Finally! After months and months of practice, planning, logistic nightmares we finally got to the studio for the recording of the Year of The Rat, (though the album may be named something else - have not really decided on the name)
For most of the students it was a new experience, first time stepping in to a recording studio, so you can imagine all the cameras snapping away - you know everyone looking cool on their instruments in a room of warm lights, timber flooring and a rustic carpet...now you know why everyone likes to hang out in studios. Some pretended to be sound engineers (when Chee Meng the engineer was not looking) in the control room.
But it was great, we had fun, recorded 5 tracks - Fazly, Razak and Tony letting out in the smooth rock tunes of Left Behind and Happy Birthday, the younger ones - Afendi, Fauzan and Felix ripping it with the punk infused Goddesses and Onion Rings...with the solid Rock & Roller guiding them on bass, and of course finally our rose amongst the thorns Siew Yee who laid down her laid back hypnotic keys on VDentata after David and the Rock & Roller recorded the raunchy riffs and pulsating basslines.
3 takes each song , and I'm now going through them to choose the best to lay the vox and solos. Will be going back in to the studio to polish things up a bit while the vox students rehearse and the guitar soloists perfect their runs.
So happy practising guys...will let you know when we will be recording the Rat part 2.
