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'.

I wanted to do this for a long time: play at the Beatles Day in Mons, Belgium. I sang four songs, all taken from Paul McCartney's last album "Chaos and creation in the backyard". For 'Too much rain', I sang in duet with Phil Calico. 'Friends to go' I did on the uke, to gave it that George harrison feel Macca talked about, and I did 'Vanity Fair' both on guitar and glockenspiel, while singing at the same time. I just loved that day. full of friendship, good vibes, and the evening show was fantastic.
Thanks a lot to the whole Beatles Day team, to Marco and Clo for the photographs, to Calico, and to all the wonderful Yellow-subians I met that day.

This Minidisc unit + stereo microphone is a gem. The kids in this are marvellous, as always.

One-eyed Jack - afternoon - P: Dude.
Doing the vocals for those three songs. The George one was quite easy, I expected the backing vocals to be more tricky. The John one was very pleasant to do. And the Paul one was very hard. I think I did the basics, but I'll probably had one or two more attempts to the process.

One-eyed Jack - afternoon - P: Dude.
A whole afternoon dedicated to the bass. First , I put some basswork on David's 'Wreck of the hesperus'. It's been quiet a challenge, since David is a little bit tuned lower as my guitars usually are, so I had to retune my bass for this number. Also, the tempo is getting faster as the song goes on, so I had to concentrate to match it. Then I added bass to my own 'Getting closer', and I started a new cover from scratch: the famous 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds'.

One-eyed Jack - afternoon - P: Dude.
I decided to create a suite of 7 strange weird audio pieces, and to put them on YSn. For each one I invented a title with a pun, each one containing the name of a note. I did the complete first piece: two tracks of bass strings scrapped with a pick, one track of acoutic guitar playing variations around a Cmajor chord, and one track of electric guitar laughing out loud. The whole with was then heavily treated, and published as is, having been previously reversed backwards :)
'Iron man' was another instrumental by Maxsilham from Ysn, onto wich I added vocals. I took a blast trying to reproduced the metallic voice of the intro of the song. I think I pulled it out.
Finally, I started to lay down some basics for the 2nd movement of my little mini-series: 'Le Ré pulsion'. This time I used one track of djembé, and one track of finger cymbals.
