Darren refuses to get sounds in a conventional way. Most of the sounds that you hear on the album, will have come from a process of trial and error. He may bring in 10 objects that he found in storage, and audition them all as percussive instruments. Anyone could do this, but bringing in a catering tray and turning it into something musical- that's a rare talent. Well done Darren.
We are trying to work at a different studio tonight. This studio has timpanis, a harpsichord, and pretty much any instrument you could ask for. I'm going to have Elsie come along and take real pictures so I can stop posting cell phone pics. Thanks for reading.

Soooo soooo excited! Is the record going to have the same sound and feel as the tune y'all did for the Autumn Dress Line for Red Velvet? Or is it completely different? Or can you not say? Haha.

That is definitely a rare talent. Really, really excited to hear what you've been working on!

Funny I was doing a search on the Crumar DP-50 (one of the many keyboards we have) and I wound up with a link to your blog. So glad I did, I really like a lot of what you are doing. cheers, Corrinne

You have no idea how happy it makes me that you found this blog by searching for a DP 50. Thanks!
