Recording at school + demo

The past three days we've been recording two songs; Cold Morning & Promise.

Two rather different songs which were also created on different times (Promise is our newest song while Cold Morning was one of the early songs created).

Recording with David was such a different experience when compared to Faber. David made it look like everything was a breeze and he helped with small suggestions and was so enthusiastic when it came to our music.

On Monday we started recording the drums, which took quite some time. Setting up all the different microphones (which David did; we couldn't do it ourselves of course) took time, and before we had enough good takes it was kind of late. But it sounded good and after playing both songs for way too many times we called it a day at around four.

On Tuesday we recorded me on the piano, cello and bass. For Cold Morning we needed bass which didn't took long. Neither did the cello part for Promise (which consists of a lot of piano and drum and cello only at the end). Both songs went incredibly well and we only needed about six hours before we called it a day (the fact that a piano doesn't need microphones also helped).

Today David recorded Anne. Unfortunately I couldn't be there the whole time, neither did Frauke or Roemer (I was there on Monday and of course on Tuesday). It also went very fast and what I heard sounded good.

At the same time we got our raw material from Faber, which sounded a lot better than we expected. Which is always a good thing.

Now all we need to do is wait for David to finish mixing the songs.
