everyone acted like they weren't themselves. people who were expected to arrive late came early and vice versa. this caused people to be a little jittery at first. stumbled over the first few takes of "Discarded Toy". however, we started warming up to the feel of recording and we were soon being our goofy selves again. charles took some pics with my camera.
side comment: putcha, ralph, may blog ka pala! i-update mo nga! i like the title hehehe... atsaka buking ka na sa musical tastes mo dahil sa archive hehe. "noebahdee cahres for meeh..."
we finished around 7 lay-ins plus recorded the drums for those songs and completed the bass for two of them. we shall continue again tonight. i'm kind of excited. this time, though, the session has been scheduled an hour later than originally reserved to give leeway for unforeseen setbacks such as last night's fiasco.
on the trip home, allan was playing around with band names, making them into products. ayn and i kept cracking up. my favorite is "Popular Days Soy Sauce". And also "Five Wounds to Enter Cheese Snacks--- comes in only one flavor!" And then there was "Pentaviaaaah Lighter Fluid---- Fire from HELL!". Hmm... actually, that last one was this morning when allan called me up at work. Last night, it was "Pentavia Jeans and Shirts--- we will rock your balls away!" this isn't meant as poking fun at the bands themselves, of course... it just sounds really funny when Allan does the voice overs. tawa kami ng tawa ni Ayn.
this morning, ayn and i were the last ones to go home at 5 am--- and both of us had class/ work at around 9! as a result, i had a really bad nightmare about recording. in it, it was 4 am and still going. allan was so delighted with the progress we were making that he kept us going and going and going... till it was 8:30 and we were all so tired! i was thinking, "NO, ALLAN, NOOOOOOOOO!" yun pala panaginip lang hehehe.
anyway, tumawag si Allan nga sakin kaninang umaga para pag-usapan yung "Light A Candle". He was suggesting ways for me to sing it. i wasn't sure if I could do it the way he wanted me to, which was kind of drunk-british accent-y... like the way Adorable does it (sorry, can't remember the name of the artist of that song he made me listen to as a sample). we still have to iron out little details like that tonight and for the following recording sessions.
anyway, i'm sure we'll have a lot more stories to tell about recording adventures. tatah.
