New track, which was released on the new Rochester Chip comp.
Words are being written, possibly about driving places.
For now, enjoy, and pass onto your friends!
I can actually point to the song/album that made me want to go into audio engineering.
This album came out on my 12th birthday, and I remember biking to Music City in downtown Binghamton (shhhh….I didn’t tell my parents at the time…I was forbidden to bike downtown) and using $10 of my birthday money to purchase the album on cassette.
I got home and played it all the way through on my cassette/alarm clock in my bedroom. For the next few weeks, it was the sole cassette in my walkman as I delivered papers on my route along Crary and Matthews Streets in Binghamton.
My ears were so enamored with the power of the recording. I had never heard a recording like it before. Sure I knew Nevermind, and was a huge R.E.M. fan at the time, but nothing I ever heard before this was as raw and bombastic. I fell in love with the sound…not just the music.
Years later, on my tour with League in 2004, we actually got to visit, record, and spend the night at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, MN, where In Utero was recorded and mixed.
It was a dream. I remember walking the grounds thinking about how a few of my idols had been there 12 years before tracking this album. There was a little stream that ran behind the studio where Kurt went to work on lyrics and songs. The Neve console that Albini tweaked. The live room where Grohl’s drumming filled up every corner. Sadly, none of the members of League can find the recording we did there, but it will always live in our memories.
Needless to say, this album holds a special place in my heart.

A sonification of the Higgs-Boson.
The last variation is quite good.

I spent my 4th of July working on refurbishing this glorious 1972 Fender Rhodes.
I’ll hopefully have it finished within a few weeks.
The Dads are back at Calibrated Recording. Sweet.
The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds was released 46 years ago today.
There really is no way to express how much I love this album.

I’m selling my monome. $500.
Sadly, I haven’t had time to really play with it, so it is brand new. I’d rather see someone get some use out of it than just sitting on a shelf.
Moreover, I am selling it so I can finish refurbishing the Rhodes piano that is in my house.

Hey, I released an album about a year ago. It contains 10 songs about my hometown, Binghamton, NY. Eight songs are up for streaming, and the last two come with a purchase of the album!
You should check it out.
