Last night we recorded the basic tracks for the final three songs in this project. As always, we had great fun in the studio, and Ben the engineer was really good at getting the sounds. He’s easy to work with, a night owl like us – and it was just so nice not to have […]

Watercolor Day
What if you could see the earth’s history compressed into just one day? Imagine the sun rising in the east, life beginning and changing shapes: plants fill the oceans, followed by fish, animals and birds.

Recording Again
Yes, this recording has taken way too long, we started it nearly a year ago! Well, we did basic tracks at that time, and then suddenly summer was upon us and we performed a lot of shows. So busy – and you know how time just dances away when you’re having fun. It’s always the […]
