First holiday in years… some preparatory listening before another studio visit for further mixing.

Session 4. Picking up where we left off, revised MIDI files in place, with the focus on tracking as much bass as possible – including first-time fretless on STROKES and TRYPTOPHAN. New Bass Friend Forever in the form of the UA 6176 interface. All bass now recorded.
Doghouse session 3, setting up two more tracks then straight into initial bass recording. We end with four tracks of bass in the can.
Session 2 in The Doghouse, revisiting STROKES and SERTRALINE… shaping the overall sound as a loose template for the next tracks.
Back from Glasgow with the first two tracks in great shape. A big shout to Rico at The Doghouse for his sonic crafting and treatments, and to Gerry Gregory for his engineering stamina.
First day in The Doghouse. Time to finally focus on how SEMITONAL will sound.
The Doghouse Studio is booked for early July. Meanwhile, drum recording continues in London…
Writing Writing Writing Writing Writing Writing Writing. And arranging. With a short break for Art and Birthday Beers.
Most live drum tracks have now been recorded for the first SEMITONAL release. Thanks to Paul Ashby for his wonderful contributions. Next stop… The Doghouse Studio in Glasgow.
Raine Vivian’s TIED UP EP is released on Bandcamp today. SEMITONAL contributed the LUCKLESS remix, and I played bass on a number of tracks.
