Bonjour, mes amis!
I am currently taking a self-declared, initiative-driven mini break in the midst of my exams. The exam is just a state of mind. But music is a state of BEING.
*strikes dramatic pose*
The Masterplan Superplan
So anyways! On the date mentioned above, it was D'n'B time, again! I'm sure some persons who happen to be reading this tremendously interesting blog will start to ponder: "they got no guitars, meh?"
But hah! I have anticipated your question beforehand, and plucked the question out of the air the moment you breathed it out. So here it is- It's all because of Syafiq and moi. We have our exams going on during April and May. What a bummer huh. So because of that, we decided to put down the D'n'B(i can't put my bass tracks down without the drums first - well technically i can, but i'll sound robotic) and Syafiq's guitar tracks down before the exams if possible, leaving the exam period for Kenneth and Rahmat to record their guitar and vocal pieces respectively.
This is just our intentions, of course. Plans might change, timetables shifted, Wader may get too popular, and F1 might decide to run through Dunlop St. So we'll get our business going like the normal spongerinas we are, and hope everything falls through nice and tight.
The Procedure
We marched in shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves, with Come Home and For Fathers firmly on our minds. The two rather 'simpler' songs on the album, we really hoped it would take only a few hours to get it down. Luckily for us and for Nick, we did.
Both songs were very very direct and it would be rather boring to detail what we did. But anyway, for anyone who has recognized For Fathers at our live sets, you'll be in for a surprise. The version that we usually play is that very version - the live one. The original is not astonishingly different, but still rather noticeable. Keep a lookout for that, yo!
Newsflash: For some fantastically unrelated news, i have just adopted a cat last night. It's currently busy hiding under my bed buried under all the damn junk, and i can't even get it out. When i do bring him out into the world, i'll definitely put up pics of him here, for any kittyphiles around.
