There is nothing more exciting than to record music for a movie – I mean, a real movie! And „Biscuit Tin Blues“ is a real movie with screenings at film festivals and all that.
The roadmovie tells the story of two friends getting together after a long time. Back in the days, they were band members playing in a grunge band. I won’t spoil what is happening, you have to see it yourself. But the task was to provide the drum tracks for a demo recording of that fictional band.
So I went to the shed and started working: playing, recording and mixing the drums. This is quite exciting because a movie will be mastered for systems that can actually reproduce tons of low end. And when the screen fades to black and there is this moment of darkness and silnece – and BOOM, in comes the snare drum!
Now that was fun.
