What a day!

Boy, we really had a day full of work! 7 hours of recording strings and we are more than happy with the results!



Anne-Marie, Isabelle, Elisabeth, Astrid, Judith and Emmanuelle came in and played like hell until their fingers bled.



(Attention: dramatization of the actual events. No bleeding today)



Girls. You know them. They just want to have fun.

Friday recordings done!

Another day of recording is over and we're almost done. Next Tuesday 12th April, we'll be back in the studio for some serious string recordings. 4 strings and 2 celli are joining us in this project. This should be interesting...

So, have a nice weekend in the sun and we see us on Tuesday.



You know, we have lots of humor, but this is just plain sick. Poor guy...

This is Mike

It's about time that we give a little space on this blog to the brave engineer who accepted to record us.

Well, this here is Mike Butcher...



Don't make any jokes about his name. He heard them all...

Here he is doing a reference to the 1968 cult-movie "2001"...



"Wow! The monolith!"

We're back! Again!

We're back in the studio for a day of recording. Emmanuelle came in today to play the cello on one track.

Here she is doing a reference to the 1990 blockbuster hit-movie "Home alone".



She's so funny.

It's a wrap!

VoilĂ , 3 days of studio recording are already over. Time flies when you're having fun!

We'll be back in the studio next week to record an awful lot of strings. This should be interesting...




Don't sit around waisting your time! Go write notes for the strings, you lazy bastard!




Yes, I was talking to you! And don't give me that look!




In this picture: plain awesomeness.

By the way, we always thought this was a wrap...



See you in a week!

Sing Star

Jim and James popped in to sing a few takes. Here they are:



Lovely boys.

Day 3



Wow, we are progressing better than ever. All guitars are recorded and Mich is currently recording the vibes.

Guitar Hero

James is doing right now what he knows best. Nice for the rest of us, so we're having a break...



By the way, this here is James new guitar...even if looks like it fell of the delivery van on the motorway...



They call it the Relic look. Where we come from, we call it broken...

Springtime...



You're probably sitting in the garden sipping your Martini on the rocks while reading this. Enjoying the sun, aren't you?

Well, the studio we're working in right now exactly has 1 window. Here's the view:
