Painting and recording

About two weeks ago, Dad was kind enough to drive Örebro. It has been two very busy weeks. I’ve cleaned out the old office at Fascination Street Studios, painted it, bought furniture and such.

Just as the office was about done and I was about to start working on a website for our music management experiment Jens asked me if I could help him with some studio engineering and so I was taught some Pro Tools and recording basics. I was a bit stressed over this since the Amon Amarth production he was working on was already behind schedule. But today while he was away I took over the control room and help with recording bass for two tracks. It was a kick not to make an arse out of myself.

The guys from Amon Amarth are nice guys and it’s not like their music is astrophysics if there even is something called that. Probably bass is the easiest part of an album recording anyway.

I Örebro will be an exciting new chapter in life and I know it will be fun to work close to a good friend. We even share beds right now. Jens claims I make noises when I sleep. Jens himself sleepwalks and has nightly visions. Two days ago he claims he saw me walk through a wall.

Sweden is pretty hot at the moment and the control room is the only room that is air conditioned. The office where I work is horrible and the computers don’t make it much better.

In a week or so I will go to the west coast and then to the Sweden Rock Festival where I used to work a few years ago.
