Hi!
Yesterday we finished the drum recordings. We did 16 songs this week! Andreas did a great job. We'll see if all the songs are good enough for the CD, but I think so. Today we had a rehearsal with the singers. It sounded great, and it was very nice to meet everyone again. After the rehearsal I went to my production studio and listened to some of the drum recordings. Whaaao, the drum sound was better than I thought. Tight and focused. I would have liked to have a larger room on some of the songs, but Johnnes will take care of that when mixing the CD. This is going to be nice friends! Tomorrow I'll have a day off, but on Tuesday I'll start editing the drum takes. I guess I will have to work with it at least a whole week, but I'm looking forward to it. On Thursday we might start recording some of the singers, the altos. We won't record all the singers at once, because we don't have that many mics that are good enough.
Good night!

Bomb outside the studio!
Hi friends!
Today we had some real action outside the studio. We were down in the studio recording a song and Joakim was just about to arrive. Then he called us and told us that there were lots of Police cars outside the studio and that they might need to evacuate the building, because they had found a bag containing something that could be a bomb. Joakim couldn't get in and we couldn't get out. Ironically, we were just recording a song called "Get Out!".
Eventually, Joakim managed to get in and we met him at the door and did this little video clip:
This is where the bomb is:
Right after taking that picture, two policemen came running against me, shouting: GET INTO THE BUILDING, GET BACK INTO THE BUILDING! We almost ran into the house again and down to the safe studio. Pheeew!
Then we kept on recording. We did four songs today! Isn't that good?
This is Andreas laying down the beat on the "Get Out!" song (check out the hi-hat, it is made of two 17" crashes... BIG hats!):

Early morning
Hello again!
It is early morning, and I'm in a hurry. Our recording session starts at 8:00 today. Tomorrow is our last day in the drum studio. We better get things done now...
Yesterday, Andreas and I were in the studio for 14 hours. We recorded four of Joakim's songs. One song ended up with a nice latin beat. It wasn't that easy... At first it sounded terrible. We almost wanted to stop playing music. It was that bad. Finally, we realized it was the computer. Everything that was recorded was played back with 50 milliseconds delay. After rebooting the system, it sounded great!! Check out the video.
Today we need to do at least three or four songs. This is hard work, but we always have a very, very nice time in the studio. I'll get back to you later.

Drum recording
Hi!
This week, we are recording the drums for our upcoming CD. We are in a very small studio in a church in Stockholm. This is because we want to have a really tight and controlled drum sound on most of the songs. Yesterday we recorded four of my songs and today we recorded one of Joakim's songs, and a short interlude that might fit in somewhere between the songs on the CD. This is gonna be great!! We also talked about the rest of Joakim's songs, so that we can start recording them tomorrow. Phew, we have a lot of work to do. Still at least ten more songs to track... Check out the video from our session. Andreas still keeps his gospel chops up to date! :)
Blessings, Tobias

The recording has started.........
This week has Andreas and Tobbe started to record the drums, nice and slowly "the Mission Field" starts to take form. I don´t know how they are doing but I will tell them to give all of us a update here on the blog. Tonight we have a rehearsal in Örebro with the singers. For those of you who don´t know, we live in two different citys in Sweden, Stockholm and Örebro. And those of us living in Örebro meet for rehearsals here and those of us living in Stockholm meet for rehearsals there. And then all of us meet more seldom and sing together. So tonight it´s just us Örebro people. Lets see how that works out.......
