I think the computer was a 133MHz Pentium and it was so busted all the time that I had to run constant renders of the audio tracks one bar at a time to have a realtime rehearsal of how it sounds. Then I spent the next 2 weeks full days editing vocals and searching for the best takes. The recording took 4 hours and we did it on a Neumann TLM103 microphone. We recorded the "Flying High" song at home in my room with singer Päivi Ikonen (Mattila) who was also graduating from the same school that spring. I recall reading only one physics book because this spring was perfect time for honing skills on music, and that it was. The next spring, spring of 1999, was a break from school for us soon-to-be-graduates and it was meant to be spent reading everything through we had studied in the past 3 years, as a preparation for the final graduate exams. So it inspirated me in to writing this song, which had a work name "Gone with the wind" back in the day. Something appealing and dangerous, self-destructive but she couldn't avoid it. I saw it in a way the fly was a girl who burned herself repeatedly in these bad relationships that constantly dragged the girl in to them. There was one fly flying against to the brightness of the lamp I had on the table and constantly burning itself in the heat. 简介:I was sitting next to my work desk one late evening in November 1998 after having been rolling some notes for riffs on a new song.
