It is July 2006, and Richard
and Peter take a break from recording. Standing outside the main entrance
of Dayglo Fishermen's Cozmic Studios facility, they take a moment
to consider the momentous nature and importance of their work, and
to find the answer to the question: 'Where is Ginny?'
|
 |
Peter makes some final adjustments
to the new album's introduction sequence. It's a mezmerising piece,
filled with complex apeggiated textures. Such a composition requires
years of experience to record and mix successfully.
|
 |
Richard and Peter study the
arrangement and lyrics of every song with great care and attention.
|
 |
 |
For Richard, every note, every nuance and
every move requires strict rehearsal before recording can begin.
|
Careful planning and programming goes into
every layer of sound that Peter places into each track.
|
 |
Peter spends many lonely hours
in the studio. It is during those times that the power of his synthetic
prowess is at its height, and the heart of each song is born.
|
 |
 |
The simple joy of an acoustic guitar is
something Richard finds hard to resist. Add a little reverb and its
beauty is sublime.
|
Peter taps out a fast background sequence
for an instrumental track. Although it will be mixed far in the background,
every note must be perfect.
|
 |
With calm composure, Richard
provides a seemingly effortless classical contribution to many of
the tracks on Dayglo Fishermen albums.
|
 |
 |
After countless rehearsals recording can
begin. After each take, it is replayed and examined carefully. The
word 'compromise' is not in the band's vocabulary.
|
It takes the dexterity of a brain surgeon
to operate the complex controls of Dayglo Fishermen's digital recording
equipment. Fortunately Peter posesses that dexterity.
