Back in the recording studio
It’s so funny to read that some of you got nervous because I didn’t write in two days…come on. I am working here 
!
The photo session went really well and Jens Boldt did magnificent work again. Some of you will love it, others will freak out 
Few days ago I needed to say goodbye to lovely Will Calhoun.
He is just a wonderful personality and very supportive character. I enjoyed working with him a lot. I hope to meet him very soon again. Thank you Will for your kind words, effort and talent.
Today in the morning I returned back to the studio where Doug and Alex are recordings their parts.
Doug did a great job in the album song “Naiad” today. Bass is not only the supportive instrument on this album, but also it has a big role in being a mood creator. There is more than one song with two bass lines.
This is the last day for Doug in the studio and soon it will be getting quiet here again, since only Alex will stay with us.
Just few days ago there were 12 of us!
Anyway, I am really getting excited about the recordings because the songs are sounding already exactly how I wished them to sound long time ago. Just wonderful…
The same way that we did when Mike played his parts, Doug and Alex are playing together in the heavier songs while Doug is recording. That way it’s easier for him to get the correct groove of the song. The guys are recording in the control room where we all are present. It’s really cosy here.
Chris recorded a small Hammond feature in one of my songs. The song is very theatrical with tempo and key changes and needs all kind of crazy stuff and Hammond is definitely one of those elements.
There is a very old Hammond here in the studio and I wanted Chris to record with it even though I knew he has one of his own at his home studio. I just wanted to hear that old instrument’s massive sound.
Before Chris and Will left the place, they got to try out the snowmobile! Even though the one in the photo is Alex. I saw they had some fun for a while. There is lot of snow here to play with those machines! It can be dangerous though…
We are progressing nicely and fast
With love, Tarja

Just for the record (again), Tarja, I couldn’t be happier that you’re free to walk your own way now. Happy late V-day.
Ay, Almagest, if all your wishes came true that track would be THE prog-rock/metal extravaganza of the millenium. I’d just lower the stakes a little and drop the guest vocalists.
