Do I Look Worried (Isolated Guitar/Vocal Mix)

musicmaker.org

Tim Duffy has devoted the last two decades of his life to the Music Maker Relief Foundation, a non-profit that helps musicians in the South that have fallen on hard times. In late 1995, around the time the organization launched, he found himself in a New York brownstone with Eric Clapton. "Eric noticed the 1930 Martin 00-18 sitting in the corner," Duffy says. "When Eric began to play, it was spellbinding and among the most amazing musical moments of my life. I picked up my guitar and quickly tuned it a half-step up to match his and began to play some back up guitar licks that I learned from Guitar Gabriel."

The duo recorded a cover of "Mississippi blues" by Willie Brown that Duffy has recently dug up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Music Maker Relief Foundation. "Music Maker is a fabulous project," says Clapton, "real evidence that the music I have always loved is alive and well."

We Go Home

"When I get asked to do mixes I often take that as an opportunity to put together a selection of my favourite pieces from a specific era, genre or composer. In this case I compiled a number of my favourite Japanese electronic tracks as I have been listening to a lot of that stuff for the past year or so."

Throughout the last decade Ulrich Schnauss has produced three albums which perfectly captured his vision of taking the 90's 'Shoegaze' aesthetic - very uncool at the time as we'll discuss below - and placing it into an electronic context. With the new album 'A Long Way To Fall' Ulrich felt the need to change and explore new avenues. And it's another beauty.

On the 3rd July, German born musician and producer Ulrich Schnauss will play an extra special live A/V show at Electrowerkz. We decided that this was the perfect time to have him create his Ransom Note Mix and we caught up with him to find out a bit more about his background, his mix and his general thought on music;

The Lowest Pair-In The During Of A Moment

This is a song I started writing in September and produced several versions of.  This version was used in Grey's Anatomy on November 20th, 2014 in Season 11 episode 8.  
lyrics:
I have seen all I care to see of this world, it has no more for me.
I need the calm, forgiving peace, that only comes from my family.
I want to home, I want to go home.
I'm following the lead of the setting sun and I'm going back where I came from.
Like an old oak tree, that no longer grows- as time went by I got hollow.
If you don't know when to stay, if you don't know when to go- then you might be building your own gallows.  
I want to go home, I want to go home.
I'm following the lead of the setting sun and I'm going back where I came from.
Momma's on the front porch waving for me, my father's got his hands fixing something.  My brother says that he's just glad to see my face. 
That's why I'm going on home.
I want to go home, I'm following the lead of the setting sun and I'm going back where I came from.  And I'm going back where I came from.

Fred Thomas - Bad Blood

Harriet Brown & Astronauts etc. - Fiction

Landscape Dream is Abram Shook's followup to 2014's Sun Marquee, an album VICE called "…pleasant as fuck" and Texas Monthly called "…compelling, weird, and lovely."  Applying what he learned through writing and recording Sun Marquee, Landscape Dream demonstrates how much Shook's songwriting and production acumen has sharpened over the past year.  Creating Sun Marquee was a learning process, where songs were often forced out of experiments in recording techniques.  As Abram explains, "I had a lot of thoughts I just threw out there, but often I arrived at dead-ends and had to figure out how to make something out of what was available."  However, on Landscape Dream he "went back to writing with just voice and guitar and then used arranging, production, and recording ideas pulled from Sun Marquee."  The effectiveness of his new approach is clear from the 70's rock of "Find It" and "Chelsea" to the African vibes of "Get Gone", the dreamy Brazilian vibes on "5AM" and "Beach Glass", and the slow-jam soul found on "Perfect", "Jaw", and "Vessel".  

To capture the songs, Abram joined forces with some of Austin's elite engineers including Erik Wofford, Danny Reisch, Justin Douglas, Grant Johnson, and Christopher Cox.  Over the course of several months the team explored where each of these 12 songs would go.  One example of how far they took the songs from their original form is the energetic "Find It", which started as a fast tropicalia tune Abram wrote on a classical guitar, but through production choices evolved into an ode to garage-rock, psychedelia, and Zepplin all in one. 

Like many of us, Abram dreads the exhausting sea of digital noise, which can be detrimental to our ability to foster meaningful human connections.  To escape the deluge of social media, texts, emails, etc, he takes a daily walk in a vast, underutilized South Austin park with his dog.  Carving out a little time to step away from the laptop and cell phone has become a crucial ritual for Abram, allowing him to reflect, and get some perspective on the world and how he fits into it.  Landscape Dream features several songs that reference that precious time he spends communing with nature.

In addition to working on his own music, Abram became a touring member of the Austin-based band Shearwater in 2014.  As tiring as touring can be, escaping the noise of his everyday life provided him with intense periods of self-reflection.  Much like his daily walks, he found the solitude of touring to be a nourishing and enlightening reminder of what really matters, and that awareness and clarity helped him pen many of the brilliant songs you'll hear on Landscape Dream.
