On Saturday we'll be recording our first music video. Our friend Chris Callow will be shooting it for us on location in our practice room, just off City Road. The room was the first place we ever had a full band practice, both with the original line-up with Kai, and with current four piece line-up now. Our first video in the first place we all ever jammed together. Seems entirely apt.
This afternoon will see me hand over £35 to a second hand store for a Chorus effects pedal. My first ever Chorus pedal, no less. To be completely honest, i don't actually know how a Chorus directly affects the sound of anything, but on the basis of me telling more than a few folks that i'm looking for a kind of 'Fables Of The Reconstruction'/'Reckoning' (REM) meets 'Talk Talk Talk' (The Psychedelic Furs) ethereal, dreamy sort of clean guitar tone on some of the new tracks. "You know you'll need a Chorus pedal, right?" was the common retort, therefore i've decided, quite blindly, and yet willingly, that other people know best. And £35 isn't too bad a hit, especially if it provides me with the sound i'm looking for, or at least close enough.
