Thursday June 14th

Tim O'Heir and his wife and son arrived in Copenhagen yesterday morning. Jakob went to pick them up at the airport and dropped them off at Arvids apartment, where they're staying while they're in Copenhagen. We let them sleep most of the afternoon. Tim's 2 year old son Kingsley got a kick out of playing with all Arvid's weird little gadgets. We met again at night for dinner at my place and talked about our plans for the coming weeks. We're all totally excited about making this record! Tim is a great guy, he has a lot of experience and it is obvious that he already has ideas as to how Barra Head should sound. Today we then started pre-production at our rehearsal space. After around a year and a half of songwriting it felt good to play the songs live to Tim. This in a way marked the beginning of the final stage of making the new Barra Head album. We were a bit nervous at first and didn't play that well I think, but Tim really seemed to like the stuff. He had some comments and some suggestions for small changes as well as some great ideas as to how to we could record it. Great to know that he's already thinking in those lines - how we can capture the songs the best way possible. We worked for 7-8 hours, but Tim was pretty beat with jetlag, so we decided to call it a day. Tomorrow we're rehearsing together again and I'm already looking forward to hearing Tim's ideas.
