Week 20: Chaney²

Daryl’s brother, Ross, stopped by this week to record some jazzy drums for a few tracks (we say jazzy, as he’s a jazz drummer…). He made some rather spiffing additions to ‘End of Print’ and ‘Prog’. It’s made a pretty huge difference to both songs, but particularly ‘Prog’.

Did some nice layered drums for the outro of ‘Prog’ which sound great. Daryl had done some rough recording for it with Ross in the attic of his family home last week – recorded with just a Macbook mic. Sunday was spent in the same room for a couple of hours trying to get the same sound from ‘proper’ mics. I think we’ll probably end up using the Macbook recording…

Ross’ transcription for ‘Prog’ looked highly impressive to us fake musicians…

In between takes we’ve been watching:
The Killing (don’t ask me why I started watching the US one as apposed to the Danish version, but its bloody great anywho)
Norwegian Wood (it aint the book, but it’s nice)
The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo (same as above could probably be said, but I haven’t read the book…)
