Juniper Lane in the studio (part deux)

I'm back in DC and I just finished up the photos from yesterday and posted them to Flickr.



You can view them here! These photos mostly feature Eddie, but Ted and Viv were also there and even Chris makes an appearance.

Overall, my experience in the studio was really fantastic. Sure, parts are boring, I pretty much listened to the same three songs over and over for 2 days (except for when I managed to have Alicia Keys stuck in my head/Eddie and I had Viv and Ted watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog), and I didn't get nearly enough sleep - but none of that really seemed all that important. I was lucky to be at the studio for the part where the songs come together; when a back-up vocal or another small touch is added and you can see how that's going to make the song stronger and better.

Thank you to Eddie and Viv, and especially to Ted for his hospitality. I hope I will have the chance to do it again sometime.

And Eddie says: "You can do it like a professional with ProCaulk". Viv says: "It will help you get into those hard-to-reach places."



Now that that's out of the way, I'm down here in Raleigh, North Carolina with Viv and Eddie working on 3 new songs. They've played one of them live at a few shows, when it was called The Battle of Franklin. The name will be changing as the lyrics have evolved, but it's a great song.

Currently we're waiting to hear some rough mixes of the three songs and then Viv might do another few passes at the vocals, and then Eddie's got some more vocals and perhaps a bit of percussion, then back to DC. Ted's in the studio now working on the mixes.

If you'd like to see some behind-the-scenes studio action, I've posted some photos from yesterday at flickr here. I'm taking more today as well!
