Day 17 - New Jerusalem

This morning we finished the first mix of New Jerusalem. It kinda rocked, but I wanted to get a little bit more punch to it, so we put the rhythm guitars a little bit more up. Made a huge difference! The ending of the song was suppose to be a long fade-out, but when we where getting to the end of it, Rich had this cool idea to suddenly stop the music, and continue with the strings only. He made this cool lo-fi delay effect for Ted’s vocal going into the strings only section. Very cool!
At 15:00 Joe Holmes and his vocalist came in, so I moved back upstairs to my little ‘edit room’ to finalize the orchestral outtakes bonus track of the album. I thought of a work title: “HarmaSuite” just for fun, but it looks like that will be the name of that track.
The rest of the day I filled with working at business stuff for my music school, continued this blog, cooked some diner and watched a couple of movies. A good day!
