the recording of 'AZAR' continues to go well. scott is an impressive engineer with a maze-like house, a tidy kitchen, a sprawling 4 acre compound and a large cat named trixie. It is an extremely comfortable place to work. so far we have started 5 songs and we couldn’t be happier with the sounds we are getting.

karolyn’s been spending a lot of time in hammock waiting to track her viola parts. steve has taken a keen interest in the surrounding wildlife (especially the birds), james often playing one of the many pianos in between takes and lucas has been mastering some bizarre japanese lawyer game on his gameboy. i’ve been sitting in the control room staring at the back of scott’s head most of the time playing the occasional out of tune ukulele chord while listening to it all.

no barbecue yet, but some strange and delicious quesdillas have been made out of swiss chard.
