This Sunday I’m going in to Someone Else’s Studio for what is really technically an academic exercise; the lead singer\/songwriter of Leannan Sidhe and her group need someone to record for… it’s not a graduation exercise? But she’s very close to graduation and it’s a big project.<\/p>\n
So I showed up yesterday and met with her and her two co-engineers, and poked around at songs to do, and we pretty quickly settled on “Supervillain For I Love You,” which I’ve just recently revised (and I think improved, which is pretty typical for my work as I perform it) and we start talking microphones.<\/p>\n
And turns out they’re really into this song<\/em>, apparently, because suddenly they were all talking about who else they can bring in and how big a band we can assemble, and now we’re in the large studio and besides me and my zouk and the chorus there’s a bassist and a pianist and a guitarist and possibly a horn section<\/em> and they were working out a drumkit part I think<\/eM> that’s all but I’m not entirely sure<\/em>.<\/p>\n Now as this is happening I realise, I’ve seen this before<\/em>, on video, where, you know, Real Musicians Are In The Real Studio<\/eM>, because let’s face it, as happy as I am with the little one I built, it’s still a tiny studio and I can only play so many instruments, and only one at a time. I’m usually working alone.<\/p>\n So this Sunday may in fact be – outside voiceover and radio work, of course – the most “pro”-like recording experience I’ve ever had.
