scotch egg party! in the house 13/feb

recording again in herald house this afternoon, decided to do some photos with scotch eggs following dan and i being inspired by them enough to write songs /riffs about them ! we also got a really interesting tribal sounding thing going quite late on - i was so exhausted after doing the vocalizing noises on this one, needed a good rest and recover afterwards, and a scotch egg!  recording was done just using two condenser mic's placed at right and left in the room,, this was becuase most of the other equipment was being used elsewhere that night (in the herald) - but it gave us a chance to try out how this would work, its a totally different sound!

song:  "THE MUD SHOWER"
recording this one was fun and quite exhausting especially on the vocal bit, at the end with the 2 level wailing.. we were sitting listening to it afterwards and we seemed to get a feeling of something happening in another room, almost like a shower running - we also though it was quite earthy and tribal, so thats how we got the title

Enjoy! -chris

Really weird. I was bored today so I looked on bbc iplayer to see if anything was good. I just watched this film:

You should watch it man. Honestly, it's a lot like the images I was gettin in my head when listenin to mud shower, and even when recording it. The themes of cleavage, mud, tribes, drums, wailing (there's a witch doctor type dude who sounds a lot like you sound on the record), and the theme of exhaustion and trying to overcome it are both in the recording with the incessant beat and in the film (you will see wot I mean when you watch it though). even 'fine sand' in the pic on youtube, n in the film there's a scene with quick sand, which is fine sand n mud basically, I think! Crazy stuff.



Laterz.
