fuzmeister: Recording Blog Vol. 1
I figured I would start a series of posts regarding my recent studio adventures. Yesterday was day 1 of recording and we knocked out drums for 6 tracks in all. We're tracking in my friend Matt's home studio and the quality of the drum recordings impressed me a lot. Last fall I did Blanket Statement II with him and he has picked up a lovely assortment of microphones since then augmenting the quality tenfold. The AKG he set up for the kick drum definitely sounded great.
It's definitely been a long time coming (I think I started doing demos for this one almost immediately after Allusions came out), but I think this record will be worth the wait for everyone. I think this release will have the most grounded sound of any of the records I've done; While the mainstream consciousness would almost certainly disagree, I consider this to be an album of pop music - at least by pop music standards of forty years ago. I continue to explain my intentions to people as wanting to create a modern day "Harvest."
Mood: Tired
Music: Carbon Leaf - Seed
