The Rabbit Hole

English version below the pictures

Jeg ved ikke, hvad I laver i efterårsferien, men jeg indspiller på livet løs indtil kl. 14. Så rammer ferien også her.

I studiet kan man jo lave 1.000.000.000 ting. Man kan blive ved med at tweake, pille, pusle, ændre og justere, så man aldrig nogensinde får gjort noget som helst.

Derfor er deadlines så utrolig vigtige.

Jesper og jeg skulle have indspillet i dag, så jeg har knoklet med at lave tracks, der lyder godt. Det betyder helt simpelt, at der skal være klare idéer hele vejen igennem, så vi har noget at spille ud fra.

Men Jesper endte i et rabbit hole og skrev til mig kl. 5 i morges, at nu gik han i seng.

Så pludselig havde jeg lidt mere tid.

Jeg starter altid dagen med at lytte til det, jeg lavede i går.

Så langt nåede jeg ikke i dag.

Jeg kom nemlig til at lytte til det kor, jeg indspillede i går. Ideen er, at Jesper skal spille en solo hen over det. Men jeg syntes ikke helt, at det voksede nok.

Så her tre timer og 37 korstemmer senere synes jeg faktisk, at det har fået en ret fin opbygning.

Tænk at have 37 korsangere.

Her får I lige en lille bid af det a cappella.

God efterårsferie! 🍂

I don't know what you're all up to during the autumn break, but I'm recording like crazy until 2 PM. Then my holiday begins too.

There are about 1,000,000,000 things you can do in a recording studio. You can keep tweaking, fiddling, tinkering, changing and adjusting things forever, without ever actually getting anything done.

That's why deadlines are so incredibly important.

Jesper and I were supposed to record today, so I've been working my ass off getting the tracks ready and sounding good. Basically, that means making sure there are clear musical ideas all the way through, so we have something to work from.

But Jesper went down a rabbit hole and texted me at 5 AM to say he was finally going to bed.

So suddenly, I had a little more time on my hands.

I always start my day by listening to what I recorded the day before.

I didn't even get that far today.

Because I happened to start listening to the backing vocals I recorded yesterday. The idea is for Jesper to play a solo over them. But I didn't quite feel they were building enough.

So here we are, three hours and 37 vocal tracks later, and I think I've finally got a pretty nice build-up.

Imagine having 37 vocal tracks.

Here's a little taste of it, a cappella.

Happy autumn break! 🍂
