This was my graduation project for my Audio Production degree. It's a smooth-lobed, chilled-out, alleycat-version of an unreleased Andross song called "Moonracer".  

Special thanks to Kevin, Drew, and Tom for helping me out with this.

Personnel:
Tim Balch - vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, keys, percussion, production
Kevin Folk - Producer, engineer, mastering
Drew Grahn - trumpet
Tom Brucker - drum kit

Recorded at Warm Body Studios & Chaplin's Studio in Fall 2015.

lyrics:
it was 13 years ago
I was stepping out of line
it was loss of will to follow suit
 I’d nearly lost my mind
 
now my essence stalks the shadows
 and it’s never been the same 
an apparition pining for the earth 
meandering from which it came  

and you’ve spooked me
 I can feel you in my bones

  yeah I’m the conquistador 
yeah I’m the one that you’ve been looking for 
yeah I’m the boy who runs forever 
and I just wonder where all my time went  

frail and deserving 
a starvation walks the streets 
the dream I can’t stop having 
where our black possessions meet

because every night I hoped that 
you’d be looking at the moon 
and somewhere close 
your golden spirit shines
and your specter bleeds maroon  

are there no prisons? 
are there no workhouses?
 are there no prisons?


Moonracer (Lounge Version)

this is an audio project I did last year that I still think is kinda cool. I used a bunch of reverb and backwards effects from my loop pedals. It's wacky deli. 

oh and Cody Heebner played bass on this.

This is another project I did for my Capstone class. I wrote the unsettling acoustic guitar part and recorded Tom's part into a cheap megaphone.
