TIM KORRY Week 19- Under A Wishing Well Recording Blog TAYLOR Studios 2010


Posted on September 1, 2010

Walking off a hazy pathway in search of the next step, I feel light as a feather but stiff as a board. Changes in the studio dynamic and the elusive “light at the end of the tunnel” become revealed. My mind races… full of possibilities… Drums and percussion are nearly completed and production has commenced. Jeff had tightened up the loops and programmed the drum settings for the almost finished ‘Light as a Feather’. The ‘Hey Jude’/Black Crowes/Procol Harum sounding finale had been lifted to majestic heights thanks to the Bonham-like drum fills and sweet leslie of the Hammond organ.



I learned that TAYLOR Studios had made the decision to include an extra song on the CD due to a phone call earlier in the day. Some encouragement from outside sources had set the scene for the release of an instrumental that’s been bangin’ around my head for the last decade, just recently conjured and performed. ‘Under a Wishing Well’ will be the sixth and final song on the ‘Between the Sun and the Moon’ CD and the first instrumental I’ve made public.



A recess from the studio setting inspired another trip on the vintage pedal pusher for a shiny summer spin. Soaking up the sun and fresh country air on the White River bike trail is a great break from the confines of a darkened studio. Bridges, vistas, farmlands, and towns dot the plains of this southern WI stretch of limestone. Riding down the old railroad bed straight into the heart of Americana, I was transported back to a simpler time at the restored Pedal & Cup Depot, now an oasis on a sunny August afternoon. The idea of it all doesn’t sound very rock band like, but sometimes just a rocking chair on an old porch can be extraordinary.



Back in the studio, ‘9Sticks’ is next on the list for rhythm arrangement and experimentation. A reverse reverb was added to a Southern rockin’ blues guitar riff, played over the top of a classically finger picked nylon stringed intro. That’s a mouthful, but the bluesy psychedelic stringing sounds as if it’s “sucking through a vortex” according to the producer. Dreamy, slinky, and enticing…this may be the song for the upcoming video. Further audio exploration is on the horizon in this next coming week. Now begins the phonic production passage…
