Amazing new album – part 2

Some pics from the recent Mephymology recording project, in the Crown Ranges above Arrowtown, South Island.

Amazing new album….

Just got back from an amazing cottage in the Crown Ranges above Arrowtown.

Spent 2 weeks recording the new Mephymology album “Secret Garden of Space” in this incredible location.

think stone walls and floor, pitched wooden roof, open fires, warm rich golden glow, incredible view of Coronet Peak and the various mountain ranges…I’ll post some pix soon

The space sounded incredible too – perfect for tracking Tom Mepham’s drums, Jeremy Callander’s guitars, and Rohan Callander’s vocals and Acoustic.

Other performers included Tony Zweis on Piano – amazing – and Dunedin stalwart Malcolm Gordon (whose album “One Voice” has been getting airplay on various stations and who will also be embarking on a South Island tour soon – more info to come)

I played bass, and did some additional bits and pieces, as well as recording and mixing.

Will post links to the songs when they’re mixed and mastered.

The project ended on a weird note when the police alerted Rohan (singer) to the fact that some kids were walking thru Dunedin last night with my computer, Fender Telecaster, and some other stuff they had stolen out of the band van!!! So they got the gear back (whew) but now I am waiting to here if the police want to hold it as evidence (!!!!!!) so my suggestion to them is “take photos, or pay me what I could be earning by using it!!” (the latter being my preferred option but I can’t see them going for that !!)

Anyway – an amazing experience with a real cool bunch of people.

will keep you posted !!
