Ashley has some Sax
Ash went in and recorded his saxophone parts. Here's his account of the day:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 solid hours later, the cd took casual steps closer toward a finished product. When we first fired up the tunes - Promise You - even the producers were impressed as to how good the product sounded before mixing.
some stats for ya:
- early mornings: 1 too many (started recording at 11)
- bruised lips due to excessive saxophonism: 1 slightly used set
- songs soldiered through: 7
- hours of song creation: 4.67
- quasi-friendly dogs that howled like a lovesick wolf every time the sax was played: 1
- incredible epics/experiences: 1+
The thing about recording is that you really don't know that you're "in the moment" until you really take a step back and realize that your performance may be listened to by more people than the producers that are in the room with you. It's a really uplifting, motivational, mind-blowing and surreal experience that makes you feel like you're contributing to something that, in some small way, is that much bigger than something you'd be doing on your own. This was my first time (kinda) recording and I've enjoyed it so much that I'm almost willing to do it again.
