Well today was an early start for me heading down to Evesham in the wee hours of the morning. Traffic wasn't too bad and got down there (a bit lost) just after 9.00. Anyway, got to Dave's studio and we was straight to work. I can't describe to you how efficient Magic Dave is, yes Magic Dave with his magical musical wand who has managed to wow me all day and he's such a lovely bloke and makes you feel at ease. Feeling lucky that I've got him on board!!!
Anyhow, today was spent mainly recording guide tracks just so Dave can get a feel for the song. We then concentrated mainly on creating ideas for just the two songs, Harlequin and Hologram.
Not wanting to give too much away, both songs have taken on a new feel, especially Hologram. We've basically, laid down drums using drum programming and bass and also a bit of electric guitar. Hologram has a beautiful string section in it that just puts a lump in your throat and it's giving that extra dynamic feel. Harlequin has that radio-friendly; driving theme to it that just makes you feel uplifted.
We've had a really good productive peak today which will continue tomorrow where we will be working on the other 3 songs and who knows how they will come out like. We will also be laying down acoustic guitar and vocal tracks at some point.
So there's your little insight as to what we've both got up to today. Anyway, not very rock n roll I know but I'm off to bed for a fresh start in the morning.
Thanks for taking the time to read about my experience!
Much love, Sarah, xxx
