Gösta Berlings saga recording Mini Moog

YouTube via RothHandle
"For the first session of 2009 I was very lucky and happy to have swedish prog band Gösta Berlings saga come to the studio to do some overdubs for their second album which is due out in March. The band is a four piece.

During this first day of recording we did a lot of really fun classic prog stuff. Mellotron MK II Brass section, Male choirs and even a moog melody line for good measure. The Moog we used in this clip is the old Abba Mini Moog as used by Benny Andersson. That is why it is painted white. But we also recorded some pastoral Celeste stuff, pump organs as well electric guitar noise walls. Well if you are curious about this band please check out their myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/gostaberlingssaga They are a really solid good band and we had a lot of fun throughout the day.

These little snippets were recorded at the Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. This is where I spend my days recording and producing bands. The studio started 1998 in my apartment with a akai dps-12, an acoustic guitar, a Mellotron and some stomp boxes. Since then it has been steadily growing and the studio is now housing Orchestrons, Optigans, Pipe organs, modular synths, Stylophones et.c et.c The idea of sorts is to blend good songs with unusual sounds so both sound better. If you are curious about the studios or the recordings that are made there please stroll by www.roth-handle.nu or www.myspace.com/Molesome If you have any questions about the studio please dont hesitate to drop me a line.

Take care and have a wonderful 2009.
