Just like everyone else we begun to move all of our instruments. Every single drum, shaker, pedal, guitar, bass, synthesizer and person. Everything seemed to be in control and we kept on moving all of our equipment during the Friday evening. As the drums were supposed to get used to the new environment and temperature before being tuned we left Deep Blue Studios for the night.
Saturday came swiftly and 10.00 in the morning David, Isak(who helped Nico out in the studio) and Nico started to tune and arrange all the drums with recording gear. After setting everything up in the drum room and tuning the guitars in to drop B the recording of Is This Where We Started had taken form. Is This Where We Started explains the formation of our human breed. We have today reached the bottom of the top, so to speak by exploiting every resource, both human and natural resources in the new need for egocentric profit, and that’s not where we started or should continue. We need to take a step back and see the beauty.
Due to last recording session in Slakthuset Studio our expectations were set higher than before. But our attitude was still to make the best of it. The studio had potential to make an awesome record but we didn’t know if we had.
The drums had come clean to both of our songs and the guitars were up next. As we want to keep our sound in studio as we sound live, basically we used our own purchased equipment. Which we also think suits our music the best. We had to record one of the guitars twice because of a misunderstanding, but it came out good after rearranging the guitar once again.
We tried to use the time as efficient as possible which made the first day quit long. We recorded, drums, both guitars along with all the delay, echo and fuzzy effects. Emil ended the recording for the day by recording all the bass parts.
Elvis was first in place the next day by recording all of the synthesizer and piano parts. Some of the parts were not figured out. So, Elvis had to figure out how he exactly played in all the parts. This was central in our recording. We heard new things we hadn’t heard before that one’s playing and realized that we had figure some parts out to be accurate.
All the mixing and output work took quite some time and we are proud of the work. Right now we are working on the cover and are planning on doing some other new features on Myspace.
The title of our demo, “Samsara” is pointing to the egocentric way of humanity. People are putting themselves on pedestals and don’t give a shit about other people but profit. We are not trying to prove that there is another life beyond the one that think we are attending in right now. But pointing out one of the biggest reasons why people are living in oppression and starvation today, the ego. And we are not satisfied with that kind of world!
“Postponed. End” is again pointing at “Samsara”, as the Hindus and Buddhists are talking about. Everything is postponed and people are making other people suffer because of their own manipulative way of living as parasites.” Postponed. End” explains a person’s postponed end after being manipulated by another person in one’s surrounding. Being closed in, used and finally the person is enough submissive to hand in their own life in exchange of a sort of salvation. But then again, we will see the wheel and start over once again.
The release date of our new demo “Samsara” will be on Monday the 26th of October 13:37 p.m. GMT+1 and of course free for downloading. We don’t believe that music is a way of making money!
