Small Good Things (Session: Saturday May 14th)

Plenty of open-ended and almost abstract pieces take 'shape' as we concentrate of providing moods and textures for our film soundtrack work this afternoon...

It's pedals to the fore as the sound is often smeared out of the instruments with washes of bass augmented by expressive drumming and edgy guitars. One piece in particular features a solemn, stately bass figure with dry-as-a-desert-plain slide guitar - luckily it proves to be more than just a small good thing...

The other main innovation is the use of a roving microphone to dub up individual instruments through the studio's PA with PC taking the role of Dub Professor. Proceedings are wrapped with a thunderous version of Motorik.

Present: Paul Carroll, Stephen Morris, Laurence Saunders, Phil Wyatt.
