Torched Laughter Studio Diary: Day 41 - Inuktorviit
I mentioned the song `Inuktorviit’ in the Day 4 Diary. By my humble estimation, the tracking for this song is now complete thanks to the vocal tracks being done last evening. The Neumann TLM 103 microphone is fantastic. Flat response, no weird coloration. I compared it against the vocal microphone I own (an Apex 450.) Though the differences aren’t vastly different when laying down the raw tracks, the gap between Nuemann’s response and the Apex’s affinity for sucking will exponentially get wider when they are processed and mixed.As a recap, `Inuktorviit’ is a type of inukshuk that warns travellers of a very evil place, person or thing. A devourer of souls. The song has only a cursory relationship with the Arctic and the native Inuits. At this point in time it’s just a working title. Probably the 4th working title for this song. The other titles were really imaginative like `Song 4′ and `The Acoustic Song.’My memory is a bit foggy on this song at the moment. I think it was inspired by the wind you feel after the Great Thaw. The arctic chill is no longer present in the air, you close your eyes and enjoy the warm air on your arms. Your loving mate tears off your lips.
