Ling's Post

Finished the second studio date today, and I'm EXTREMELY happy.  So far, we've tracked drums, bass, and guitar (with scratch vocals), and it sounds great already. Keys and vox tomorrow.  The song we're recording is brand new so we spent quite awhile rehearsing yesterday.  My artist, Elise Vatsvaag, wrote the song in NY this past week with Jeff Cohen (from  Songwriter's Circle) and Sebastian Waldejer.  The band is very young, but very professional.  I'm very impressed with everyone's caliber of dedication and hospitality too.  Gosh, Norwegians are sooo nice.  I feel very well treated here. <3  

Some things I discovered while here.

1. I love brown cheese (caramelized goat cheese)

2. I do not love Nuendo, Pro Tools is so much better

3. Nick Sansano is extremely photogenic

4. Erik is obsessed with the Norwegian sweater pattern

5. Shane looks "hip" at all times - even next to a wall of sh*t (see picture)

6. NORWAY IS VERY EXPENSIVE
