Bass tracking complete!

Good ole Bill finished up all of our bass tracking this week.  It took him less time than it took for me to eat a J.J. Gargantuan  from Jimmy John's.  Check out a picture after the jump.

Just kidding, there's no studio photo, but what the hell, here's a recent pic...

It's a picture of Young William in a very well-known bar in South St. Louis.  With a pretty sizeable cockroach on the wall.

Hibernauts Recording and Radio Show

Well, things have been going pretty smoothly for us Hibernauts lately.  Like I mentioned in an earlier post, drum tracks have been completed, and now Chad's bass tracks are now done.  Being in an unusual position where we have two bass players, now we're about half done with bass.  This weekend we should have all of the bass complete and the bulk of the next instrument (probably keyboard/synth).

In the meantime, I have become even better at Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (if that's possible).

Don't forget to tune in to our radio show, Sleeping In Space, every Monday at 2 p.m. on KWUR 90.3 fm.  You may be dissapointed/delighted to know that I am no longer in the studio for the show, due to a new job. 

So don't forget to tune in on Monday.  Set an alarm, write it on your calendar, have your mom call you (you probably haven't talked to her in a while anyway), but don't miss it.  For the large majority of you that don't reside or work right next to Washington University's campus, you'll have to tune in online at www.kwur.com.  But you can call in from anywhere: 314-935-5987

Happy Easter to all of the Christians out there.  Enjoy your Cadburies.

Recording Drums Complete!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls:

For those of you who have been waiting for new cuts from the Hibernauts, your waiting days are numbered.  This past weekend, we entered the second part of our recording process.  Our first (and now complete) task was setting up the rest of our studio (dubbed "4050 Studios").  This tedious job, championed by our friends/engineers/producers/cohorts Dan Ruder and Dustin Schaeffer involved setting up and testing equipment. In the meantime, we had the opportunity to finish up some of the creative details of the record.

This past weekend we began phase two: actually tracking instruments.  One of the greatest side effects of recording in a studio set up in our buddy's house is that we were able to make ourselves very comfortable.  This past weekend was fun, and we all got to pretend like we were in day camp again, enjoying basketball, bar-b-que, jokes, and beverages.  We recorded drums this weekend, and thanks to Dan and Dustin's legwork, they sound great.   Now the primary drum parts are finished, which means that this blogger has the bulk of his work complete!

Continuing on with our phase two, we will begin to record bass and guitar parts.  Watch for pictures of the band watching basketball as a guitar player becomes increasingly frustrated that he is getting ZERO support.

One further note about this new record:  For those of you who come out to shows often (probably the only people who are reading this anyway), we hope that you'll be happy to hear that most of the material on this record is brand new -- more specifically, 75% of the content of this record has never been played live or been heard outside of a rehearsal or recording session.  Hopefully you are as excited about that as we are.
