After a couple of tracking sessions last week, I took a shot at running off a few working mixes. The three quieter tracks went well but no matter what magic I tried to sprinkle, the drums for Luminaire, Weather and Almost were as flat as pancakes. Time to set back up and try again.

Drum Day
Finally moving on to some drum tracking. Taking proper time in the set up. More photos to come.
In Town Tracking
Bass, Jen, Ride and Toms. Quick, easy and quiet session.
In Town

Luminaire
Added a few more parts. Edits, drums and vocals to do.
Peregrine Brown Album Release

All This Love (Piano Demo)

Kick Horizon
Adding boomy kicks to Do Not Fear The Light and Let It Go. Approaching it from a different angle…
Lyric session..
Attempted some guide vocals earlier and realise that I need some prompting on the lyrics.
Do Not Fear The Light…
Did a few hours on this over the weekend. As with Luminaire, it’s effectively a re-record of a version from 2002. Looking forward to seeing how it sits with the others.
