Finally got around to building the last of the large panels that have been missing. One to fill the wall behind the new desk, and clouds above listening position and drum area. I might be imagining it, but the Vulfpeck video that was on all night sounded more focused as the first cloud went up. That's cool.

Meta is hiding a lot of new original music, but you should go find this tasty angular math pop wherever you stream.

Allergic to Feathers is the first single from what is now known as Higher Learning, the set of 2006 recordings that The Parallels .parallels.music recorded in the studio at Southwestern Illinois College.

Drums, vocals and guitar were recorded live in one take and a single additional guitar part was overdubbed. There's no bass here.

This track was mastered with the entire album here at Great Wave Recording around 2022.

The LP will be released August 2 of this summer.

Couple of days spent this last week on a special new record featuring , David S. Burk and David Lloyd. Really beautiful jazz/blues trio with vocals and harmonica. Everything was recorded live, no overdubs, most tunes done in a single take. The illustrious was in, doing video and still shots for the album promo.

A lot of good music is out on this beautiful Bandcamp Friday, and here are two such releases that were tracked, mixed and mastered here at Great Wave:

Greg Chako Trio - Standard Roots; Greg's 17th LP of his long and prolific career. Notably Greg's first record of jazz standards (his prior albums were nearly all originals) and most of the performances here were first takes, which was great fun to witness in the studio.

Ditner - This Ghastly Act; the first single from his upcoming LP The Longest Division (May 31 2024). Art pop/dark indie. This is the only uptempo tune among the rest of the album tracks - done with folk instruments and no electric guitars/bass (aside from lap steel).

Go listen - both releases are streaming everywhere today!

Listening, getting used to the new monitors. IN-8 V2 3-ways are replacing the older Tannoys. Love the sound coming out, love the features, especially the bass and treble shelves. Excited to mix with these guys!

I was privileged to once again work with my good friend Iffer - drums, mix and master on his new release "Wounded Hoof".

He never ceases to put out incredibly unique & exciting material, and I'm lucky to be invited to work on some of it.

Built some mono-stereo TRS Y splitter cables. Never needed cue mixes before now, but tomorrow's session might be the most technically demanding live recording yet. Now set up for 4 unique cue mixes out of 6 available headphones.

Another LP out! CP70 was the base for most of the tracks. Lots of guitars but nearly all through solid state amps this time. Settled on a fun new drum mic setup that involved five surround mics, a mid-side config and no overheads. There's some cello and upright bass, got to use the new Epi hollowbody with flatwounds, and pulled out an old offbrand P bass with new electronics for a super throaty, pianolike attack.

Go listen wherever you get your music!
