ok, so as far as possible i always like to try and keep different parts of my life separate. like my varsity life is seperate from my music and my music blog is separate from my personal blog. for those who don't know, i'm in a band called 'twofold' and our blog is at www.twofoldmusic.com.
but this week was a special one, and it has caused my music excitement to spill over into more personal affairs. i am afterall one person with one heart and so there's bound to be spillage.
so this wednesday kerri, chris and i locked ourselves in a room at our church and decided to work on 5 tracks for a demo EP... it was hard work and rather frustrating, but i was actually surpried at how nicely it came together on the day. by 2pm we had done numerous takes for 3 songs that still was going to need much editing and cutting and pasting, but we were making progress at least- and so when our heads were pounding little too much to bear anymore, we took a walk to mc donalds and had a breather and got some fresh air... you know- as i'm bloggin this i realise that it's actually quite boring if you weren't there. so i'm not going to make it interesting. so let me tell you the highlight for me:
at about 5:20pm chris had to leave and i was still really keen to record 'rain' cos that is the most asked for recording... so just before packing up, kerri and i did a 'straight take'... that is we recorded vocals and guitar at the same time from start to finish. the track you hear on twofold's facebook page has had no post-production. and to me, it's beautifully vulnerable because of it.
check it out...
