“The Meeting”
“The Meeting” is the latest track I’m working on from the next album [The Week Begins]. It is decidedly non-traditional [well, unless you are in a Music Appreciation class]. The beginning section was recorded in the dining room at the house [as opposed to the OutHouse studio part].
If you were ever curious what it looks like to record something that is a little oddball, here are a couple of pictures.
It all starts with a plan… or in this case, a list.

I am fortunate enough to be able to control Studio One from a tablet – yes, I ran mic cables a good distance away to the OutHouse where the computer lives.
Yes, I got it [mostly] cleaned up before the wife came home. Didn’t want her tripping on the mess o’ cables!

Total time taken to record what will end up being about 60 seconds in the final version – about 3 hours.
I’m posting about the whole creative process over at TomsTypewriter.com, if you’d like to keep up. You can add your email to the list o’ folks who get notified when a new post drops over there [4 times a month, on the 7s.]
