Bag-end studio - afternoon - P: Dude.
Starting the stupid acoustic rendition of Revolution 9 with some voice elements: the various bits and pieces of speech that happens all along the track. I also did a cool "number 9" phrase, which I repeated ad nauseum, and the "allriiiiight" segments. Then I did some more vocal fixing on the Who's, I added the choruses to Patrick Lepleux's "Maybe I'm amazed", and I started putting voices down to another of Pat's cover: "Hold me tight". (the middle-8s).

Bag-end studio - afternoon - P: Dude.
It's been quite a long time since my last recording session. That's because my main computer crashed, and it tool me almost 3 months to have it fixed and to re-install all my system. Add to that the summer holidays and there you go ! Take 1 of "let me roll it" is an instrumental version done by Patrick Lepleux from Ysn. I just added my vocals to it. Then I fixed some vocal parts on my Who project.

Recording: 'Real love'
Bag-end studio - afternoon - P: Dude.
That afternoon I had some unexpected free time to spend, and I felt in the mood for adding another cover to my Ysn tapes. So I did Real love, as a bare track, just a rich acoustic guitar, with simple vocals, and with two brilliant electric guitars panned hard left and hard right and playing all George's solos and fills. A complete cover done in just two hours.

Recording: 'There there' (acoustic take)
Bag-end studio - 13:00-14:30 - P: Dude.
Adding some vocals to "Cheer down": half of the backing vocals and a try at the lead. Then I did an acoustic take of "There there", but my voice was way too loud in the mix, so I guess I will have to do it again one day.

Recording: 'Cheer down' (SI on take 1)
Bag-end studio - 22:20-24:00 - P: Dude.
I'm in a recording mood, nowadays :)
I did two rythm guitars for 'Cheer down': one clean that plays plain chords thru the song, and one slighty distorted which plays palm-muted root notes for the chords. Then I sarted doing the slide guitar solos. I'm not satisfied which the intro one yet, which I'll probably redo, but I'm really fond of my middle solo. I didn't think I could do it this well enough, considering the very little experience I have in the domain of bottleneck use.

A very productive day of music ! I finally recorded my versions of 'Casimir Pulaski day' and 'Mother of violence', which I was planning to do for months now, and then I was warm enough to attack the beast: the second half of the 'Shove it right in' suite. It was pure fun, pure energy, pure music, .... God I felt so alive... After that I just couldn't stop: I re-did all those Who vocals I was struggling on for months, and got interrupted in the middle of 'We're not gonna take it'. Otherwise....

Bag-end studio - morning - P: Dude.
Great vocal works that day. The Sean Lennon medley really was just a warm-up thing. But then I finally started actually giving life to one my greatest musical fantasy: Flo & Eddie's part of the 'Shove it right in' extravaganza ! The instrumentation in this is done by a 14 year old boy (!) named Lou, which recorded his parts in just one day, without even previously knowing the song !

Bag-end studio - morning - P: Dude.
Doing two takes of voices. Each separated by an octave. I haven't decided which one tu use yet. But I have decided a major change: from now on my 'stage' name is going to be "Zongadude", and not the too-simplesque 'Dude' I used so far.

The first recordings done with the use of my new E-MU box unit: fours guitars for '1985'. The main two guitars that emulates the piano, and the funky-Chic guitar that appears here and there. Working this this unit is so smooth, that I almost enjoy making recordings again. ;)

After a two months break, recording has resumed in Bag-end studio. I finally managed to finish the bassline to 'Dragonfly' which I was doing with David for Ysn. And then I also did the bass for '1985' which was started a long time ago. This was the last recording I ever did with instruments and mikes directly plugged in to the computer. From now on, I would use my new E-MU box.
