tomorrow (or today, as you're reading this) i'm going into a studio in midtown to begin recording the acoustic/orchestral album. thus begins 6 14 hour days. which is great. i love disappearing into big, old studios, where you look up and realize, 'oh, it's 2 a.m, huh, how did that happen?'

i'm really curious to see how the recording goes. the idea is to record with no electronic elements at all. so: piano, live drums, acoustic guitar, strings, stand up bass, etc. at some point i might cheat and introduce a couple of small electronic elements, but for now i really like the idea of keeping everything completely in the acoustic realm. which means: no electric guitars, no computers, no synthesizers, no drum machines, no samplers. i love electric guitars and drum machines and etc, but i want to see what it's like to work without them. who knows, maybe it'll be terrible. and if it's terrible i hope i have the decency to never let anyone hear the recordings... but hopefully the end result will be really warm and inviting. at least that's the hope. even if it ends up being a failure i'm excited to try to record an album in a way that's completely different to how i've worked in the past.

pictures and etc to follow. i get a lot of use out of 'etc'. i usually write 'etc' when i'm being lazy or can't think of anything else to write. etc.

did you know there is actually a Belgian writer called Louis Paul Boon who ended his first novel, 'De voorstad groeit' with "ach, enzovoort enzovoort" ("oh, etcetera etcetera") because he had to end things quickly in order to partake in a literary competition -- which he won?

and so on.

p.

Ba je suis enchanté par ce

Ba je suis enchanté par ce nouveau concept, on verra ce que ça donnera patience donc... bon travail moby.
J'ai hâte de savoir la suite des nouvelles concernant ton travail. Merci de nous faire partager la création de ta musique c'est très enrichissant.

for me, acoustic music is warm and intimate. i assume it's easier to "make" intimate music when you are alone in your studio. Isn't it more difficult to work with musicians and technicians when you want the result personal ? it's the question of introspection during a creative process and the question of compromises when you work as a team.
just questions..
then, i wonder if you are not a little anxious. i'm sure this new experience will be rich of learning and the album will be beautiful.

ps : thank you for sharing your work with us (a man at work is always very sexy etc)

Great!!!!!

You might have heard your songs by String Quartet , and let´s say , I hope you work out better , I enjoy some of the pieces but not all. Let me guess ,"God moving..." , "When it´s cold..." and ????? Sure you will surprise us, but when will we have the chance to listen to it? Should I start saving to flght to NY by the end of this year for a concert? give us a clue. ;)

Bgood

Have a fabulous time recording my love!!!!

I so wish I could be there to watch & hear *you* recording with your orchestra my love. I do hope *you* will be able to give us some sneak peak views into your recording. That would be so lovely. Photos, videos, whatever it is that *you* are inspired to share, I will appreciate and love them all. Smiles.

(Awwwwww, I just had to add this photo, So cute. Smiles and blinks)

I'm very much looking forward to a mainly acoustic album darling!!! *You* are going 'All Natural' this time around and that is really lovely!! Perhaps *you* may have some folk songs amidst your album? I think that would be so lovely to add at least one folk style song, I mean, since *you* are doing an acoustic album. That would be so lovely!! Smiles.

Alas My Love, I too usually use the word 'Etc.' whenever I cannot think of a precise word that would be able to perfectly end my sentence. Smiles and blinks.

Tis always so lovely to wake up to a new journal by the man that makes my heart sing, sighs......

I miss your tweets and your photos. Don't you be taking a break from those for too long. *You* always make me smile when *you* post those. :)

I Love *You* With All My Heart Moby Richard Melville Hall,

Your Eternal Love Rachelle

You really must love snow that much so you had to have it in NY? And Obama (the weatherman) loves it too - he called it Snowmageddon? Wau! Well you still are a bit after us if we measure the snow. But of course you Americans have to be biggest in everything... I have heard... We have nice walls around us for the moment made of snow - of course.

Moby I wish you all luck with the album. I know it is going to be magnificent just like you are.

I hope you don't mind me sending here some links. I just wanted to share somee wonderful piece of music that makes me so happy that I want to dance. In my dreams I'm dancing with my twinflame whom I shall meet soon. I know I will... My heart is singing! I guess this is Indian music..?
