Out of focus




















Did you notice that our recording and mixing engineer Clint is often a little out of focus on our photos? He's all soft and blurry.

It's not the lenses - I've checked them. He might have eaten something strange. Maybe that Fondue was too much of a good thing for his Kiwi stomach? We will never know.

Thank you Woody Allen :-)!

Today is Jonas' birthday!












Our youngest band member is getting older too ;-). Let's send him a message!

In the booth

























This is my favourite place in the studio. It's cozy in the vocal/amp/drum booth.

In the can




















This is my personal monitor mix as I am recording the grand piano.

Amp Gate

Bass player defending his choice of amp for the session.



























When Bene brought this "postage stamp sized" bass amp instead of a real bass amp, Greg wasn't easily convinced.

The amp sounded, well, tiny, and made funny noises :-).

We still ended up using it for parts of a song. This is definitely the smallest bass amp we ever used on any of our recordings.

Control Room Guitars




















It's always fun to crank up guitar and bass amps in the studio. While the amp is fully miked in the live room, we play the instruments in the control room when overdubbing. Sometimes at more reasonable levels.
