MAY 12TH, WEDNESDAY

Hell-o ya all!
Today was a short one for me. Marko and Jani did something before I arrived.
I Had to take care of domestic stuff until 2PM, but then the day was relatively productive. Still worked on that same one song I mutilated yesterday.
Some vocal arrangements needed adjusting and now the song we for some reason call "the summersong" and it has nothing whatsoever to do with summer. Doesn´t even sound like anything "summer".)sounds fucking great!
You can expect to hear some new elements on these new Sonata tunes, like hammond organ...it rocks!
Generally this album will be more "rock" than the previous ones. Good or bad, don´t know, but I am developing a serious liking on these new songs. :) Me happy.
Songtitle of the day: "Shamandalie". ...ok, hold yer horses, this ain´t gonna be a daily thing! :D

managed to take ONE, ladies and gentlemen, ONLY ONE ok picture today! Here you have it.

Jani recording guitars for this
yet unnamed "summersong", which has nothing whatsoever to do with summer. Doesn´t even sound like anything "summer". Am I repeating myself? Time charge the cameras and my own batteries...

Cheers, monkeys!

ps. that Brazilian flag behind Tommy is part of the studio decoration. Ahti got it from our tour in South-America. I was a bit suprised it caused such a positive riot. :) Hopefully we get to play S-America soon!
