Keyboards - Day 1

After a 4-month break that included several moves, conquering southern France (and selected parts of the Mediterranean Sea) and infiltrating the Cloetta Center we were ready to continue our quest for world domination from the studio.

David, Mikael & Stefan met up around lunch time in the Clockwork studio, everyone very eager to start working.

Keyboards was on the schedule today. We started off by recording pads and massive choirs for the songs SPAWN and ROOM 101. Mikael, who was suffering from a minor cold, which caused him to be a bit on slow in translating chords from the guitar to the keyboard, had to make notes of all the chords and parts he was going to play. Neither David or Stefan understood this behaviour and uttered things like "du skriver ju bara" ("you're only writing") between takes to this poor man whose mucus was running like Forrest Gump.

Some media:

Mikael's brain-paper.


For a moment, Stefan's pure-metal-evilness from the dark side revealed itself.

G-flat; very important note, as you can see.


David - happy to be in the northern parts of the world and working on a smashing album!

Tomorrow we will continue working with the rest of the keyboard stuff as well as putting down some Moog. It'll kick some serious butt. Stay tuned!
