RTB2 - Intro/Hands Where Words Cannot Go

this song by RTB2 sealed the deal for me when i played a show with them back in 2007.  i was like "holy shit".  i knew i wanted to record every squeak, creak, twang, and bang this song had to offer someday, as my ears heard it.  when the session finally came in 2010, i wasn't disappointed in the slightest.  still can't believe the perfect dissonance and frontrow energy contained here.  was especially happy when mixing this to find that there was a hole that needed to be filled in the middle.  so i cooked up a simple keyboard part, unobtrusive to their sound.  honored to be a part of and to have captured this masterpiece.  recorded on a TEAC a-2340sx 4 channel multitrack tape machine, onto 1/4" tape.

RTB2- When Hammer Hits Stone

new side project called - Programme.  this is a portion of an improvised jam we recorded on an iphone.  excited to develop this idea more. 

Programme 2

collaborating with robby rux on some synthpop tunes in his head.  he came over and sang the melody using all these changes without accompaniment.  i figured out the harmony and added analog synth/beat machine backing for instrumental demo.  the intro/outro is an interesting byte that i heard my 6 year old nephew improvise on the piano several years ago.  been wanting to paste it in somewhere.  seems to work here.  using a casiotone 403, arp axxe, korg delta, and moog mg-1 on this.

for entertainment purposes, i really don't like the city of arlington very much.  was just about to make a nasty post about the town when i read a friend's facebook post where he said that "if you can't say it to someone's face, don't say it on facebook".  i felt convicted to let the city of arlington know my intentions before making a derogatory post, and recorded the call just so no one would think that i was lying about telling it to arlington's face.

i like this fort worth band - the cush.  especially when they play as a duo, using their casio keyboard beats for drummer function.  my favorite way to hear shoegaze/dreampop usually.  recorded them with an iphone at a recent show.  great song.
