Last night we had this huge jam at my place, lots of bears and good talk, and then went for a quick jam. We just wrote the song as we went along. All is performed live.
We used my scope system for tracking live to nuendo with timeworks comps, eqs & reverb all over the place. And it performed flawlessly, without a hinch as usual.
The singer (my girlfriend) is singing into a EXTREMLY lousy consumer mic, which is why she sounds as shes's "lesbing" (essssss).
The snare drum sounds a bit muddy, curse it has a big carpet over it, so we didn't woke up my two children.
All in all (as you can hear) we had a great time doing this, and after tracking with this raw sound, time was getting late, and I made a "export audio" in Nuendo, so my friends could get it home on a CD, but we agreed to mix it sometime next week.
But then I woke up today, and my HD was totally crashed...I mean TOTALLY... DAMN, all the stuff i made for the last 2 months, GONE arrrrrg
. I say to all of you : GO BACKUP YOUR STUFF NOW!!!! Data isnt safe unless its at least on 2 or 3 mediums.
So, whenever you listen to this song, backup your data meanwhile.
Anyway it was great fun making this song, and it has a lot of funky elements to it.
Fx the "ding" sound which fly around from time to time is a candlelight holder in a string, which is stroked with a screwdriver and then "swung" around two mics.
The "tick - tick - tock" sound is two people playing beerbottles with defferend load (they had a hard time getting through the song without drinking, but they had to, becurse of the "bottles tuning"
), stroked with coins.Hope you backup up while you hear this, else the bitpolice will come and get you...
