Saturday June 23rd

This was a busy day for Jakob. We decided to record the next couple of songs in layers starting with the drums, because these songs have a different feel to them. The song One By One has a steady, almost electronic feel in the beat, even though it goes in 14/16 or what the hell we can call that beat. It's danceable, that's for sure. It worked really well with the edgy, precise drumsound that Tim made for it. Jakob also recorded drums for the song Idiot On Treadmill (still a working title, but we kind of like it now). This one also has a crazy beat and needed the steady precise feel that layered recording gives. Jakob and Tim stayed up all night and recorded the drums for yet another tune called Gradiska. This is a slow one but we wanted to experiment a little bit with the beats and the drum sound to make it a bit more rough sounding. We've done a recording of this before that ended up being too "nice", almost like a ballad...In the basement of the studio we found an old Trixon kick drum, which apparently is kind of legendary. It's an old german kick drum and it sounded awesome! Today Tim has a business meeting in Frankfurt and Udo won't be here until the afternoon. Jakob decided to go back to Copenhagen for a few days to see his wife and kid, so we will do some guitar and bass recording with udo tonight.
