on saturday night i went back for more of the film festival. i watched dig!, which is an enthralling rock documentary about the on again - off again relationships between the cult bands the dandy warhols and the brian jonestown massacre. i was completely immersed in the lives of these people for the full two hours. it's premiering at pretty much every major festival in north america at the moment. wicked good movie.i got home (actually ashby's) and checked out the various related web sites for the main films, the festival etc. the ashes were actually featured in 3 or 4 of the sidewalk scrambler films last year. interesting stuff.
i did some baby sitting for ashby's dog. tried to do some editing for the album, but all i really got to was editing the piano on "bad luck" (which is a working title), and the picked guitar part on the chorus. the bass is tighter now, and the drums are "ok" sonically.
david's perfomance pretty much makes the song. i've decided to reverse a previous choice of mine about sequencing some piano/ synth parts. obviously i would like to do most of the piano tracks on a real piano, which will happen to a point, but some of the songs for various aesthetic reasons will be done on a sound module. even though the performances are great, i think i'd rather re-record the piano-module parts via sequencer first, that way i can edit against the kick and snare, and therefore lock into david's excellent groove. i've been a purist for so long now, that i don't even have a midi interface anymore. time to go shopping.
