S T U D I O : day seven

Today is day Seven. The Final day!

It is hard to beleieve we have been here this long, last night we slept here in the studio. ( literally) so the days are starting to all run together. when you sit in the same room for 12 or so hours a day ( and in this case.. over 24) it gets a little bit blurry. I didn't know that your ears and mind could get so tired until tonight.

Today we recorded the rest of the additional instrumentation, and then finally did the Piano recordings. Justin has a beautiful upright piano in his home that just had a ton of work done to it and was freshly tuned. He has cathedral cielings and hardwood floors that resonate the sound beautiful. We opened the guitar, and took the front panal off as well, placing 2 mics on top and 2 below. It has such a geniunly beautiful sound that in mind is so much more crisp and beautiful than some of the keyboard sounds people are using these days.

We are so unbelievably lucky to be working with Justin. He is a phenomenol Producer and Sound Engineer but also, musician. He picked up piano parts on a whim that I could never even dream of creating. It added such depth to the songs and where in some places added new melodies, also backed the guitar chords nicely as well for a very round sound.
