Scully Sound

It has been my pleasure to master the first-ever community CD project from MetaFilter. Under the careful wrangling of cortex (aka. Josh Millard), the project came together over the course of the summer. This was a fun and challenging album to work on, with tracks ranging in style from electronica and folk to garage-punk and rock. Thanks to the musicians, the visual artists, and, of course, to Matt and Jessamyn, the admins of MetaFilter for supporting the endeavor. Proceeds go to charity, so order a copy today!

This experimental jazz trio explored rhythms and emotions with short, unscripted pieces. This was my last gig with Bobby Hill and Transparent Productions. I greatly enjoyed working at Sangha to create this series of recordings. The results were well received and I will miss this great performance space and all the people I met.

I recorded three songs for David Ben Reuven and his group, Bread at the Gate. The recording took place at a band member’s house, and presented some unique challenges. I took direct signals from each instrument and blended that with room mics. Recording the group as a whole allowed each member to explore their improvisations much as they would in a live performance situation: the soloist and other musicians work together and play off one another in real time. This is much different from the “overdubbing” that is usually done in studio work.
