Parkinson’s law
Working on project Void, I should have learned about Parkinson’s law a long time ago. “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion” What a wise man! This must be the title of our next album 🙂

Timing, is everything
Tonight Philippe and I edited the vocal parts of our mystery singer in the song “Make me whole”. The takes were recorded last monday and really put the icing on the cake. There are also spoken parts in the song that needed to be positioned just right. This proved to be a job for Philippe. He has a talent Read more about Timing, is everything[…]

The last mile is the longest…
I thought that we were only crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s now, but the last mile turns out a fun ride. The last 3 sessions felt like we just started fresh from the beginning, but now with 10 years of Void experience under our buckles.

Makeover time!
Now Void almost reaches completion, a few songs no longer fit in. So it’s makeover time! The song “My Heart” is transformed from a low energy standard ballad to a full blown “Beatle” song. 3 minutes of ear pleasing harmonies and, of course, the mellotron 🙂
Bottleneck
Don’t worry. It’s not about the project timeline 🙂 This weekend I played my first guitar part with a glass bottleneck. And there it is, that swampy feel we needed for the song “Make me whole”. Thank you for the basics Tom Feldmann!

Ok, in a 10 day break of snorkeling in Bonaire Read more about “I did it in December, but it felt like it was May”[…]
If Heaven…
This week, Philippe did push the envelope. The vocals of “Long time Ago”, “A beautiful day” and “If Heaven” were recorded and that really completes these songs. There’s still a lot of work to do, but this phase of the project is fun. I can’t wait to hear the next tracks.
If a picture…
Today I stumbled upon some older pictures of the vOID project.
You Gotta Be Free
Just fiddling around on a Spanish guitar, this lick suddenly appeared. It turned into a country-ish song which is called You Gotta be Free. Again a bit off topic for the project. Still I think it has potential. Maybe we have to find a way to somehow add these odd-balls to the project. Suggestions anyone? Read more about You Gotta Be Free[…]
