And today we started

Posted on February 5, 2010

Alex and Mike were sleeping long this morning and while they were having their beauty sleep, I was working with Jetro in choosing the best keyboard tracks for some songs.

It was not too shiny weather today, nor that cold, but since we are completely surrounded by snow, we still had quite a lot of light, which definitely helps.

I like to work in this studio where you can see natural light, because lack of light makes us very sleepy.

Good news. The drums arrived today and Mike was very happy, as the rest of us.

I had some time to think about the artwork for the album as well. Everything seems to be in place, so there are going to be excited times ahead. We will be doing the photo sessions for the album cover and booklet in few days.

The drum recordings started with success. Mike did a GREAT job with the first song. Wow, it comes alive and the groove is already lot better than in our demo.

It’s incredible, I am happy. Alex was playing in the same room with Mike while he was recording and I was singing in the control room. It is easier for Mike to follow us and to get the whole picture and feeling of the song when the guitarist is playing and the singer singing at the same time. It took Mike just few takes when the song was completely laid down and the result is fantastic.

Soon we will all go to sauna to relax. I was the one preparing it ready tonight, I also put some wood to the fireplace, so that everybody can enjoy himself after a long day.

With love, Tarja

You have a very nice voice, but as a lyrical singer you leave soo much to be desired. And you are very ugly, just your fans said you don’ t but the reality for the rest pf the people is other: You have trunny face!! Simone simons is better than you!

Kisses

Hola, pues cada que salgo del trabajo, como a estas horas… ya 9 de la noche, leo correos y de paso veo el blog de Tarja, y me da gusto saber que estan haciendo trabajo duro, armonioso y sobre todo en equipo para entregarnos (me incluyo) a sus seguidores y admiradores de su musica, otro proyecto bien planeado y con buen sonido.
Mi sugerencia, que tarja use colores fuertes en sus videos, fotos y portadas o vestuarios. Y aprovechar las bondades de la voz de Tarja en sonidos elevados y agudos… aprovechar la buena musica y los buenos musicos para envolver su voz con algo mas ritmico y buenos arreglos de teclados. Pero yo me inspiro de ustedes, asi que sigo su trabajo y acepto lo que sabemos que sera un disco masterpiece

Saludos
