ARGH!!! We have one last tiny little spot to address, in 'feels to win' on Defiance and so far...meh.
Ok, so to explain - we left a gap in a song to add in a...a....
sound effect?
Sample?
Poetry?
Rap?
Additional Guitar?
Quote?
I've tried a few things, so far. Meh.
Bugger. It's the teeniest teeny spot and we've been stumped for 10 days.
I'm walking a line between 'omgz finish the #@#Y#*ing thing' and 'Don't rush it'
Far out.
I have no idea quite what to do at this point. So we ponder.
Whilst we think, we're also getting ready for the next part of the 5D project.
I am absolutely amazed how fast this project has come together. It'll take a while to do the post production, but the capture process is moving rapidly.
This coming weekend we will be heading to one of the darkest places in NSW, what astronomers call a 'light well', somewhere that the lights don't interfere with observing the stars.
The idea is for the lads (and lass! Jo's coming too! yay!) to view the stars, absorb the vibe and write and record a piece of music, under the stars.
Originally I was planning on doing this in two phases, but Brother Bill has no fear. Improvisation is where it's at.
There are some logistical challenges to consider, but in our form of exploration, we can plant a flag on anything we find and declare victory.
It's gonna be cold. If the weather holds we are going to see some amazing stars. Were going to take instruments, cameras, recording gear and Warm Undergarments and see what happens. Long John Stormcellar?
In a way, this is a bit of a flashback to the making of Carl's Chair, but at least for that the songs were written already.
Well, most of them. This time we're writing while we're there.
I have no idea how this will play out. Isn't that exciting?
Stand by for some pics and logistic blogs, plus I'll be facebooking some live vids and pics as we go.
I can pretty much say you'll be likely to see:

Stuff about stars.
Yeah. I'm looking forward to this.
Stand by for further transmissions!
