Rain...Rain...Rain.....
Hi from the command deck at Skyhook Sudios, it's pouring with rain outside and I'm reflecting on a busy week here, much has been achieved in terms of housekeeping work and background preparation for the next few weeks.................
It was great to see Simon Tittley ( http://simontittley.co.uk ) and chat about engineering and mastering! We ended up checking out the Kush Audio Clariphonic which looks like a great piece of kit for the mastering process.

Pre-production work continues with David towards the Cosmic Glue project. We've narrowed down to 14 songs for the album and been busily collating the recordings, sketches and samples. David has been playing through the tracks, locking down tempos and arrangements and some truly musical moments.
I've also had the pleasure of importing 24track recordings from the late 1970s made at studios in Holland, it's great to hear how well recorded some of those sessions were and lush analogue drum sounds that stand up today. This project is exciting as it spans across a few decades and I'm always touched by the emotional journey which is runs through David's work.
Visits also from Cass and Celina who spent a worthwhile evening recording more vocal tracks and a visit from Matt Brawley too.
