Studio report (5)

This post is about collaborations on the new Hystersis album. Previous posts already mentioned that I have teamed up with Machinist to co-compose a number of tracks. Some of them will end up at the new album and I really think of those tracks as co-productions, not just Machinist contributing one or two things.

Secondly, I got fed up with programming drums. Drums on ’8pmcityscapes’ were programmed and I wanted to make them sound natural so a lot of work went into programming human-like fills and sounds. But why not ask a real drummer? I’m very happy to report that Richard of Terzij De Horde has been so kind to accept the invitation and record all live drums on the new album. I’m a great admirer of Terzij De Horde so it goes without saying that I’m very proud of this collaboration.
