Back in 1995, I was living in Tucson, AZ and working in a record store. The "senior" staff there had control of what music was played over the sound system and, aside from a number of industrial dance beat shifts a week, it was a great place to be forcibly introduced to new mu...
I mentioned my next project on Facebook a little while ago, so I decided to post an update here about it. Chad Hildebran, Asheville's premiere open mic stand up comedian and drummer and I have been practicing the songs for a few weeks now. It's all going well. We have 7 songs...
It feels like it's been a year in mixing, but finally it's done. Or I have given up. Or whatever. I'm pretty sure it sounds great. I've been enjoying listening to it while updating all the web sites and what not. The album art is, as promised, Night Of The Living Dead "themed"...
As you may have heard from Facebook updates, a couple of weeks ago, I took a week off from work to write and record a new album. I did the same thing with Sour Grapes two years ago (almost to the day) and was very pleased with the outcome. "Get to some place locked away and li...
Finally, I'm getting around to posting about this. I still can't believe it's happened. The Yes, Mayhem album is now finished and is available for download (donations appreciated) at yesmayhem.com, which is a Band Camp site, as well as on this site on the Discography page. It...
Dan posted this up a while ago at chunkstyle.net, but I forgot to add it to the site until today. The first real life evidence that the Yes, Mayhem project is not a figment of my imagination: Yes, Mayhem - Naked Fight (nearing finality mix) There will likely be more mixes of t...
From the worst microphones to the best ones, a comparison of each of the microphones that I own. It's funny, now that I have added the recordings and listened to them all side by side. You can really tell how much each different mic colors the sound. If you get to know your mi...
Last fall, I took a week off and recorded an album. Pretty much start-to-finish, soup-to-nuts (please e-mail me if you even know what that means), from the vaguest ideas to ready for mixing product. Seven days. There was a warm, sunny Saturday last summer, that I spent an hour...
All set, folks. I have uploaded all of the recordings, entered the lyrics into the database, uploaded album art, added the album to the jukebox playlists, etc. The only thing that isn't working currently is the big zip file with very large album art images for printing. It tak...
As you might know, I have been recording for about 14 years, never having very decent equipment to work with. My outlook has always been that it is better for me to have a drum set, bass, multiple guitars, mics, and a recorder, all told, spending the same amount that most musi...
