The first recording day

From 11 am to 11 pm exactly we recorded nonstop. 13 different instruments (if you don't count the handclap-section), 5 songs and only one day.

All musiscians did an amazing job, sightreading all of our charts. A big thanks also to James, our super-patient engeneer for the day, and of course also to everyone at Sanctum Sound Studios!

Here are the first pictures:
