Stine started recording today! We never finish at 16.00, so Steinar took over in the evening.

Eystein started the day listening to some of the takes from the previous days. Stine recorded some more, and Ketil continued... Few pictures lately, will take some pretty soon! Since we started recording Espen has been working day and night with the arrangements for our guest musicians. This weekend we will record the flute, trumpet, bassoon and a string quartet! Exciting...

Steinar recorded some vocals, and Espen H recorded some of the bass he had left...

Our first guest musician performed on our album today! Andreas K. Elvenes, known from bands as "The 3rd and the Mortal" and "Bitch Cassidy". He did the vocals on "Åsgårdsreia" and some choir on "Trolltind". He has an incredible deep and dark voice. (sounds like David Bowie - a few octaves deeper :-) As Stein is responsible for this album (it`s his studio!) he feels obliged to warn every girl out there - you might be pregnant just by listening to Andreas` performance! He has a manful voice...

Our designer Per dropped by and showed us the first sketches of his work with the cover, nice!

Started the day with Annette Foss and her flute. Annette also played on "Åsmund Frægdegjevar". She finished in a few hours, and we even recorded some parts that weren`t planned. Later we brought in two guys from the jazz scene in Trondheim. They are both studying at the "Institute of Music" and play in many bands.
They really added a new touch to some of our songs...
In the evening the student magazine "Under Dusken" came to make an article about out recording! Read it here!
Ketil recorded guitars in the evening.

Per Christian Jørstad, who played the cello on "Åsmund Frægdegjevar" came with the rest of his string-quartet. They recorded "Trolltind", "Byttingen", Blæster" and "Åsgårdsreia". Espen G wants to remove as much synth as possible. from the album, so the string-quartet have to play a lot! They will continue next Tuesday.
Had a band-meeting in the evening, and listened to what has been recorded so far
- we have enough to keep our fingers on next week, too!

Today Ketil re-recorded some of his guitars.
Rune from Eternal-Terror visited us for his second part of the studioreport. Read it here! (Norwegian)
