Well, it's done. The music is at least. We got together and wrote and recorded the entire story in two days. We thought sure it would be at least 20 minutes.. 12. It turned out to be 12 minutes long. Notably I still need to track vocals and do some sound design but 12 minutes??
It was interesting getting to the place were we could record. You see, I'm in the process of building an actual studio in my garage but I'm out of money. We really wanted to play it all together so I worked out isolation boxes for my guitar amp and the bass amp. It wasn't cutting enough of the drums out of the guitar microphones.
We needed to dampen more sound in this room with zero wall coverings. We're talking about a metal building with spray insulation and wall frames a foot from all the external walls. So, we got creative with empty boxes and duct tape and built a wall around the drums. It seemed to cut back on the high end and transients and not to mention it just made the entire production a bit more classy.
We recorded it as 6 tracks but in listening back it sounds like 3 or 4. It is a story so it all flowed together nicely. The track list:
1) A Boy and his Demon
2) The Forest
3) The Piano
4) Tell Me a Story
5) You Can Do It, Again
6) The Fire
Looking forward to making some time this weekend to finish up. More Later
