I had a great weekend hanging with the folks in Goodnight Blue Moon. After they recorded their basic tracks at Tarquin Studios in CT, they asked if I'd help record strings at their home. The sounds came out great, and I'm really excited to hear the final tracks!
This was my writing setup over the July 4th holiday. I have to say, I love this Moog Sub Phatty more and more, everyday. And through my Aguilar rig? Boom! Really fun and inspiring weekend.
On my to a wedding tomorrow, I remembered playing ukulele before a friend's nuptials in Aruba a few years back. Gotta love weddings!
Here's a dope track that I played bass on for Willie Green! "Promises" ft. Rachel Costello.
Great Elk has been writing furiously for the next record, set to track in August at the Isokon in Woodstock once again. Here I am switching between my trusty CallowHill bass and a Moog Sub Phatty! Lots of fun! You can also peep my Mono M80 case - never leave home without it.
I really do love this preamp. Vocals, bass, whatever. So good. #recording #tubes #avalon
Inspiration in the simplest of phrases: "Make good art."
Tell me... #nyc #brooklyn #subway
This pedal makes me sound like an angry old man. #bass #fuzz #verellen #bigspider
In getting back in the mixing game, I had the opportunity to record, mix and master (and play bass on) Great Elk's cover of David Bowie's "Heroes." I'm pretty happy with the way it's turned out, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!
Idle hands + snowed-in = Thai curry, apparently.
something to keep in mind. #graffiti #collaboration #brooklyn #nyc #blue
Last night I busted out the mobile rig and headed over to Bryan Bisordi's rehearsal space to track drums for a Great Elk single. As much of a pain as it is to drag around and setup, it sounds great and was a lot of fun. Getting home, pumped with adrenaline at 4am was not as fun, but I'm really happy with the results. Now onto keyboard and guitar overdubs!
Interpol's "Turn On The Bright Lights" just celebrated it's 10th anniversary. I used to listen to this record constantly, and most often during trips in and out of New York City to play music. It reminds me of the barely lit BQE, surrounded in blackness, as we weaved our way from the abyss of city. It's still strange to me that a few years later, I'd make my home here.
I'm just as inspired by this record now as I was then. It brings me right back to that feeling of swimming out of the dark city, trying to escape what seemed like it would swallow me up. So far, I guess it has.
November is a slower month than I've had in quite awhile. No live shows with either Measure or Great Elk. (That's not to say I haven't been making music. Twintapes rehearsals have been a blast. Great vibe, great songs, great sounds!) But aside from my normal bass duties, I've found myself increasingly inspired by keyboards and synth sounds. I've spent more time with my wurly and ms2000 in the past few weeks than I have in the past year! And the best part: new song fodder... More to come this winter...
Here's a cool video that I did with Measure, filmed by Look Sessions, when we were on the west coast this past August. Look Sessions does a great job filming one take/one shot/one mic videos of bands in a stripped down setting. Really fun, as I got to drop the bass and play glockenspiel and sing some background parts!
I played with Great Elk this past Friday at The Outer Space in the New Haven/Hamden, CT area. The bar is owned by Steve Rodgers, of the band Mighty Purple, who also owns The Space, an all-ages venue I played in the Pencilgrass days. It was great to catch up with him after quite a few years. He's really made a mark with these two venues. It was cool to play his newest venture, especially with my friends in Goodnight Blue Moon and M.T. Barrington.
