Recording in France - PART 2


Day two – first day of recording



Waking up to a beautiful sight of hills, trees and cows; that’s what we get here by looking out the window at nine in the morning. We get ready to mic up the drumkit and plug in the amplifiers. Then a quick ride to the supermarket, where we buy everything we like...especially TOETJES!
When we return to the house, there’s a dead sparrow laying in the grass. You’d think; what are the odds? As the album we’re recording is called ‘Battle the Sparrows’!
After breakfast we have a quick look around in the village. A hill brings us up to a nice view over the big cornfields. On our way down we decide to explore around the house a little bit more. We just slip under some fences and find ourselves another ruin wall and six cows. We decide to get the rusty old guitar from the house and play a song to go on film. An amazing audience those cows… they really seem to listen. I think the cows are an important part in this story, since there’s not much more livelihood around. 




Recording is going pretty good and most of all quickly. A couple of drumtakes and we have it all settled for Scream Louder. We decide, since we’re in the recording flow, to record the second one straight after that.
We plug in the amps, guitar pedals and get ready for guitar recordings. Really awesome, as we use two amps on deafening volume, nice and handmade effect pedals and three different guitars. Guitars growling all over the peaceful hills of northern France.
