Studio day six Hello I can't believe we only have two days left in the studio. The album's not finished by a long shot, we have another session in sept and then some over-dubbing to do in LA. I shouldn't say it before it happens incase I jinx it but Kevin Shields might well play some guitar on a song. He's one talented man. 'Loveless' by My Bloody Valentine is such a beautiful album and was massively innovative in it's time. If you don't know it I recommend giving it a listen. Thanks again for all your comments some were seriously funny. Darren was it you who said your Dad use to tell you that the sound of the ice cream van meant they had run out of ice cream ? Thats class. Adults can be so mean. Glad to hear I'm not alone with my love for eighties music. I remember my first slow dance at a disco was to 'Crazy for you' Madonna. The guy I was dancing with struggled throughout the song to put his hand inside my sweater but I had it tucked so far down my jeans he eventually gave up. On the work front, we got a great cheesy keyboard sound on a Roland Juno 6, put it through a distortion pedal and some echo. It sounds gigantic. I'm now going to play a quite acoustic song over it and see what it sounds like. I'm hoping it will sound like chaos and order mixed together. That or a pile of mush ! Sleep well Gemma x |
