Outside In demo

Another cool day at the studio recording guitars for 'Outside In' - one of the best songs of the new album!
The ryhtym section is grooving too much, great work of Sammy and Nuno on this one. I worked out new approaches in 2 sections of the song and only left out the guitar solo for tomorrow or maybe Saturday.
Mike will be recording the keyboards during the weekend while Nuno and I will record the guitars for 'Racing the Hours', the next track on schedule.

Paulo went to the studio later and we closed the day working on the vocals for Phenotype.

more reports soon,

Outside In - bass tracks

Saturday, 26th May 2007 -16:00...

Nuno, Mike and I arrived at the studio to record 'Outside In' - Nuno 'Strap' delivered the goods. The bass tone is really good and it was one of his best recording sessions. Mike is improving really fast as an engineer from session to session and again we really worked well as a team; this track as several bass and drum's upgrades since the 1st demo we recorded in July 06.

We promised Nuno a printed t-shirt with all of his 'pool takes'...(private joke).

All guitar and keyboard parts are scheduled for this week, then we move to Racing the Hours.

Vocal recordings and mixes will start in about 2 weeks.

more news soon

Phenotype - the demo

This week we had Paulo on studio(on tuesday) to work the new vocal approach for Phenotype with great results. It's really rewarding to have him on the band; we're opening new horizons and expanding our ideas along with great teamwork. We're still working the vocals for the demo with his/our new ideas during next week and soon we'll be recording the final takes.

Today Nuno and I recorded the final details for Phenotype, the track has achieved another dimension since the last demo we recorded on December 06.
We'll be on studio next Saturday to record 'Outside In': bass + guitar + keyboards!!!

Have a nice weekend;)

Friday at the studio

Yesterday I arrived early at the studio to workout and record my guitar parts for 'Phenotype', Mike is doing a great job on keyboards and engineering for this song; we're preparing the mix so Paulo can lay is vocal lines next week.

I had time to write more lyrics and develop the concept for 'Mind Over Matter' & 'The News' - both songs in preparation.

Sammy is away for some days while mixing the 2nd album with Ava Inferi, though all drum tracks to 'Outside In' are recorded so we will start the guitar, bass and keyboard recordings during this week.

Have a nice weekend!

New singer, new demo, new breed...

As you probably read on the Official website we have a new singer: Paulo Pacheco

There's nothing much to be said when someone enters or leaves a project: we are all
human, we are all different people and things will be different on Forgotten Suns from now on!
We're extremely confident on our decisions and choices, so we know that only time will prove to you the weight of our new path.
There are new boundaries to be crossed, new visions to share; we're entering a new Era...

Today Mike, Nuno and I were on studio recording the new demo we're working on.
Nuno did an excellent bass work for 'Phenotype' and I recorded all rhythm guitars
only leaving the delayed verse lines to be worked tomorrow morning.
There are many upgrades from the original version for this track since what we did in November…

More news soon, stay tuned
