Jazzy ska from London

At long last … our new video | The Skamonics - London ska band

It’s taken rather more time than we expected but we are now able to begin reveal the fruits of our recording sessions earlier in the year.

Here therefore is our version of Kylie’s Can’t Get Out of my Head.

 

 

 

As can be seen, the video was shot during the various recording sessions for this number.

We started by recording the drums and guitar (with bass and vocal guide tracks). Over those we recorded the bass, keyboards and vocals at separate sessions, finishing with the horns.

You may wonder why the horns are surrounded by duvets. This is simply to dampen some of the room reverb, and stop it sounding boxy.

It’s the first time we’ve shot and edited video so we have had to learn this skill as we went along. If we knew then, what we knew now it would probably be much better.  And no-one warned us just how long it takes to edit a video.
