On Saturday night the five members of NOVELS meet up at Chemical Sound prepared to pitch two of their own songs, of which one will be recorded the next day. In this session we are introduced each of the members of NOVELS and listen in on the raw and unplugged version of each of the songs to be recorded. Initial plans are made about how the recording session will run on Sunday
NOVELS The Movie takes you inside a 24 hour marathon recording session at Chemical Sound with five of Canada’s top young pop musicians. Tokyo Police Club's Graham Wright, Will Currie of Will Currie and The Country French, and Luke Lalonde of Born Ruffians team up with Dean Marino of Tin Star Orphans and Jason Sadlowski of Chemical Sound to write, collaborate and record a 5 song EP in one day.
Heavily influenced by Wilco: I Am Trying To Break Your Heart and 6015 Willow, filmmaker Wade Vroom takes you through this unique creative process. Watch and listen as each musicians’ song evolves from an acoustic pitch to the other NOVELS members, into a fully realized collaborative recording.
