recording diary 03/07/09

we three shirley kids (read: me, joe, ean) spent the eraserheads evening recording new material at joey santos' famed love one another studio. aside from the early acoustic guitar jangle c/o the morris parlor guitar, it was a multi-drive pedal kind of night. we used (in no particular order): a zvex fuzz factory, a vox cooltron duel overdrive, a tech-21 gt-2, a proco you dirty rat, and the beautiful bluberri drive pedal. and instead of going back to the themesongs strat-dominated sound, we used our newly acquired maison lawsuit sg standard, and joe's neck-thru vantage. hooray for new gear hehe.

some interesting moments include:

1) pancho asking - "wala ba kayong mga kanta na may distortion?" leading to a bit of fuzz factory overkill haha

2) the new palm-muted chording in nakauwi na and the lessons learned by engineer joey from his boy elroy recording experience

3) pancho stating "you are such a mammal"

4) ean stating "nonsense yung b-string mo e" (band conflict! haha)

hahaha.

pics!

joey documenting the scene, ean tracking with the vantage, and joe chilling.

when we recorded themesongs at loa, they didn't have any of this gear yet haha

engineers pancho + wacky having a well earned panciteria san jacinto break. note pancho's penchant for calamansi.
