'creepy (but in a good way)'

horsemouth working on music (it's sounding not too bad). it's always nice to work on someone else's tunes (in this case one of catastro/FILLE's ). horsemouth was aiming for a 'creepy (but in a good way)' kind of vibe (to quote dana's faith in their review of the blue oyster cult's magnificent  don't fear the reaper. horsemouth.claimed to be inspired by astronomy by them but when he played it to catastro/FILLE at the end she was horrified. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it's all sounding pretty good. but horsemouth won't be able to let you hear it for you for a while (until the tune is finished to catastro/FILLE's satisfaction), so you'll have to wait and make do with the photos taken in catastro/FILLE's apartment.(beautifully decorated by her own fair hand and with a built in home recording set up).

horsemouth took the resonator because for some reason it always records well. catastro/FILLE' recorded her guitar part then horsemouth recorded his two guitar tracks - one designed to pick out the melody on the verse (and add one to the chorus), and a track of harmonics and little bits and bobs to warm it all up.  the he also had a go on catastro/FILLE'S fretless bass  (hopefully some of that will be useful). 

this is similar to the way he often works with howard - howard will have a song, horsemouth will arrive (under prepared as usual) lay down a couple of tracks of guitar and then they will prune it until it makes sense and horsemouth sounds like a well-considered and economical player. (this is how they did amarach which remains his favourite so far). 

catastro/FILLE fed him (soup) and there were innumerable cups of tea and bourbon biscuits. when he got home the rough mix was waiting for him (and most excellent it sounds). he walked down to catastro/FILLE's and he walked back (probably about 4 miles all told). he got back just as his mum called (so that was good). 

----------------------------------------------------------

yesterday (before he went out) he had a bit of tidy round (why he's not sure). he wiped down a few surfaces that are apt to get dusty. he moped the kitchen floor. he tuned the 12 string up to eadgbe and stuck it in the case preparatory to taking it (and then decided against it). he found a 3/4 size guitar case on his journeyings recently and has put the telecaster copy in it. 

today. horsemouth has to have a think. things are tight on a project. it may not work as was envisaged as currently set up. he is up early. after effect of the coffee he had before going and the teas he had while there (and the general excitement of recording). anyways some emails in a bit.
