Battle Blow

The Family Ghost got together for some recording action yesterday. We started to try to work on the rest of the drums for the song Jacques sings that will probably be called "Cameras" now. Well, I was having difficulty matching the drums with what was prerecorded. We spent a good bit of time getting a good drum sound though. Anyway, then got a text from the neighbors asking us to stop early because of studying for a test, so it was left unfinished. We then recorded some of Ryan's keyboard part on the same song. We all went out to eat at El Mezcal with Shawna and Mary Beth. Then back and Ryan finished the synth part on that song. Then we recorded two vocal tracks on the song Ryan sings (one high, loud. and distant and one low, quiet, and close). Jacques had brought over his sampler, loaded with a few clips he'd nipped from The Exorcist 2 and layed several tracks of that to bury underneath "Death Blow." He did a couple of just straight samples, then several through the two crazy Boss delays. They sound pretty awesome, yeah. Then, caught up in the fun we were having messing around with that we recorded a 45 minute jam session through those delays. Jacques stayed mostly on sampler and I was playing (at various times) the Monotron Duo, drum machine, a single oscillator, and the Prophet vocoded. So yeah, late late last night we made an awesome fucking noise record. I may slap it up on soundcloud in the future. Also, yesterday I got a Laurie Spiegel shirt in the mail from The Wire. Not going to the gym today in the hopes I can go tomorrow (as Tuesdays are gonna be pretty light for me during the block schedule). Up so late and so whatever and with the work I've got to do today. I should do that shit.
