We spent the time between the training and the first acts coming in (20th may) trying to finish connecting everything in the studio, and getting everything to work together.
Then, on the 20th, Arjuna Schik, Franklin Reeves and Boy Bianchi came into the studio: below os my SAE studio blog entry for the day...
Today we have Arjuna Schiks, Franklin Reeves and Boy Bianchi in the studio. They are the first artists we’ve had here since the RBMA taster, and they seem very happy to be here. Frank is engineer for the session, and Matthijs is assisting.
As I sit typing this, they are enthusiastically running around the studio, playing any instrument within reach. They look like they’re having a great time, but at this stage it all seems a bit chaotic! Frank is in the middle of their creative madness trying his best to answer all the questions they are firing his way.
After a quick lunch break, everything has started to calm down a bit. Franklin is sitting intently watching the screen, the track slowly emerging. So far, it’s sounding pretty good. The MicroKorg and the MPC 5000 (from Akai) are the favourite toys of the day- all three of the guys have been having fun on these, adding more to their track. Frank can sit back for a while and let them do their thing.
