Awake From Dreaming

The Ministry And The Choir

Happy House

Recorded live in 2015, songs from Beautiful Savages.

Our approach for these latest recordings has been very 'old school'. We're trying to avoid the trap of 'fixing it' in the box so we have been recording live performances until we capture the moments we want to share. We have been recording stereo mixes straight from our 16 channel SAMSON MDR1688 mixer into an iPad. We are using the mixing desk's onboard reverb effect & a bit of delay supplied by a very old Alesis Midiverb II. We've been adding a bit of overdrive to the vocal which we ran through a EHX Graphic Fuzz. The rhythm section is controlled via a Digitech Jamman allowing us the ability to change the arrangement of each song to meet our mood as we play. Then the basic stereo recordings are put into Logic for a bit of EQ, compression and a tidy up before being mastered at www.landr.com

There is no overdubbing, what you hear on these recordings is what we sound like live. Dallas on keys & singing, Simon playing guitar while controlling the Jamman & singing. There will be mistakes along with the odd weird frequency here and there, but overall we're hoping to capture where we are now.
