All part of the adventure! week beginning 28/09/12
Week beginning 28th September 2012
So, the last of the tracks
are with the producer Clive Martin now……just the last mix tweaks to
go!.....getting closer now
These last few weeks i’ve
been out free tracking the last of the overdubs for the album. woo ha!
A disused 300 metre hop
railway tunnel, such an immense sound with a long decay, recorded drum parts
and backing vocals here.
Great example of free tracking ( recording in an inspirational location)
Singing in the dark with the imagination of what is in this tunnel? Scary…walked a little faster to get out of there!
About a mile hike along the old railway embankment as the autumn sun was setting.....
Lamberhurst church, such
history and an amazing thought provoking old building.
Standing in the middle
of the nave, on my own with the sound of the wind and the rain on the stain
glass windows. Then a moment of sunshine lit up the church.
The 2nd world war
pillbox out side Bodium castle, recorded some guitar and backing vocals here (
with the occasional child running in making machine gun noises)
Great
reflecting the sound of your voice off of the top of the ceiling. I bet when
they built the pillbox they were not thinking about recording vocals…especially
with a laptop?
Press is starting to roll,
momentum is great!

Microphone-box, Week beginning 16/08/12
How to get the sound of guitar in a phone box?
How can you make a kick drum sound massive ( go into the woods and KICK it) a haha
Or whack it with a big bit of wood!
These last weeks have been filled with video edits, story boards, photos, backing vocals, percussion and many many other moments that are going into the album.
....And to get a bit creative with the camera whilst recording ( video camera inside the kick drum, inside a telephone box )
And how about some major 80's style water on the drum....(blimey it was hot in that phone box!)
I have been entering some of the photos to obscure photo competitions:
Amongst lots of other promo stuff.
Things are all motoring along and i'm working with some really good people that are investing their time to make this album special!

Looking as good as they sound, week beginning 060812
week beginning 060812
Getting creative with sound
inspires art.
Finding locations that sound great also have many awesome visual features too!
I’m really enjoying the final stages of these songs.
.........and finding the right sounds to finish them off, hence why I am recording backing vocals in light houses and floor stomps in oasts.
Free Tracking! ( recording in an inspirational location)
Nearly 5 tracks mixed and finished now! Its been hectic, but fantastic!
This is really helping the video/film
take shape, as the album is the soundtrack to our adventure and the cycle journey
was/is the film of the recording.
Another week, another leap.
Forthcoming album:
….Just for the record
For anyone that would like to pre order a copy of the album, i have set up a pledge page. this is also a little help with the final production costs (a percentage goes to Great Ormond Street), here is the link: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/paulcheese
Thanks for looking!

The best place to record a drum kit? Week beginning 240712
Week beginning 240712
The best place to record a
drum kit?
1. A phone box in a quiet street
2. A recording studio
3. In the middle of the woods
4. Top of a hill
5. Don’t play a kit, play a bike…..
The album is like a giant
jigsaw puzzle with all the parts recorded all over the country, some parts
close recorded, some experimental recorded and others just “capture the moment”
Such a milestone, from the
initial idea, to being able to hear and be proud of the results!
….Just for the record
For
anyone that would like to donate, I have set up a pledge page for a little help
with the final production costs of the album (a percentage goes to Great Ormond
Street), here is the link: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/paulcheese
I also
have a Just giving page for donations direct to Great Ormond Street:
The whole
trip has been self funded (so it should be ) but any help with the final
production costs would be much appreciated!
