Impossible Situations in de studio (3)
En het gaat maar door! Er wordt nog altijd hard gewerkt aan die eerste Impossible Situations-plaat. Wij citeren even van de nieuwe website situations.nl:
“A few years ago Abel (NIRC, Try Drowning, Piranha Hotella) and I wrote some songs together: he wrote the music, I wrote the lyrics. One of those songs, ‘Don’t Know How To Say This’ meant a lot to me, because I wrote it about someone very special. So I decided I wanted the song on my album, and I asked Abel to play the acoustic guitar.”
“He came over to my humble home studio in Amersfoort and within a few takes we were all done. On the screen here: Guitar Rig, excellent software if you don’t have room for a real guitar amp. But in this case just used as a tuner…”
“I think the song will be somewhat to the end of the album, since it’s really quiet and sad. I’m very happy Abel could find the time to play guitar for me – one more step towards finishing the album.”
“Sander is helping me out a lot with his technical knowledge and a good set of ears. It’s good thing we live in the same house, because I have to call him out of his room every ten seconds with some stupid question about Logic. After a few “Sandeeeer? Saaaandeeer!!” he then slowly walkes into my room, with some sarcastic smile/frown on his face and all he does is stare at my screen(s) for a while. Just long enough for me to discover my stupid mistake. Oops. Thanks. You can go back to bed now.”
“Mixing twelve songs isn’t cat piss, as we like to say in The Netherlands. After a long night your ears are too tired to hear the difference between a great impressive drumsound or a overproduced wall of noise and reverb.”
“Colors are the solution for me. Brown is for drums, red for beats, yellow for bass, blue for guitars, green for vocals and purple for synths. So I guess you can kind of figure out what this song sounds like. Rock. And. Roll. Baby.”
