Knee deep in snow and sun. SpoonLiquor Canadian experience...



Right.


I have been wanting to write about our experience of the Canadian vibration since the first day we landed in Montreal but, I have been so drifted away from the computer that it actually felt hard to sit down and turn it on...Funny that back in Rotterdam I have no problem sitting day and night writing and designing my styles, here, I find the silence and peacefulness so powerful, I simply can't find the time to express myself on-line...quite an impressive experience I must say...




Anywho...we have been here for almost 3 weeks now, it's one of the most powerful rides into sounds and vision I ever been in. Chilling in a wicked beautiful house in St. Colomban (which is about one hour drive north from Montreal city, somewhere in the Quebec region), Knee deep in country side, snow all around us, trees everywhere and sweet beautiful stillness..I love it.We felt at home on the first day, the vibe here is unique and delightful, It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed and refreshed... When I walk to my place of sleep after a long hard day of musicial explosions I stop sometimes in the middle of nowhere just to listen to the pure silence that surrounds me...it's deafening, the total atmosphere of nothingness clears my mind and heart and I can really feel the movement of time as everything become still...




Our day is pretty simple, we wake up early, have some tea and bagels and go straight to the studio to make music, from sun rise till stars sets. Our first week here was more of 'getting the feeling of what's up!' we took road trips, got to know the family and friends and look around with amazement of how people and society exists in a place we haven't been before... the souls here are magical, the Canadian vibe is welcoming and intellectually entertaining, it's true about people not locking their doors here, people simple live here with passion of creation and not in fear or the unknown... it's super cold but the sun shines almost everyday and the beauty of it all just makes you want to hug something or someone and make the best of it. I believe we couldn't have gotten a better deal, we have the studio for ourselves which gives us full control over the creation department, it's refreshing to have such power, we are truly blessed. feels like divine intervention, as if all roads lead to making this adventure as powerful and explosive as possible, music wise and personal vibes.




Don't get me wrong that everything is cream cheese, bagels and hockey. we have hard days too, we are all financially broke and time is running out on us and we would really REALLY want to make this the best album ever. somedays we try new things and they crash like zeppelins and somedays we come up with unreal new sounds that would make you flip your lid. We never been so close to each other since the band started many years ago, actually only now I am starting to get to know my band members, the ability to make music everyday is one of the best feeling I ever had in my life, it's also sometimes pretty hard on the mind too, constant attention to details and the drive for perfection sometimes gets you off track and makes you forget the big picture. still, me are truly making magic here and capturing it on tape. it's beyond words... beyond I tell'yha!




so, we got about 10 more days here, and we shifting gears into a higher groove. personally, I never sang better and we are all making totally improvement of every note we ever invented, copied or pasted. We push each other to the maximum capacity of our own abilities.This album will rock your boat and will make you shade a tear of joy and sadness of beauty and life changing vibrations, or, it will simply suck globule ass! anyway you look at it, it makes us stronger and that means that it's good!!! and good it what we are all about.....more news coming soon...
