Name: The Sealers - Across The Bridge by bkbirge in All Together Now
Duration: 4 min 30 s
Description: More pseudo new age psychedelia from the way back machine. Lots and lots of awesome Roland Juno 6 on this, some drums, even an old (new at the time) casio sk-1 toy sampler keyboard for the "magic". Enjoy, from 1989.

All Together Now

I recorded this as (Galaxy Soundwave Project) track in 2015.

Eliminate

Now the theme for “Only the Show,” a podcast that interviews indie musicians.

Only the Show Theme Song

2nd track from the first studio release from The Sealers, circa 1989. Lots of weird percussion going on here, we had the studio full of people with shakers, bells, even a big piece of stiff paper to make the earthquake noises. Really an exercise in foley and a lot of fun. The first part is an old 4 track tune that Scott did and then the Elephant Walk part is the studio portion. The themes of environmental conservation are repeated throughout a lot of The Sealers' tunes, particularly influenced by the hippie ethos and Magic Bill who joined the band later than this recording. Unlike the vast majority of The Sealers, this tune used a Yamaha DX7, an early digital FM synth instead of analog synths. FM synths in general make pretty fantastic bell sounds and this one is no exception.

This piece was recorded in one pass using two Audio Technica AT4080 ribbon mics in Blumlein Array feeding two channels of GML mic pre, an RME ADI-8 DS A/D converter and into Pro Tools 10. No overdubs. I used minimal EQ (a little 1kHz to pop the vocal up), reverb, compression and limiting.

Oh, and it was hugely fun! I'm proud to have these talented guys as good friends and thank them for helping me demonstrate the power of these Audio Technica AT4080 ribbon mics in Blumlein Array.

A Minor Scramble

Blues In Fat Tues

Currently, I am not able to leave comments or upload media. Apparently emails were bounced back when my paid email lapsed. I get the message of unregistered email address. I am working on a fix 😜 

Influences ranging from early electronica, experimental, classical/baroque, new wave, new age, and progressive rock. I've recorded under numerous pseudonyms – Galaxy Soundwave Project, Hidden Temple of Saturn, BetwixtRx, Rhythmosis, and Melvin Mantis of Ataien, just to name a few.

My project, Turquoise Avenue (2015-2018), had 56,000+ downloads and double that number in listens on Jamendo. 

Did I mention this profile was once called Back Trax?  I ditched that moniker when I shifted gears. Back Trax  focused on creating hypnotic hip-hop instrumental backing tracks – those have since found a new home on another platform.

Studio rat. Genre hopper. Bass & piano player. Writer and builder. Lover of cheeseburgers.

I specialize in the "mistakes are interesting" school of production. So depending on your point of view my selections will either be sloppy or chock full of character. Feel is king. I hate making music with a mouse. Real pianos, tube guitar amps, and a lifetime of listening applied. 

Music and production I like for various reasons: 70's style jazz fusion, Headhunters during Chameleon phase, Frank Zappa, George Duke, Lou Reed, Bill Laswell, Rudy Van Gelder, Tower of Power, The Crusaders, The Meters, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, John Prine, Kev Hopper, Mark Egan, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk, Charles Bukowski, Larry Graham, Peter Gabriel, Niacin, Spinal Tap, Bros. Johnson, Bootsy, Jamerson, Die Kreuzen, Dead Kennedys, Film Noir, The Cramps, Propaganda, Buddy Holly, Surf Guitar, Captain Beefheart, Neil Young, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, Western Swing, Scrunch up your nose stank Funk, modular synth music, ambient, soundtracks, early pre-baroque music.
