June '09 - It's all about the Mc's and Alex.
So, we finished the strings today and this EP has some coincidences. If you want to be one of the musicians that plays on it your first name either has to be Alex (or the equivalent in another language) or your last name has to start with Mac or Mc. So Shelly and the engineer Tim are the only ones left out. Musicians / programmers are:
Drum programming - Craig McConnell
Bass guitar - Matt McCullough
Guitar - Dave MacKinnon
Piano - Alex Fiddes / Shelly Quarmby
Cello - Alex McMaster
Violin - Oleksandra Fedyshyn
June '09 - Piano tracks down
Great day in the studio today, three out of six piano tracks were done. Check out the gallery for some photos and video of Alex Fiddes recording 'Who's That Girl'.
March '09 - Recording started for a new EP.
So, time hasn't been on our side here in Canada and recording for what was going to be an album has started, but now it is going to be a six song EP. Working with Inside Music in Toronto, Shelly has started laying down the demo tracks for the EP. Please don't forget to check out Shelly's blog here and other social networking sites (top of the page for links) for updates.
