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.

Beat Samoel 3 times in billiard after breakfast, then went to the couch to re-organise our multi-media stuff on youtube and myspace. started to cut new podcasts which will be released very soon.

Rest of the day was filled with, recording a drum-part, arranging percussion-recordings that were recorded the day before, pre-mixing and after dinner (Lasterbalk made some real good food) we listened to all the songs to check if all is ok.

We released a new podcast-trailer that you can find in my video-section. The trailer shows the studio-footage, "Aus der Asche"-tour-backstage material and some scenes of our songwriting-sessions or the new album "Wer Wind sät" which we record at the moment.

More podcasts coming up.

It's day 12 and we finished electric guitars today, which means we did drums, bass & e-guitars for 14 songs in 12 days!!! After lunch we started tracking percussion which means a whole dimension of sounds and rhythms for the songs. As you see we have much fun here.

Some of you may have recognised that we have a lot of apple-computers here in the studio which is now our so called mac-world. This morning more products were delivered (Trosi and Samoel ordered last week) and now we have four iphones here. 

Oh back to our work here - I finished my last tracks (with the chapman stick) today and Samoel did more electric guitars while Lasterbalk wrote more studio-diaries for our website and did office work. Alea, Falk and El Silbador were also here too today to visit, have some talk and practice. In the evening we had also a visit from our friend Kosho (guitar-player of the german band "Die Söhne Mannheims").
