Notes From the Studio
It’s been a busy week here at Van Hearlen III studio, so busy that I’m late with this blog entry. We’ve been recording a lot for the new album: vocals for “Skeleton Crew”, “Empty Spaces”, and “Your Doubt (Can Set You Free)”, lead guitar for “Westwood” and “Ace of Blues”, and bass for “Life Is Calling” and “Small Name, Big Ego”. At the left you can see me recording the lead vocal for “Empty Spaces”, and I’m either singing very passionately or experiencing a severe abdominal pain. I learned this emotive vocal technique that signifies earnestness and a predilection for stage diving from Eddie Vedder. Oh, and don’t laugh at my homemade pop filter.
