Mixing upcoming album SIRKUS: Day 9

'Sweden slow' was finished first before moving on to 'Bring your arrows'. We first recorded 'Bring your arrows' last summer but we weren't pleased with it so we recorded a new version at Martin's studio in november and it went a lot better. We changed the arrangement completely, took away the guitars and added a grand piano that we recorded in a living room. Once again, Martin was there when I needed him - it's hard to persuade a studio guy to move a lot of his stuff and set it up in a a small apartment! (see the first picture.)

A the pizzeria I finally asked them to do a baked in vegetarian pizza and they agreed to make one for me. I got a pen too where it said Hasslarps Pizzeria, now how about that? What a place.

In the evening we started with Movie (about solitude and grace) - a slow folk-ballad that's going to need some work when we arrive tomorrow. Mixing is not easy, like Bo's former bassplayer Ådi once said: 'mixing sound is like beeing friends with everyone'.
