Torched Laughter Studio Diary: Days 32-36, 37, 38?
After a long week filled with drama, sore elbows and shoulders, losing track of what studio day it is, all the drum tracks are completed. Whoosh! That is a big breath escaping from me. Or a precursor of a death rattle.
In order not to feel overwhelmed I played one drum a day. Tuesday was African Djembe day, Wednesday was `I’m going to do this track despite not sleeping zzzzzzzzzz’ day, Thursday was Ashiko day, and Friday was changed from Rock Band party day to Dumbek day. After last Friday’s dramacophony it was necessary to change this day’s priorities.
Since I haven’t updated since last week, here are some key bullet points of what has happened:
-Last Friday’s Rockband Party descended into chaos, thrown rings, self-loathing, and none of it thankfully centred around myself or the missus.
-Last Saturday was a continuation of Friday, but there was much sleep. Woke up in the afternoon just in time to return the upright bass. I already miss that hulking hulk thingy.
-Sunday I was test miking again. Another guitar was bought. Remember that Ibanez AF85 I was salivating over? It’s as good as I thought it was.
-Monday was drum practice. It was also `Family Day’ in Ontario. A new holiday. I rejoice. There’s a warranted incest joke to be made here I am sure of it.
Tomorrow/this Saturday I return the AKG C-1000’s to the rental outlet. If you’ve been keeping up with this blog you’ll notice that these mic’s have been a blessing. I will see if they can be bought for a reasonable price.
