Terror Terror Its time for

14.29
Terror! Terror! It's time for the guitarist to deliver those nasty, cruel, lonely lines on "Larks' V". This is the piece which was referred to by the F word, at the beginning of this recording process. There is more extended exposure for me on this than "Larks' IV". Trey & Ken are comping the F parts prior to my return for the 15/16 running lines and the sections known as Fairy Fingers.

A wonderful exchange from last night and "ProzaKc Blues" when your diarist as guitarist was torn between 2 times and 3 players, pitifully attempting to sync with someone, anyone:

RF: If I listen to you guys it puts me off, and if I don't I go wrong.
TG: That's tough.

Adrian came down at the beginning of our working day to beg time for his Word Frenzy - he called it "flurry". Which is why, instead of looking at the architecture of "Seizure" your diarist was sent to work.

A small report: my back and legs have not given me any trouble for 2 weeks. Gradually the tendon in the left leg loosened up, although striking at strange and surprising times.

The 15/16 lines wait my beginning, fresh tomorrow day, but the rest is nailed. Pat is overdubbing but Adrian, who both walked in during mid-Mastelotto beastliness, was unable to figure which piece Pat was overdubbing. Actually, Pat is preparing the Rhythm Buddies' part for the 15/16 tomorrow. Now savage shards of flying industrial-enhanced drums are powering out from the garage where BPM are tweaking the drum sonics on "Larks' IV".

Trey and Ken are going home at the end of a long day for them.
