Third Session
March 31, 2005
Today we worked on the last few vocal tracks. I rerecorded the vocals for “Galatea.” Brian is going to come in and redo the percussion part for that one now that we have a better idea what we are going for in that song. “Bad Man Go Good” needed a new ending, and it got one. Finally, I sang “Ravens” again. Greg has a raven-in-flight sound effect at the end of this track that I like. Also, he worked out a tasty flute solo for it during one of the later interludes. The end is in sight!
I finally have a version of “Legolas” that I like! We recorded me performing at Greg’s acoustic piano. The feel and action of the keys are so different from those of my keyboard that I was inspired to do more adventurous things than I usually do during this song.
The isolation booth can get a little close after awhile, so it was a whole lot of fun singing it in the open space of the basement room.
This has been quite an odyssey and learning experience!
