Pawn Takes Pawn

Chad Stockdale and his amazing saxaphones.

Tuesday night consisted of vanila cola, salt and pepper chips, and a bunch of saxaphones.

Chad needed a 1 minute long track recorded fairly quickly, so i invited him over to do it. He brough over an old synthesiser, and three saxaphones. an alto, tenor, and a bass clairinet.

His idea was to have the synth going, and overbub everything over it.
easy enough. we used my cd player as a timer, at 5secs i counted down to 10 secs, at which point Chad started up the synth. it made a pulsating tick noise, it sounded wet alomst, kinda like driping water..then at 1:05 i counted down to 1:10, at which point he stoped the synth. the counting was on one track so we could cue him later on and the synth to its own track.

Next up was the bass clairinet. I used my two mk219's for this. one close, one further back, each to its own track. Chad can realy belt out the sax parts loud, so it wasnt hard to get a nice sound. we had to time it because chad wanted to end all the sax's at the spot where the synth gets crazy.

So we got that nailed down, and was abnle to get chad a mix that he was happy about too. Its soo much easier only working on one song.

In other news, the Audio Calendar is finaly in a spot where it looks like everything is making sence. My ideas are being followed up with
extensive charts and lists.

So what im thinking is a park show for the release of the cd. more on that soon. but ive come up with the layout of the packaging, and possibly a track listing....
