yesterday's rehearsal was spent working on force field, a seemingly futile attempt to merge several unfinished parts for the song together - i'm having some second thoughts about the addition of the main piano line from moscow being used in the beginning of this first part. the notes don't seem to correspond in any sensible way and the metallophone just doesn't have the range that it requires to sound good. tuukka spent a good long time introducing a new fourth part for the song, a nice bridge that he managed to work out for violins and trumpet with essi, saara and iina. the rest of the day seemed to be a bit of a waste, everybody sitting with their instruments, not entirely sure what they should be doing.
it did occur to me that a piano part that tuukka jammed on for some time during the time we were recording the grand piano parts for left your marks in the sand last winter could be used as the first part of death suit somehow. the part sounds quite powerful as it is (but only if you use a grand or upright piano to play it), starting with one bar in 4/4 rhythm followed by eight bars in 3/4, after which it starts again from the beginning. this may sound interesting if it gradually blended in with the second part, tangerine dream.
i'm listening to three records on heavy rotation at the moment: september 000 by secret machines, 7 from the village by fields and trans canada highway by boards of canada. i'm reading kafka on the shore by haruki murakami and have recently seen my neighbor totoro by hayao miyazaki at the 19th annual helsinki international film festival. i have tickets to colour me kubrick by brian w. cook, art school confidential by terry zwigoff and tideland by terry gilliam. should be good.
p.s.
going through the four minidiscs i had with me today i discovered an extremely old version of aircrash - before we thought of using faster drums.. anyway, the link is below. emily and i sing, jere plays guitar and otto plays drums. recorded way back in 2001.
