Integration Sessions 2006

In 2006, we (Any Questions?) continued work on ideas for our new release, tentatively entitled Integration. MC2P4 and I (Ttam Troll) were doing some basic tracking at the old FFS II when this video was shot.

Here you'll see some behind-the-scenes footage of me recording some hi-hat parts and doing some computer mixing. You'll also get to see a quick cameo of Jackey McConnell as the camera moves out of the room for a moment. Dont' blink though, you may miss it!

Integration Sessions 2005 Part 2

On 09/25/05, we (Any Questions?) continued work at the old Floating Fish Studios on our new release, tentatively entitled Integration. Most of this day was spent working on a song idea titled In Dreams.

The genesis for this song had started a few weeks prior in a session where I recorded the basic structure which consisted of the Korg DW-8000 synth bass lines, Korg MS-2000 synth wash, and drum programming.

On the day of the 09/25/05 session, MC2P4 and LTJTHC joined me in the studio and we went about further expanding the song. We muted the original drum programming parts and turned on the click track so LTJTHC could improvise his drum parts without being locked into any of my initial drum sequences. MC2P4 added Korg Z1 lead lines, and I provided E-MU ESI-32 sample playing.

We set up a stationary camcorder to capture video and recorded the live improv audio direct to 2-track CD-R as well as capturing it as MIDI data so we could go back later and edit/manipulate the performances as needed.

This "out of focus" video is the raw footage of one of the live improv takes that we recorded that day.

Integration Sessions 2005

On 02/20/05, we (Any Questions?) began work at the old FFS on our new release, tentatively entitled Integration. By the end of the day, MC2P4, LTJTHC, and I had ending up laying down several song ideas. Everyone was happy with our progress and we were off to a good start on the project.

Up until this point, we had never captured much video of the behind-the-scenes recording process for any of our releases so we decided to break from the norm and capture all of the recording process for our Integration project. We ended up shooting video with multiple camcorders, recording all improv audio direct to 2-track CD-R as well as capturing it as MIDI data so we could go back later and edit/manipulate the performances as needed.

This video is a rough edit for one of the song ideas that we worked on that day.
