Margaret Explosion has a few months off but we’re not just twirling our thumbs, we’ve recorded tracks for a new album and we’re mixing them now with the great Arpad. We spent a couple hours with his one tonight orchestrating the entry of an ambient guitar track, a Farfisa track, the original guitar track and then the bass and drums. The outtro is orchestrated as well but I will spare you the details. The song doesn’t have a name. We improvised all the basic tracks and then assembled files that resembled songs with judicious editing.
All this is 180 degrees from usual M O of live to two track mixes. In this one we pulled out the original upright bass and drum tracks and replaced both with a fretless bass, conga drum and shaker track and Peggi’s Farfisa. Bob added two additional guitar tracks and sent those to us via his Dropbox. The song has no name as yet but because we’ve been watching all the old Twilight Zones on Netflix we would like to dedicate it to Rod Serling.
