This morning Mr McGhee started to produce the brand new song we've written, and he focused in particularly on the drum track to get it perfect - as it's the kind of track that is pretty much led by the drum track and the way it relates to the big string lines which are already sounding incredible.
The demo we had from the end of last week had a kind of 80s synth-y-style drum kit and we didn't want it to sound exactly like that, so this meant blending the electronic drums with something a lot more real, and a little grittier...
Anyway, the highlight of my day was when I noticed Sean's baby keyboard sitting in the corner of the room. Sean has been using this little keyboard for most of his life, as he's had for the past 15 years or so, since he was a teenager and he still uses it on a lot of his productions!
Sean and his teenage keyboard. Ah the memories. Ah.Anyway, the highlight of my day was when I noticed Sean's baby keyboard sitting in the corner of the room.

Anyway, I burst into laughter when I saw it, because I suddenly noticed that stuck above the left-hand speaker is a button badge of Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran. This also made me extra excited because I met Nick a few weeks ago and was really, no, REALLY cool! So to find out Sean was inspired by Duran Duran when he was growing up seemed very appropriate! I remember listening to them when I was 5 years old and loving it like crazy. Along with Wham! Ha ha... nice memories.
Nick Rhodes is the man. End of.More tomorrow...

LMAO!!!
The Duran Duran mention REALLY made me laugh :o) Being an 80's teen,I used to be a big Duran Duran fan...one of my fav DD tracks of all times was "The Reflex". I still really like it!
Anyway, jokes aside, I find that keyboard incredibly cute. In the same way that one finds the baby carrots and such cute ....Just because they are so dainty.
It's great to read all these updates, thank you, keep it up!
