After a bacon and egg and sandwich and a morning cup of tea we were all ready to put our brains together and start the process of creating an album within 24 hours.
Ben pressed record at exactly 9.54 am this morning with a trumpet solo by Beth Holloway.
The house shortly turned into musical chaos with people fracturing off into different rooms for simultaneous song writing. The first song to go down was a solo effort by Ben, shortly followed by the more raucous "Adelaide". then Jamie's first offering went down whilst Dan and Heather were composing using pure chance as the writing technique. Numbers written on paper depict different chords for the verses and different notes for the melodies, whether they be glock or vocals. It's certainly interesting and sounds surprisingly good. Wayne was composing some terrific lyrics to Dans accordion written "Jestyn". Some songs are being written at great length whilst others are coming together more quickly and getting laid straight down such as Ben's next offering with myself (Doug) and Dan layering up a percussive storm over the top. So at the moment we have about 6 or 7 tracks down, not all of them recorded, it is hard to keep track.
So I have to go back and record again now as Ben just had an idea for some drums to Jamie's song that we recorded earlier. Best get back to it. Will update again later!
Toodle pip.
