Writing and pre-production has been going on for several months. Because everyone is in different cities, the songs have been written and demo'ed in Steve's studio and mailed out. Roger and Colin have learned their parts separately; the first day in the studio will be the first time everyone will play the songs together. The plan is to play and polish the songs and then record them over 10 days at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington. Don Zientera will engineer, with Steve and Brian producing; drummer Darren Zentek (Kerosene 454, Oswego) is lending his expertise as drum tech. On Friday, Roger drives
in from Boston, bringing himself, a bass and a much needed van. Colin
flies in from Portland on Saturday. |
