Day 06

More drums and lot more guitars today ... no, I am not lazy :-)

I will record my lines when Samoel (who will record all the guitar and guitar-like instruments) needs a rest during the upcoming days. Alea came over to visit us over the weekend and hear the first stuff coming together on tape ... ok, harddisk! During pauses I practiced billiard and ate cheesecake - you see we work really hard.

Day 05

Lasterbalk checked out drums for one song and I did bass, fretless and upright on 5 songs the whole day. Watched the final-match of the welsh international Bowls-Tour in the evening after work was done.

Day 04

More drums were finished in the morning. After that we did guitar-soundcheck and got 2 really nice sounds for rhythm-guitars. Until evening Samoel did rhythm guitars for 1,5 songs (which is a lot of work) and they rocked. This evening had no Bowls on tv.

Day 03

Last night we watched some sports-tv and were fascinated by this game called "Bowls".

Samoel and myself had to get up early because of an appointment at Modern Music School Bruchsal but we were back by breakfast-time. Then Lasterbalk did drum-takes until lunch - Holger left at noon and Samoel short after him (he had to teach).

After lunch we decided to do bass-soundcheck and I recorded two of the songs. We finished the day with drums, pizza and some more "Bowls" on tv.

Day 02

It's night and we had a very dense day of drums, drums and more drums (between we had lunch of course). Holger, the drummer I work with a lot is also Lasterbalks drum-coach, is here too to assist him with all his work. At the moment we're on song number six (in 24 hours!!!). The plan is to start with bass tomorrow.

Day 01

We started the day with breakfast and then we did some drum-set up and sounds. Lunch was very good today. Samoel created his guitar-world and Lasterbalk did drum-soundcheck in the evening. I was assisting our producer Trosi with preproduction-mixing for the ProTools-Sessions.

At the moment we're tracking drums for the first song - sounds very good!

We are in the studio!

Finally, we're in the studio! Tomorrow we will begin to get drum-sounds and maybe record some drums :-)

The good old coffee-machine is still there - should be a very good and relaxed recording-session for "Wer Wind säet".

Countdown to move into the studio

In one week we will move into the "House of Audio" studios again to record our follow up album to "Aus die Asche". We will do a new Saltatio Mortis-Podcast (this time not only for the studio!). Here are some pictures of writing the songs for it.

Last demo work

We

are at work with the last tracks for our demos before we go into the studio to record the album songs. This week we did some vocals with Alea, some electric guitars with Samoel and today I have El Silbador in the studio to have a look at some of the pipe-melodies.

After that we'll do the last mix and everybody will get the logic-projects for practicing and preperation.

New album title revealed

If you bought a ticket for our tour in october 2009 you already know the tour name which is the same as the new album. The album will be called: "Wer Wind sät"!

We have a lot of songs to record when we will enter the studio in february!

Tourdates announced

In my tour-section the tourdates for 2009 are online (more will come). In october 2009 we will tour with the new Saltatio Mortis album in germany, austria and swizerland.

During that tour we will play 15 shows and also shoot a live-dvd.
