Filming-day! We had cameras here to record a "making-of" and interviews. Meanwhile Samoel, El Silbador and Falk had to record their instruments.

 

Our pace in recording is very good and the results are great. Beside all our work here we do a lot of documentation and we started to prepair some new songs with drums, guitar and bass. 

We are hard at work for our new cd. With lots of space in the whole studio everybody can work on his own, prepair his instrumental parts or just relax a bit after work is done. Here you can see some impressive hobbies - Samoel enters the billiard-table to get the best shot and Falk rests whole filming himself.

We introduced our new member today - "Jean Mechant, genannt der Tambour" - who will play percussions at medieval markets with Saltatio Mortis. Two weeks ago he recorded percussions for our new record "Wer Wind sät". Very cool to have him on board.

Samoel did acoustic-guitars the whole day and now Falk is doin' his first track with the hurdy-gurdy (yes, that's one of the instruments he plays).

The Saltatio Mortis - Podcast is now availble at the iTunes-Music-Store. 

Get it here (if you use iTunes)! - They are also available in my video-section.

As I told you before the whole band is in the studio most of the time now. Falk is prepairing his lines today while Elsi (El Silbador) did lots of pipes. Watched "Star Wars IV"-DVD in the late evening.

Lots of acoustic guitars and some pipes were recorded today. In the evening we played some billiard while Lasterbalk practiced drums. 

After that Samoel, Trosi and Lasterbalk got this "lightsaber"-application for their iPhones and battled each other in the relaxing rooms of the studio.

Back in the studio. After I picked up Trosi at the train station around noon we drove to the studio und after some soundchecking we had lunch! :-) 

After that we began to record-acoustic guitars for one song. Then El Silbador did the first pipe-recordings. 

Now it is late evening. Alea and El Silbador went to the cinema, Samoel is working out acoustic-parts for one song, I record videos into my harddisc and Trosi has some talk with Lasterbalk somewhere in the studio dungeons.

It is the last day of the first block of recording "Wer Wind sät". We had to clean our rooms after breakfast because we have one week off until we start tracking acoustic-guitars, pipes and all those medieval instruments. During the day one part has to be re-recorded on the drums and after some mixing-action Samoel recorded nice acoustic guitar-lines with Trosi. The diary will be continued next week.
