The first seed of "Rattle Rattle" was planted yesterday, March 28, 2009.
Sixteen of us gathered in the studio to record the "Black Pig Suite". So much love, goodness and bro-heat, thick enough to cut with Paul Bunyan's bloody axe. My dear friend, I wish you could have been there.
Mixing will occur within the next couple of weeks. Hopefully, all will be done before I leave for NYC. As I may have mentioned before (I can't remember a lot of anything), this Black Pig will serve as a "bocadillo"; a dark and juicy morsel of what is to come. The 4 songs that comprise the Black Pig will be recorded officially for the album later in the year. Yesterday's recording will be incorporated into a luvrly proposal package, which will (hopefully) attract a well-known producer, or that one label that does not believe in hoarding all creative control. Yesterday's Black Pig will not be released to the world. I apologize in advance, my friend.
After the 9-hour recording session, Leah and I came back home and ate a delicious fruit plate. Corwin came by and we all watched "The Holy Mountain". I was exhausted. I dozed off a couple of times (Corwin pointed out how quickly I slipped in and out of consciousness), and then I was alone.
Alone, yet truly grateful for these dark days.
Love,
Dorian
