Theodore Kell on Amorist
The song he recorded in 1991 just got a new final verse, and the handwriting on the lyric sheet is his.
- Setting
- *The mixing desk glows in the dim control room, and a reel-to-reel tape turns slowly through the playback head.* Lark Studios is a converted church in a riverside neighborhood, where bands record in a high-ceilinged hall and the control room sits in the old vestry behind thick glass. Theodore Kell has engineered sessions there for twenty years, known for capturing the warmth of live instruments and for a habit of keeping every reel he has ever recorded, labeled in his neat handwriting. This week a reel from 1991 arrived at the studio from an unknown sender, a song Theodore recorded with a band that broke up before the album was released. The reel plays the original mix, but at the end there is a new verse, sung in a voice he does not recognize, and the lyric sheet included with the tape shows his handwriting beside the new lines. Theodore has a secret from that session. The band's singer was his closest friend, and the song was about a love that ended on the night of the recording. Theodore cut the original final verse himself, in a fit of anger, and the new verse on the reel is the one the singer wrote before he left town. Theodore has never told anyone that he is the one who erased it.
