3 in ONE DAY

TORSDAG 110325:

Sista dagen denna vecka i replokalen.
Vi startar lite senare än vanligt men öppnar (som vanligt) upp med lite kaffe och lite skitsnack innan vi drar igång repet.

Vi kikar på en låtidé som robban har. Det är en bra känsla i låten och jag tror att det kan bli riktigt bra.
Efter det tar vi en lunch på mittis innan vi återvänder till replokalen.
Väl tillbaka blir det lite pingis och mer kaffe innan vi ger oss på nästa låt.
Det är en av mina låtidéer. För er som inte redan vet det gillar jag riff. Denna låt har ett tungt (läs fränt) riff och jag tror att det lär bli töfft när det är klart.
Vi hinner till o med göra en 3:e låt också! Denna gång är det från en idé som pålle har.
Det är en del riffande i denna också och det bådar gott.

Vi avslutar en effektiv repdag med lite rundpingis. kul.
Till veckan blir det mer studiotid. ännu mera kul.
Vi höres!

PING PONG KING

ONSDAG 110323:

In Ånge again.
Today and tomorrow we´ll put a few additional songs together. It´s better to have too many than too few you know...
Krille comes up with a smooth tune and we instantly begin to work with it.
At the end of the day it turns out a little bit diffrent than I first imagined it but... It sounds good!
                       "RUMPA" (rundpingis)

We got a pingpong table! When we´re giving up music, we´ll all be great tabletennis players.
See ya tomorrow.

FRIDAY ON MY MIND

FRIDAY 110311:

Friday again... nice.
Mattias is here today for support.  I continue with my guitars and first up today is the "waltz".
It´s a little bit diffrent but I like it. It´s cool.
The next song for me is the one we recorded in 2 versions. Nemas problemas.
I like this version with a new chorus and the guitars sounds really heavy.

That´s all we got time for.
Next week Mattias will be in the studio together with chris and I am going to Spain.
Take care!

HELLBILLY

THURSDAY 110310:

Back from a day-off.
Me, Krille and Chris drinks a cup of coffee before we get to it.
We have to record a good take of the latest version of the last song from thuesday. No big deal.
I get a good feeling on this one now and it might be really really good when it´s done.

The next thing we record is the end of a song... Robert wrote a nice one with only guitar and vocals on all verses and choruses. Well except for the last one where the drums, bass and guitars come in.  Might be cool.

Lunch at the pizzashack.

After that we record drums to that hillbilly song I mentioned earlier.

Right about now, it´s time for me to get my guitars ready and lay down some heavy riffs.
               We change strings on every new song

Chris picks out a song for me and we´re at it.
It´s a pretty cool riff to this one and I need a couple of takes before I´m warm. However, once we got it flowing, it sounds really cool. Oh... is the clock that much already?
I give Krille a ride to the trainstation and we´ll continue tomorrow.
          This is how chris would look like in beard.

Bye.

DAY 18

THUESDAY 110308:

New day, New track.
No big deal on this one either. A fast intro followed by a midtempo verse and a slow, heavy chorus.
Krille knows how it´s done.

The next one is a bit trickier.
Alot of tempo- and rythmchanges.
We record two versions of it so that we can listen and get a feeling to wich one is the bästgången.
It takes a couple of hours and at the end of the day, there´s still a few changes who needs to be done but we save those for thursday. We have a day-off tomorrow.

Now I need to sleep.
Hello Mr.Sandman.

MONSTERS

MONDAY 110307:

Me and Kristoffer arrives to Mr.Chris and this week we´re supposed to lay down some nice drumbeats to a couple of the new tracks we made in the rehersalroom 2 weeks ago.
                     The little drummer boy!

We start out with the "waltz" and to my great happiness, there´s less trouble than I first suspected.
A few adjustments later and we´re ready for a new song. However, since we started out pretty late we feel that the remaining energy is put on hold for tomorrow.

The remaining hours of the day is spent on eating a wonderful dinner and watching the worst movie ever!
                          DON´T SEE IT!

Tomorrow we´ll kick some arse.
Tjena.

SONG 4

FRIDAY 110304:

The work continues.
This day is very similar to yesterday.
Robert takes on another new song today (the fourth one this week) Good work!!
Like yesterday, there´s no problem to sing even though it´s eraly in the morning.
       Rob and Chris listens to the result of today´s work

Sounds good as usual and again I feel satisfied and excited about the new songs.
I feel pretty satisfied with Veronicas lunch also. Tikka Chicken with rice! Yummy. Thanx V.

I add some more backing vocals in the booth.
                            The booth

This song is good for now and that´s about it for this week.
Mattias checks in on us and wants to hear what we´ve accomplished this week.
He seems very pleased. So am I.

It´s been another good week and now it will be nice with a couple of days off.
We´re back here in the studio on monday again so until then...
Listen to good music and keep your ass out of trouble.
Ciao

MORNING VOICE

THURSDAY 110303:

Robert begins with a new song right away.
Usually it´s a bit tricky to get the voice working this early in the morning but that dosen´t stop Rob from great singing.
A couple of hours later it´s almost done but now we´re hungry so we leave for lunch at the pizzashack.

                      A tasty kebab later

After lunch, it´s time for me, Tomas, to get to work.
I add som new guitars for a new solo-part and then I take Robert´s place in the songbooth to add some backing vocals.
We try out a couple of diffrent variants of melodies and pretty soon we got it like we want it.

I take Rob to the trainstation and we´ll be back tomorrow!
Bye

MASTERPIECE

WEDNESSDAY 110302:

Fredrik´s just got one more track to do so he begins hammering the bass right away.
Chris is a little tired today because of the "meeting" yesterday so everything is set to a much lower volume for some reason...
                Allergic to fur and loud noises!

We eat pizza for lunch and I must say that even though the pizzashack is quite run down, the food is excellent!

Rob begins with a new song and immediately sets the tone. It´s a bit tricky to get the last chorus in place... it sounds good but we want it to lift even higher.
                    Robert cathes his breath

It takes a while but finally it´s right there. Another masterpiece.
Can´t wait to see/hear what tomorrow brings!
Adjö.

MORE

Thuesday 110301:

Robert starts out with some additional vocals to yesterdays track. Sounds so good and I think this is going to be one of my favourites on the album!

Veronica makes a delicious lunch and later, Freddy checks in to continue his bassplaying.
              The Sandberg (and freddy) in action

He adds bass on two more songs today before Chris has to leave for a meeting. It´s a good work from everyone again as usual!
I´m working on the albumcover and it begins to look hot!
that´s all for now.
