Day 2 - Recording Unnamed (2009)
Today was the second day of recording on the new worship project. The day started better than day 1, because I learned that getting lots of sleep is much better for recording music in studio. Per the direction of my producer Brian Thiessen, I slept in late and came in to the studio around 10:30am.
Another smart tip from Brian T was to drink lots of water and stay hydrated during recording process. So I made sure I had a couple of bottles there as the day went on. For energy during they day, he brought some apples, muffins and bananas. A quick bite of fruit was a great way to perk up the energy without sludging down the stomach. When I got tired later in the day, I took a bite of an apple to keep me going. Being in a recording studio, even bites of apples can get captured.
Apple bite sound- here is a audio sample of biting an apple. Lots of energy in those apples!
Today, we recorded 4 more songs for the project. Most of them were upbeat songs, all of them were written or co-written by myself. The songs were: In Your Presence, Let Everything, Run To You and Kingdom Rain. During the process, lots of creative decisions are made. Brian T sits here thinking about one of those such decision.
The day ended well, as I went to have a good dinner at the Canadian restaurant Swiss Chalet, a fun chicken eatery. I love the dipping sauce they have for chicken. If you ever get to Canada, try Swiss Chalet chicken meal. Fairly affordable and tastes good.
