April 2010 - • the • o8o8 • project • meets for a couple of music- and fun-filled days in Hechendorf, tedeschia.
Three videos were cut from those sessions, showing how we played and recorded the first songs of the new album onto a 16-track-tape-recorder...which caused us some grief later during mixing, as we had to deal with incredible amounts of noise and hiss. Nevertheless the whole procedure - the modus of working - was very inspiring and a lot of fun.
  • The first video accompanies the development of a track that somehow slipped into a very pop-oriented love-song...
  • The second video shows Fabio going to his limits and beyond - tracking the different voices of the song played on the Ewi one after the other; in the final mix we did not use any loops - everything in the mix is as it was played live.
  • The third video describes the development of a pretty dynamic piece we titled childhood from the beginning, then renamed it to youth...go figure...
