Orchestra Session 17 May 2017

We'd had problems the week before with unbalanced levels, so when they re-appeared this week, I tried adjusting the settings on the new compressor but, though the problem definitely stemmed from that, I couldn't fix it, so ripped it out. Matthew turned up with a laptop and fed his guitar through it, creating washes of lo-fi weirdness. He played through a tiny speaker so I moved it in from the edge of the stage, but it turned out to be mighty powerful! I like the way David leads us around with the beats on 'Love, Love, Love', but my fave track so far is 'It Takes A Second' ...
