This is going to be short. Sorry. Long long long hours in studio with
Twice, producing their album. In the mornings I am still up at 7.30-8 to get Aden to school, even tho I get out of the studio as late as 2. It's been going extremely well, the studio, T
ango Zoulou, is a but unusual, but not for Paris--meaning, parts of it are in the basement and parts of it are not; lots of running up and down stairs. Henry, who is engineering the sessions is just the same kind of nutcase as me when it comes to stringing up elaborate setups to get new and freaky sounds. Kevin, our drum programmer is awesome and brings always a voice of calm perspective to the sessions. We are making a record with a band that's two people--guitarist Anders and vocalist Margot. So, how things can go is really open...which is both the great freedom and also the great challenge of this recording--we have to define the band here. They are a guitar band, but with no drummer they have always used drum machine loops...so they teeter between rock and electro. I think we have fallen just on the side of electro, but I am doing my best to keep the rock fully represented. In fact, what the band is is something new, and that's what keeps music moving forward. They are really kind people, too. You could be friends with folks like that.
It's also true that sometimes in the morning, I have been mixing Oh Libia, for like 30-45 min. some days. Rock around the clock.
On that note, that gives you an idea of how badly I need to sleep. Ahhhhh.
Love
KS
Paris
