ben get a rest being three tracks up.  Vocals, guitars and keys on Day 2 work are currently being taken care of, with Josh slaving away over a rare Burns London six string bass.  Keep an eye out for the photo posts because it’s gear fest folks.  Tuesday night catering courtesy of well known homegrown pizza chain.   Sadly we’re out of lager but are working to rectify that rather quickly.

So things to keep an eye out for:  More posts from this evening’s efforts…AND our new Youtube channel which will come online from tomorrow hosting all the tid bits of video etc from tracking and general farnarkling.

Stay tooned

Addendum….

Ok so tonight’s sojourn into representational discourse had us nailing down some final bass lines tidyings and starting drums, bass and bouzouki on a new track.  Vocals for that one and guitar will be nailed down tomorrow.  Track titles are as yet not out and proud as we’re still kinda living with working titles and some undecideds.  So for the moment those details will remain flakey and a tad vague.

Plan is to get down a sizeable quantity of drum tracks by dinner tomorrow.  Reckon we can do it?  I reckon we can.

On other points of note..Skye has invented a potion to open the vocal chords, but I have it as needing more Jamesons and less cider vinegar.  Darek and Tim are to set to meet head to head in a pizza eating comp next Tuesday night, the goal being who can get through a largey first.  I’ll be calling for bets closer to the day.

G’dnite folks.

Hey folks,

We’re playing  Kings Beach Tavern next Friday night. Will be special for a couple of us having originated from the Coast and not been back for a while.  Looking forward to catching up with some old friends and making a bunch of new ones. Come along, come up and say hi..we’ like lager, hugs and the odd bad dad joke.
