lake district

over the weekend samples were recorded in the lake district for this project
they consist of water sounds, bird calls and foot steps
these with go in between songs and occasionally during

drums

Last night I recorded drums for Tzoots and Drift with drummer Ben Wallbanks
Neumann M147 at the body of the kit, just above the kick and a
Rode NT4 centre middle overhead
in a beautiful sounding room

guitar

i found that recording my acoustic guitar doing the exact the same thing as my classical and panning them separately sounds full and interesting

space

i've been trying out different spaces to record backton shore
like Brain Deck, I would like to experiment with different rooms to record the first song
i've found an area that gives my djembe a very fat sound but guitar and vocals don't sound so brilliant in there

interwinders

started writing some very short pieces of music to go in between songs
the first one is about two people connecting sexually using metaphors of the sea
as this intewinder joins two of the later songs on the album the words in the verses don't form sentences
it's greater meaning is about the interconnectivity and unity of everything, oneness and love

Lips of drifting tidal

Ripple roll away

Glisten

Touching body braking

Slowly surge and swell

Splashes, remind us

We are not the droplets

We are all the sea

flute

with the recordings of a tapping flute
i made a bass sample and percussion samples
then i made a bass line and beats to drift
