The Turn-studio session

Img_4171x As promised, here are the pix from Wednesday night in the recording studio. The Turn is working on a new CD! The Turn blog on their my space page has all the details as to what’ going to be on the new album, plus some really great compliments about me!! Love those guys- not only do they totally ROCK, but they are really so nice and fun too. I had the best time in the recording studio (okay, I do have to say that it is just hysterical that I was in the recording studio–who is it exactly that I think I am??!) and it was a whole interesting new world for me. To see how much work goes into it- I never knew. Brian said they were in the studio for something like 120+ hours to record the 30 minutes of music on the first CD. Wow! George- the owner and engineer of the recording studio (called General Studios by the way) was so sweet and such a nice, nice guy. He apologized for the lighting (which worked fine anyway) and was so kind in answering all my questions about how things worked. He even tried explaining how the recording process worked on the computer and I kinda figured out that it was sorta like photoshop (layers) except for music instead of pictures.Img_4175x Img_4192x Img_4199x Img_4202x Img_4210pr64 Img_4227x Img_4234x Img_4270x Img_4291x Img_4144x Img_4275cbw Img_4295x Img_4342x Img_4333sc Img_4374x Img_4377x Img_4388sc Img_4208cbw Img_4401pr68_2 

The guys did some work on a bunch of their new songs (including Silhouettes, Billie Jean, Christiana, and Not to Worry– see, I pay attention) and I snapped away. Little bits and pieces of different things in each song. It seems that they were having an unspoken contest on who had the goofiest face. I think Pat won. Although, don’t I look so attractive in my earphones? Not a good look for me. At all.  Img_4218x  Img_4315cbw
