France 3 basement - 21:00-00:00 - P: Dude. Present: Dude, Thierry, Arnaud.
This rehearsal was not recorded.
We started with 'Look sharp', and then procedeed thru the repertoire. This is the day we tried 'On your radio' for the first time. It came out quite promising Surely we'll manage this one more easily than 'One more time', which still needs practicing.
For this rehearsal I changed radically my guitar sound, using only a clean, crisp sound. I just stepped on the GT2 unit for the "you gotta look sharp" sections. It was rather effective.

I planned to record that rehearsal, but the batteries of my Minidisc were dead, so only 2 minutes of useless chat from the beggining of the session has been recorded. This blog entry is only here to witness that a rehearsal took place in this day and age. And a good one too, with the best version of "Fit" we ever played so far. And for the first time we played a real, long, jam. Cool, but no recording.

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.

Some improvements happened during this reheasal: the drum solo in Look sharp is now smoking, we refined the bass part of 'Evil empire' (which got its first recording), we found an ending for 'Sunday papers' (and we used the mad acceleration ending just like in the live album) and we did a very great punkoid version of 'I'm the man'. Cool.

France 3 basement - 21:30-24:00 - P: Dude. Present: Dude, Thierry, Arnaud.
A very good rehearsal. For the first time my voice was well prepared so I could sing more easily. I also brought the acoustic for the first time, because we tried "Evil empire". I didn't record any take because it's still embryonic. "One more time" and "I'm the man" are still the songs that needs attention, but we did a very good "Sunday papers". Arnaud tried to play all the tunes with his fingers, instead of using a pick like all previous rehearsals.

Things are getting more precise: we tried "One more time" at a very fast tempo, and it's seems that 's just what was needed to make it rock. Plus my voice was quite warm and I managed to sing all the choruses in the high octave without getting tired and with a lot of energy. That one is going to be a killer live.
We started to work on "Fit". It's quite nice but I've got a hell of a lot of work to put into the guitar solo.
The other tracks went on as usual, "I'm the man" beeing the one that needs the more attention, yet.

Adding all the little comedy effects to this funny cover: my own speech, the voice of Thierry from the previous radio show where he defied me to do this cover, and some funny noises with guitar and piano. Very fun to do, and it allowed me to mix this cover and send it in time for it to be broadcasted live on the next day's show. Cool.

More rehearsal work with the New Trio. 'Look sharp' came out quiet well, but "I'm the man" is a wild beast we stil have to tame. But it is still better than 'One more time' which is the real challenge. We have to work, work work and then perhaps add a little work before being at ease with the crazy fast tempo of that one.

So now I had to work. So today I did the voices for the first verse. (the main voice in double-tracking and the backing vocals).

The very first rehearsal of the new trio. A lot of it was better than I expected, some things I thought would be cool were a lot harder to do. We rehearsed two songs: "One more time" and "Sunday papers". The first one needs more practice. We also did a loose version of 'Look sharp' (just for fun because I didn't work it out yet). I recorded the last two numbers of the evening.

Then I fixed some vocal parts on my Who project.

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.

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....

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 !

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.

2nd Live performance at the Beatles Day in Mons (Belgium)
Recording and filming: 'Getting closer'
Recording: 'Yer blues'
Recording: 'You never give me your money'
Recording: 'Maybe I'm amazed'
Waux Hall, Mons, Belgium - afternoon - P: the people in charge of the PA system. - Present: Dude, Marco, Jean, Coco, Ozzy, Olivier, Watching Wheels, Filou, Mathilde, Claude Nine, and a whole lot of people....
For my return to the Beatles Day I wanted to do something different than the acoustic set I did last years. So I managed to get Stef and Boz to accept to reform the Power Trio and come with me to blast away 4 wild songs: 'Getting closer', 'Yer blues', 'You never give me your money', and 'Maybe I'm amazed'. To my great pleasure, the choice of the stelist was a incredible success: a countless number of people came to me to say they have been delighted to hear 'Getting closer' live. To me, it was only the realisation of a dream. I feel fucking lucky that what I wanted as a dream as been so well recieved by the audience. Sometimes I'm blessed.
Thanks to Marco, Juan Jose Alva, Jean-Claude Hocquet, and the amazing Mathilde for the photographs.

Third rehearsal for the forthcoming Beatles Day 2006 performance. It was the first time I came to rehearse in the new and improved Gattaka playroom. The reahearsal was excellent. Very good overall sound (although my voice still hasn't recover). I tried to play on the Gretsch for a while, but it's lack of high notes prevented me from using it. (It sounded great on 'Yer blues', though). This has been recorded.

Recording: 'The deracined' (demo)
Recording: 'Black Sabbath'
Bag-end studio - all-day - P: Dude.
The first recording session since June. During the intermission, I moved, leaving not only the One-eyed Jack studio, but also my childhood home and land. It's time for a new beggining in a new place. Bag-end Studio is named like that because it is located on the top of a green hill which look just like the Shire. So be it. It took me a while to accomodate to the new place and actually record something. As an additional change, I permanently plugged my guitar into the Blue Devil. So for now on the guitar signal will non longer be directly injected into the computer. I also unearthed my old mixing board for the occasion.
The first thing I recorded in this new studio of mine is really just a rough demo of a two-intricated-guitars motif. For this I quicly set up the Blue Devil (Hell channel - Heat at maximum - Volume at 6 - EQ B-2 M+6 T+2 - Preset 9) and the GT2 (clean). I used the same setting (except Blue Devil preset 62) for the rough guitar of 'Black Sabbath'.
