E-Heep
 





August 2nd 2004

Looking at what's left to do, I decided to start in on the remaining lead vocals this morning and we finished "July Morning" and "Illusion" before lunch arrived. The plan is also to finish "Rain" and "Weep in Silence" vocals today although I have a little experiment in mind for "Rain"… we'll have to see if/how that works out and I'll let you know!

Well, we didn't get there! I was so tired today (especially after a 15-hour day yesterday!) that we decided to come back to vocals tomorrow and use this evening to finish some guitar parts. We're getting close to finishing all of the recording and the plan is that Sasha and I will mix one song before I leave on Thursday so he has a frame of reference to work with as he organises and sets up the rest of the mixes. I'll be coming back on August 21st, after my solo show in St. Petersburg on the 20th, to finalise and master the CD so we'll have a chance to make any last minute adjustments then.

To add to the discomfort of having no air-conditioning in my hotel room, the toilet has decided to flush all by itself about every 5 minutes now so it becomes more fun every day!! NOT!! But I am so tired by now I think I'll be able to sleep through it anyway!! I'll let you know.

Next day...
