Recording: 'DisTracktion'
Bag-end studio - 23:00-02:00 - P: Dude.

Creating and recording from scratch a new intsrumental, just to inauguraute Yann's new terrific idea: a way to make music together, even though we live many kilometers away from each other. It was also for me a way to be acounted with a new music software called Tracktion. I did two tracks of rhythm guitars, and then some melody guitars. In between that I did some bass. I recorded all those instruments dry, hoping that Yann would do the producer's job.

Recording and filming: 'The fool on the hill (live at the wedding)'
Maggie's garden - afternoon - P: Joël. Present: friends and family.

This is the performance of "The fool on the hill", complete with flute played by Julian and tambourin played by Doreen. This was for my father's wedding. The children worked hard for this, and put all of their heart into it. I'm so proud.

This HAS NOT been recorded, but I've included it here just to keep tracks of all the Trio rehearsals. It was a good one. Finally we arranged the middle eight of 'Look sharp' to make it sound exactly like the live version, and we improved it a lot.
