    We've been tracking in Van Nuys.

    It took me ages to be able to pronounce that.Van NICE. There. It's easy.

    Tracking meaning, laying down tracks I guess, with a band. I haven't done that in a while either! I'm so used to working with keyboards, drum machines, samples etc that I forgot how warm a sound it can be to go all analog. So to speak. Not that I've given up on electronica all together. Oh no. I'm still dabbling on something secret for some as yet undecided project - but at the moment, the technology is taking a bit more of a back seat.

    I'm so partial to my keyboards though that I couldn't completely cut all ties with my love of the emotion a moog can bring. So yesterday, along with a bass player, guitarist and drummer, we had an array of vintage keys plugged in. So magical what a few carefully placed bits of atmosphere can bring.

    Got me all excited about music. Which is a good thing!
    xD

    I am getting really excited about this! Sounds like a return to <u>real</u> instruments!! [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

    A 'moog' is a synthesizer - a keyboard which can produce the sounds of different instruments and suchlike. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    Well............. it's been a while since I could give an unqualified thumbs up to something in Darren land. Real instruments are that something.

    Darren has a beautiful, pure voice, and I have often wondered why it was allowed to get lost in all the (sorry) noise of electronica.

    Real instruments ......... yeah!
