Breaking Fuel.. #Empirical #Rock #Experiences
As a duet, are just saturated with openness, looking for journey of sounds and encounters of the living.
Having been invited by the Clouds Hill studio, recorded a large part of their next album in Hamburg, here is the 4th 7"(45 RPM) "GREAT" extract from their future album “Make our Delay Great Again”

Breaking Fuel’s leaders tends to gaze at the stars and their album takes root in the surroundings of Bordeaux using drum&bass storming, to fly away in the clouds of the Clouds Hill studio in Germany (Bosnian Rainbows, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Pete Doherty, At The Drive-in, Gone Is Gone, Faust...)

Back on Earth, the band has chosen Paris to create the whole album with the producer and sound engineer Camille Jamain (Studio de l’Atelier / Paris) for the production/preproduction process, additional recordings and the final mix (En Veux Tu? En V'là!, Le Cirque électrique, FOH engineer for "Le réveil des Tropiques"...
). 
He had already mixed their previous opus "More More More" and he's back in tip top shape for the pleasure of our connoisseur ears.

"When we were there, we got a warm welcome from the team of the studios’ team! The main protagonist of the session, Sebastian Muxfeldt, beautifully succeeded in handling our rock n’ roll fever!
Thanks to him and to all the teams there, this fabulous trip (not a bad one!) will stay forever in our hard disk memories, stimulating all our senses! We keep these precious updates in mind, whether on an artistic, human or technical point of view and we wish most people could live that kind of creative moments, which is so important in the life of a band."

Additional recordings were done between Paris and Lacanau.
They also could rely on the renewal of the support of great guests such as Adrián Terrazas González (The Mars Volta, TRAM...), Matthieu Lesenechal (Big Sir, Lisa Papineau...) and also of the very inspiring sci-fi writer Alain Damasio ("La Zone du Dehors", "La Horde du Contrevent", "Les Furtifs"...). 

They've also decided again to work with the illustrator/visual artist DERIK for the creation of the artwork and japanese artist Ema Kawanago for the enhancement of the fundraising campaign process among other things to come...

With the help of Camille, Jean-Charles Bastion ("Paris est à nous")gave them the right to attend the mastering session in his intergalactic studio at MER/NOIR in Paris and it was an unforgettable experience!

G1 - Breaking Fuel - Make Our Delay Great Again feat. Adrián Terrazas-González

This is an instrumental track I wrote.
Three electric guitar parts, 3 synth parts, bass and electronic drums.
Written, produced and performed by Laurence Wilson.

The Incredible Melting Man (Instrumental)

Written, produced and performed by Laurence Wilson

Wee-a-woo

I used only synth and a bass on the backing track.

Beautiful Woman

A stereo recording, best heard on headphones.

1978 - A BBC radio announcer listing the cast of a radio play. This was made into a loop which was played backwards several times, each time with different treatments.  This is a slow-developing thing, and strangely hypnotic.

NOTE:  Owing to the number of overdubs involved in its creation, there is quite a bit of hiss on this recording, even after digital noise reduction.  You get used to it!

SEELIGRAM MAIRIM

A loop. Was feeling relaxed and summery today but I came up with some sad bass chords! Then overdubbed some lines. The art is a crop of a thing from last month when I was experimenting with inks

Fundamentals

Music For World Peace: Improvised Guitar and then a Stack of Overdubs 4.23.2025

One of my favorite methods for creating music by myself is to record to a click (in Ableton Live) starting with one instrument. The first instrument I play a continuous improvisation for a set period of time and this becomes the arrangement for the song (i try to do no edits or note-repair to the 1st instrument).  
Then I start layering. 
For this video/song I started with the Stratocaster (most of this video shows this single, improvised take) 
Next I added bass (Fender Jazz Bass) and I looped the 1st 4 bars, while listening to the Stratocaster part and click. I came up with an exact part to compliment the Stratocaster improvisation and then move on to the next 4 bars. I repeated this process for the whole song. My goal is to create a supportive part that makes the Strat improvisation feel composed.
Then I repeated this process of section-by-section composing with a Telecaster guitar layer, a lap steel layer (Gretsch),
then Drums which i did a bit differently. 
Drums were recorded while listening to a mix of all other instruments plus click, in a continuous way straight through the whole piece. I believe I did 6 full takes of drums and then edited ("comped") the best parts from each to create one continuous drum track.
Then I added 1 more drum take played with mallets for washy cymbal hits to add some drama.
Recorded 4.22.2025

Sky Uncle Jamboree - Aaron Holstein 1 Man Band

Playlist 1:
HOW D'YE STOP THIS THING?
We were an electronic family.  As children of a Radio Ham, my brother and I grew up surrounded by magic boxes full of glowing valves and high voltages, our ears thrilling to the ethereal sci-fi soundscape of the short wave bands. Hardly surprising, then, that we should both develop a fascination with audio, electronic music and recording technology.

One of those magic boxes was a half track mono Vortexion WVB tape deck. In the mid 1970s I used this machine to record a number of bizarre pseudo-musical cacophonies involving tape-loops, home-made oscillators and found objects. For these purposes, the Vortexion's most useful feature was a switch which turned off the erase head.  This enabled me to overlay new sounds directly onto an existing track.  The only problem was that, being mono, there was no other track to bounce to, thus no way I could overdub in sync with myself:  I had to rely on the delayed output from the playback head. This is why most early tracks involve vague drones and random sounds.  And, of course, as I would be recording over the original track every time, each new take was an irrevocable step; a one-off; no going back !

Playlist 2:
A SOUND SPANKING
In 1981 I bought a ReVox G36 (all-valve predecessor to the A77) which could do track-to-track overdubs, and from 1981-84 I used this machine to record numerous songwriting demos.

Then, as it is all too fond of doing, life got in the way and the songwriting got shelved. The tapes lay in their boxes undisturbed until 2001, when I got my first computer and discovered the capabilities of digital editing.  I overhauled the G36, dug out the tapes (some of them by now rather fragile) and set about digitising their contents. The results were then re-worked as multi-track edits, adding new vocals and, in certain cases, a number of MIDI-synthesized instruments - all the ones I could never have afforded to own 20 years earlier. ;-)  These recordings are the basis of this set.
