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
Due to a tuner with a failing battery, the results of last night’s session were a total washout and I’m in the studio early to catch up and keep the idea fresh. Appropriately enough, the track I’m working on is one of the earliest songs on the album and dates from my time at BurslemContinue reading “In Town”
Luminaire
Added a few more parts. Edits, drums and vocals to do.
Peregrine Brown Album Release
My amazing friend Darrell’s new album is out on Gentlemansunion today. I genuinely love it and it’s well worth at least fifty spins. Apple Music link but available everywhere you get digital music etc etc etc…. music.apple.com/gb/album/peregrine-brown/1518260298
All This Love (Piano Demo)
I did start a faster version of this on guitar last week. Wasn’t working so pushed it to piano and slowed it right back. Seem to remember doing a version like this a while ago but forgetting about it. Think it works and will progress this weekend.
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.
Getting there…
After a short break (three weeks I think), I’m back in the saddle. Did a few hours this afternoon and managed to get the bare bones of the following tracks together. Luminaire, Let It Go, The Fear and All This Love Not a bad catch up and the new mics (AKG C1000s) are working outContinue reading “Getting there…”
