9am
This was the first time we had woken up from the floor of the control room. Feeling rock'n'roll right now. We opened our eyes when the engineer Jukka Salovaara came back to his kingdom. Oh well, at least it was a short trip back to work for us. Setting away the mattresses and blankets and let the fun begin again. Starting to feel bit better and sharper, since because of the night shifts that yours truly is working in my day job, I really didn't get more than three hours of sleep for Thursday before packing up the van and leaving to studio. Then because of blown tire I went straight back to work 2 hours late and as soon as the shift ended on Friday morning, I drove back to studio without any sleep at all. So the weariness was that strong that I have no recollection from playing the guitar scratch track for Catharsis, but I guess that it still went decently even if I was half asleep. There was a moment when the rest of the guys decided to have a timeout when I kept constantly falling asleep while recording the scratch track and sent me to have a 20 minute nap.
So let's get back to this day. As I said, I was feeling like a human being again, even I felt bit like an human icicle, but it's nothing that some serious excitement and guitar playing wouldn't fix. If not, there's always sauna after the day, but I guess that we should do some work before that...
5pm
This is impressive, we're just a bit over halfway through our second recording day and drums, along with percussion, are done, ready and finished. I definitely have to tip my hat in that general direction. No we'll add some tambourines and extra bling
8pm
We are done, the guitar section migrates to sauna and drum section leaves back to Helsinki. Our bass player Janne was shooting a wedding today so he will be back on Monday. No harm done, since tomorrow will probably go by with adjusting and tuning the guitar sounds, so there isn't much to do outside the engineer and the guitarists. Would probably be really uninteresting to others
10pm
Brief grilling after the sauna. We had a dream that we could get away from Helsinki to more rural scenery and record the album in an atmospheric old building. I guess that this is pretty much what we wanted. Calm and relaxed vibes, feeling content and excited, sky full of stars above our heads and in the distance a rooster that crows. Pretty sure that the rooster had it's feed delivered from somewhere in the general direction on Columbia, if he thinks that it's dawn right now. Good times, still. At some point after shooting some shit, we'll head back inside, where I ended up having the control room all by myself, since my snoring could be felt in the recording room where the rest of the fled. Oh well, these things happen. Tomorrow we're starting the endless Via Dolorosa of guitars...
