Capture the Feeling

Today, Plum Shark had a pretty good rehearsal, working on new songs for a future 3rd record. But like any practice or live show, you've got to take some and leave some... New songs are taking shape, the groove is really, really good, but most are unfinished, and playing them is still a bit rough at times.

However, listening to demos of these new songs is amazing, as there is a good live feel, and emotions are there for sure. Unfortunately, this is something that is really hard to transmit when multi-tracking in the studio.

Related to that subject, I remember reading an interview with ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, who was talking about doing music to "capture the feeling". With that comment he referred to how a good jam might sometimes lead to an impressive connection between musicians that cannot be described and that you cannot reproduce even if you liked to.

Well, the few new demos we recently recorded give me that feeling, and I just hope that we will find a way to share all of this through the finished product...
