Day Four- Lightning

Last night we sat outside under umbrellas with a warm rain falling around us sipping our drinks and talking over different low budget video ideas. I fell asleep to the distant rumbling of a thunderstorm and today though there is not a hint of last nights moody weather, after putting some finishing touch acoustic guitar on the last verse of ‘empty’ we are working on ‘lightning’. Roger had the very cool idea that we should create drum beats and percussion using static sounds to relate to when the air is thick with electricity before a storm, so in England we mic-ed radios between stations and recorded the pluging and unpluging of various electronic equipment. We proceded to cut it all up and make samples.

Now in Germany we are working with those samples to make the perfect strange tense electric pulse for the song along with the tango snare roll that Christoph (Brandner, the drummer from Lali Puna and Console) played in the last recording block.
Now it is getting near evening and the sky is darkening again. I have seen a few flashes far off on the horizon.
