IPR Studios
Minneapolis, Minn.
| Studio Diary - Tony (2/24/08) Tonight, the four of us made it into the studio and to my surprise, in all of this, tonight was the first time that Kai met Dan. Strange. Tonight we decided to hit two of our bigger songs and a third if we had time. Well, we didn't have time for a third, but that's okay because we got some good work done on both "Chosen Ones" and "Share." We haven't played "Share" for a long time. We played it at some shows in 2006, but not really much since then. But tonight was fine. We got drum and bass tracks down. It'll come out fine. "Chosen Ones" underwent a lot of discussion in rehearsal. Some parts we felt were too long, others felt out of place. Sometimes it felt like there wasn't enough differentiation between sections. Our rehearsal seemed to bleed into the studio. The start of the takes was delayed, because we were still discussing the structure of the song! But in the end, it all worked out. I accidentally came up with a new portion of a drum part while sound-checking the kit. That single part seemed to give the song what it needed. Now it's unstoppable, baby. And other words like that. Gabe wasn't with us all night, as he had a previous engagement. Dan ran the show tonight, with Gabe present at the beginning and the end of the night. ...tony... |
