songs tight everybody involved did a fantastic job!

Moi,
Today was my last day at Grouse Lodge.
We have been recording with Doug some vocals for most of the songs.

Alex has finished with the distortion and now it is time for the acoustic stuff.

We tried over here recording techniques that I haven’t used before. It has been very different. I was singing in the [...]

Yesterday was a great day.
The weather didn’t help that much, but all the rest was perfect.
In my visit to Dublin I “was forced” to run to a nice Shopping center to get shelter from the heavy rain

But the rain didn’t seem to stop, so I gathered some strength, bought a useful raincoat and [...]

Terve!
It has been a busy day today. I nearly nailed the Finnish lyrics for Oasis, even though I might still like to think about them again.
All drums and bass parts are recorded now.
Earl and Doug left us, what was very sad for everyone. But I am sure this won’t be the last time we will [...]

Hello everybody,
Just returned to Grouse Lodge Studios.
The day just went in travelling…
I’ll have a meeting with the producer to check how is everything going. Today Alex started to overdub guitars. That will still take some more days.
I promise to give you more details tomorrow.
Love,
Tarja.

Hello People!
I am posting now from Finland.
In two days I will be back in the studio working with the guys.
I cannot wait to return.
Anyway, my spirit is there. So I want to show you a photo of the day when Daniel Pieper made the interview.
Of course, after a great barbecue!

It’s great being here with everybody, this place and the people here

Thanks to Claire, Patty and all the staff for creating a very nice
atmosphere here for us.
At the moment Doug Wimbish and I do fine-tuning of the parts together
and at the [...]

Tomorrow I will travel back to Finland, but I’ll be back in two days. I need to leave the guys alone in the studio! I guess they will miss me…;) I will anyway miss them.
I have to tell you that this place is quite spooky sometimes. We have been discussing that the atmosphere around here [...]

Doug Wimbish in the Area.
Life is Beautiful.
I have had the pleasure of working at GROUSE LODGE
Studios with TARJA.
A very special and extremly talented singer who has one of the most beautiful voices I have heard.
There is a very special team of people in place that is helping paint to sonics for this [...]

I am here for any kind of keyboards and special effects Tarja will have on her new Album and… believe me there will be outstanding stuff you hear normally in big Hollywood movies.
Although the weather in Ireland is freezing cold (temperature wise I am very spoiled after 9 years living in Ibiza), we all [...]
