URGENCY: Sunset Lodge Studio/The Cave
recording of urgency began at sunset lodge studio – a gem of a place hidden behind solutions’ elliott smith wall in sivlerlake
sunset lodge is run by chris rakestraw who is straight up incredible – wired/built the whole place himself and keeps the vibe mellow but professional. bartered for our time there by building him a website
the rest of the recording/tracking was done in my bedroom aka the cave – a lot of noise (and noise complaints) was created. good times in small spaces with lots of electronics, feeding of bizarre levels of light
Zimoun: “Woodworms I” VIDEO
a little over a year ago i picked up a sony pcm-d50 – i was alawys interested in found sound recordings and, from what i could tell at the time, it was a beautiful machine. a year out its quality remains although i’ve never used it quite as much as i’d like. sometimes i use the fire application on my iphone but typically i’m never as alert as i should be to the sounds happening around me. these noises are a marvelous thing and these type of recordings are like binoculars for your ears.
when i saw this video/audio take of woodworms burrowing through wood, it reminded me of my portable recorder – incredibly mesmerizing (via say mayday):
The Franks Recording Session
Thanks to Garret for getting up this little clip – The Franks recorded an EP a month ago that we are currently mixing literally around the world. Colin is in Sweden, Sarah is in NYC, Ryan (our friend who did the recording and helped produce) is in Prague. What would modern living be like without e-mail? I’m still in LA which makes me feel boring but at least I have a tan.
