Yesterday I had another great chapel session with the media team. It was really interesting, the artists we had performing this time were completely different compared to Richard Watson, who performed in the chapel couple of weeks ago.
The Selurians was the band that we were recording in the chapel this time. This bad was a rock band, so it did involved a lot more microphones and instruments being set up. At the start, we were listening to the band practising, then it came to recording the session.
The session however wasn't as easy to record as the team expected. Despite the band sounding confident about their material, when it came to the session, the band was very disorganised. At many times, they stopped in the middle of recording, mostly due to the timing being wrong.
The first song, due to the lack of organisation, needed 9 takes.
The second song was much better, there were only 4 takes after the band was satisfied, however, lack of organisation was also there.
But over all, the band's songs were really good. If not the organisation problems, this would've been a perfect chapel session.
But the band was great, and I would love to have another session with them.
Nice one Hubert, concise information on the blog, and I agree. I'd like to have another session with them as well.
ReplyDeleteIt slightly annoied me about the amount of ciggerette breaks the band took, but I suppose that could be overlooked.
Thanks,
Kieran.
Hi Hubert. I really liked the detail and how you wrote a lot of information. I thought it was good however you could have gone into a bit more detail on what was involved on the technical side.
ReplyDeleteAs kieran said, the cigarette breaks were anoying lol, and as Victoria said the information is concise and to the point, but there could have been more detail on the technical side. Also, fags are not important for production processes! :)
