After 10 days off we are finally back in business. We still have a lot to do... Siv Lena recorded 4 songs today!
Espen G started recording the vocals on "I lytinne två".

Siv Lena recorded more violins.

Siv Lena finished recording her violins today! In the afternoon we brought in 5 guys from a local choir to sing on "Skip under lide" and "Høyre du Åsmund Fregdegjævar?"

Our songs have constantly been going through changes the last 3 years, and they still are... We soon realised that something had to be done with "Det er ingin dage" as it was far too cosy. Espen G suggested removing the accoustic guitars and replace the synth with a real chuch-organ, and so we did! We are also doubtful about the choir-version of "Høyre du Åsmund Fregdegjævar?" so we asked Steinar Aardal to sing this song alone today. Time will tell which version we will use... Steinar also did the vocals on "I lytinne två" so we will probably combine his and Espen Gs vocals. In the evening Vibeke re-recorded the vocals on "I trollehender" and "Kampen mot bergetrolli".

As we prefer using original instruments instead of synths when possible, we decided to get more help for "Hår som spunnid gull", a cello, flute and a contrabass! This was really successful and as they all were very professional and used less time than expected we decided to replace some synthlines from other songs as well. We used all three on "Olavs belti" and that turned out really good! We also added some flute on "Ormin lange".

Last night we got Espen Gs Hammond organ and Leslie. He recorded quite a few tracks with it and we will decide later what to use. Today we made the final touch on the guitars, bass, synths and vocals.

Everything is now recorded, so today we started mixing the album.
