Jane, Shona and Kerryn recorded five songs at EastCoast Studios in Coogee last week. We arrived a bit early and began our warm-ups in the courtyard, eliciting rude comments from passers-by. Then Jane did a marathon effort on the guitar tracks, which hurt her fingers a bit. By this time we were all melting as the aircon could only be put on between takes. Billy came to the rescue with ice water.
We had been thinking about having each voice seperately mic'd but in the end we went for one mic and we blended ourselves the low-tech way. This proved a bit tricky when we had the headphones on, which took some getting used to. In the end, we managed to get everything done that we had planned.
Here are the songs:
- Happy Together (The Turtles)
- More Than Words (Extreme)
- You Send Me (Sam Cooke)
- Closer to Fine (Indigo Grls)
- Only Living Boy in New York (Simon & Garfunkle).
I still haven't decided if I'm going to play the results for anyone or give anyone a CD. Will make a decision when it's mixed and fiddled with.
