Nothing like a snowkissed studio session. Final stages of tweaking… while the snow makes Rothkos of the windows.

Master at work. Time for Rico to lend a final ear to the four tracks intended for EP1. Watching him coax our mixes to a new level is a privilege: parts are woven together to form a solid sonic picture.

Session 7 in The Doghouse… tweaking tweaking tweaking mixes of the first four tracks. And playing with CCTV. Getting there.

Refreshed and ready for session 5. Firmly in the realm of sonics now; tweaking pianos, cementing the rhythm section, sculpting each piece and pulling everything together. And creating bass dirt with whatever is to hand…

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.

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.
