I've been racking up the hours at the mixing desk recently and finally, after much editing, re-orchestration, arrangement and mixing, the next 3 tracks of the album are complete and ready for mastering. These 3 tracks are very orchestral with a fusion of acoustic drums which we recorded over at Earthwork Amber Studio with Rob Brian an Jon Buckett. The dynamics of each track sound good to my ears and I'm happy with the final mix. However, it has been a real challenge to mix orchestral instruments with traditional drums and various electronic instruments so it has been quite a learning curve. Out at Sea A family are out sailing around the coast of Cornwall when they get caught out by the weather. Their day started out beautifully, but as they sailed past Gwennap Head, off the southern coast of Cornwall, the sky darkened and the winds started to increase. A storm was blowing in across the Atlantic and the conditions were worsening. The father, also the skipper was starting to feel nervous with how things were developing knowing that they had little time to get back to port and that they were close to the notorious Runnel Stone. The Rescue This track starts to the sound of the SeaKing SAR helicopter being scrambled with the storm raging in the background. This is a race against time. A race against the storm to save the lives of a family. The tension is palpable as Squadron 771 and the RLNI are scrambled. Homeward Bound On board the SeaKing helicopter, the family are still reeling from their experience. They are wet, cold and totally exhausted. It is difficult to take it all in. However, there is a huge sense of relief amongst the crew and the family. Events could have easily taken a different direction and not in a good way.
