The Music
Focused on adding over-dubs to The Only Thing That’s Missing, Global Remix. Mike added the Agogo
and the Tamborim,
Rob added the cobassa,
and Andy the guitar (not sure you really need to click on this last one). Andy then did new vocals as we’ve changed the song into a Londoner yearning Spain and a displaced Kenyan wanating to get back to Africa. We’ll now take this down to Kenya and see what happens!
Everything Else
We then focused on getting our camera cases ready. The first is dedicated fully to the Singing Wells project and includes what we call ‘Roving Video Camera 1’ (Canon 7D) where Pado will focus on the roving shots of each of the African tribal bands. Andy spent a long time creating the right Pelicase configuration for this one, including the ‘stabiliser.’ The second case will remain with Abubilla Music Foundation and includes ‘Stationary Video Camera 1’ (focused on the steady performance shots, Canon 5D) and ‘Roving Camera 2’ (Canon 60D)focused on village interviews and ‘making of’ documentary. We’ll be blogging at Singing Wells with latest updates on these trips and we’ll certainly have a blog on the differences between the three Canons. here’s the nifty Motion Cam Stabilizer:
That’s it.
