Released on the album “To Record Only Water For Ten Days”

Third and final recording session for the album. Further work (edits, overdubs and backing vocals) was also performed for several songs from the earlier sessions that were released on To Record Only Water For Ten Days.

NOTES:

The last session was tracked on a digital 8-track recorder (Yamaha MD8), unlike the first two done on a simple 4-track. Guitars used for the recording were an acoustic Martin guitar, borrowed from Anthony Kiedis, a 1966 Fender Mustang and a 1961 Gibson SG. All of his guitars were on the road or in storage while the Chili Peppers were on tour. Additionally, a Korg M1 keyboard and a Akai MPC3000 drum machine were used. The songs intended for commercial release were transfered onto a 2" analog tape to be mixed on a conventional 24-track console in a professional studio.

The Brown Bunny OST

RECORDING INFO:

Dates: 2000 to late 2002

Players: John Frusciante

Recorded at: John’s Los Angeles homes during this timeframe

Produced by: John Frusciante

Forever Away

Dying Song

Prostitution Song

Falling

Released on “The Brown Bunny OST”

Recording dates for these tracks are hard to narrow down. John’s songs were not featured in the movie, but rather served as an inspiration during filming sessions, which happened mostly in 2002.

As late as June 2002, it was still an ongoing project, but he spoke about it in the past tense during a March 2003 interview, saying he’d been making music for the movie for “around three years.”

With all the scarce information gathered, we assume the songs intended for the movie (with the exception of “Leave All the Things Behind” from the 1998 sessions) were recorded between 2000 and late 2002.

A mixture of instrumentals and songs were written specifically for the movie with a good amount of leftover material unreleased.

Demos with Josh Klinghoffer

RECORDING INFO:

Dates: Around December 2000

Players: John Frusciante, Josh Klinghoffer

Recorded at: Jimmy Boyle’s Studio, Los Angeles, CA.

Produced by: ?

Engineered by: ?

NOTES:

John mentioned recording some songs at Jimmy Boyle’s studio in two magazine interviews released in March 2001. In an interview with Guitar & Bass in mid-December 2000, he said:

A few days ago, we recorded two new songs with my other friend, Josh, on drums, and the sound we got was fabulous. We still haven't recorded the overdubs, but just the guitar and drum tracks together sound incredibly good.

We believe they kept going to the studio after that two-song session, as mentioned in the Dutch version of the same magazine:

I'm working for the Chili Peppers in the first place but when there's time left – so when Anthony is not in town or Flea's spending time with his daughter on the weekends – then I can go to the studio with Josh and work on new songs.

It’s unknown which and how many songs were recorded as both quotes are the only mention John has made of the sessions.
