PA Tremblay Recording Session
After sharing a stage with PA in December, and being invited to speak at the GEM Days festival in Huddersfield, we booked some studio time at Huddersfield University.
I took my ‘drumset’ setup, which as you can see by the pictures is hardly a drumset at all. PA used his 6-string fretless bass + laptop setup which I saw him perform with originally. We improvised for just under two hours and seemed to cover everything from subtle, texture-scapes, to blasts of lo-fi meets hi-fi noise, to stuttering glitch/sludge hip-hop. I look forward to hearing it back, and seeing what will become of it. Continue reading »
“Asleep at the Monologue” Recording Session
This completes the ‘acoustic’ half of ‘Two Point Owe’. For this one I’m on Melodica, Serg is on guitar, and Hamit, my Tabla teacher, is on Tabla.
It took two sessions to get this right since we had a very limited time window with Serg moving back to the US in a week. Continue reading »
“I AM YOUR DENSITY” Recording Session
My poor, poor neighbors. We blasted them with noise for about five solid hours. It was a pretty exhausting session, primarily because the material is so loud/dense.
I’m working on the mixing/editing at the moment, and I am incredibly pleased with the results. Expect a ‘single’ release before the end of the year. Special thanks to Angela, Anton, Sergio, Zoë, Ramsey, Wyn, Laurence, Evan, and Adam for being a part of the recording. Continue reading »
“The Ocean’s Like Right There” Recording Session
More ‘Two Point Owe’ recording with “The Ocean’s Like Right There”. Another duo with Serg but this time we are on Namasitar and Banjo. Nearly through with the ‘acoustic’ half of the CD. Continue reading »
In The Studio With Takahashi’s Shellfish Concern
With Serg moving back soon, and a recent performance firing us up, we decided to do a studio session. We setup all the usual mics/equipment, and five video cameras and let it roll.
Expect a CD/DVD , currently titled “The Sans of Gilbert”, sometime in early 2009. Continue reading »
“These Secrets Are Just Lists” Recording Session
This is the first recording session for my next CD entitled ‘Two Point Owe’. This is for the piece “The Secrets Are Just Lists”. For this piece I went with a simple, stripped down instrumentation of two naked acoustic guitars. Serg is the second guitar on this track.
The rest of the CD will be half klezmer/folk inspired experimentations and half laptop/electronic improvisations.
