Amphibious Recording
Aug 25th, 2008 by benpatton
Today the Count and I went to Backyard Studios in Cebu City, for a recording session. At first all went well, with Jaye on the drums and myself in the control room with our able engineer, Hanz.

We were recording a somewhat psychedelic new composition of ours which, at one point, incorporates the sound of thunder and rain. How appropriate then, that it began pouring and thundering tempestuously during the session. In fact, at first I didn’t distinguish the recorded precipitation from the natural…
Our session was put on hold when I looked down at the floor and saw twigs floating by. Water was pouring into the studio from outside… the room was quickly flooded up to the tops of our shoes. We are fortunate not to have been electrocuted.


Here I struggle to remain above sea-level, while pondering on how to build the ark.

The Count and I, after the flood. Note Jaye’s trusty flood bucket, and my new suit designed by Boy.

















At least Jaye was dressed appropriately enough for a flood! You may want to have boy take those up a few inches. ;D
I meant Boy… no disrespect intended.
Yes, Boy does some nice work. I’d like to see these suits in person!
