AKS vs MBO Recording Session Vol. 2

I hung out with MBO last night and got to listen to the progress made on 2 new songs ("James Pain", "Aphid").

Last week, I had recorded some piano, farfisa, and a crazy sounding solo for "James Pain". Last night I heard the final version of that song, vocals and all. Ripping!

Then, we recorded keyboards for "Aphid", a strange but cool anthem-like song about, uh, Aphids. We layed down harmonium and piano passes and tweaked them through a Boomerang. (Boomerangs rule!) Next, we recorded several different parts using the classic MBO palette of piano, glock, celeste.

Good, clean fun.

Then, I made Adam and Craig stay up and we dissected both of these songs for use with the new AutoPilot project. It was midnight by the time I got home, but I couldn't help myself and took some of the vocal tracks and a Boomerang-warped piano file and started experimenting with TimeFreeze. Wow! The results were almost completely removed from the source and resulted in a huge pulsing soundscape. Weird. Awesome.

I need to read the manual and learn how to work with this app, but I can tell right now we're gonna be friends.
