Sampling and beat-making magic over at Ruby Red Studios with Jake Sinclair and Katie. This is how I like to do it: a new song, soup to nuts, in one day from sound-gathering and sampling to beat-making and the hook.
We should probably call this one Penny Arcade since we made most of the track with pieces recorded from a nearby pinball machine. Also, electric razors as bass-bursts for the win.
Guess who’s finalizing the artwork for the Looper soundtrack?! Damn straight, it’s Marke at The Made Shop.
I’ve been working on the Looper soundtrack album mixes with Ryan and they are sounding tasty (and tasting hi-fi?). Late last night, I sent everything off to Alan at West Westside to begin the mastering process. I almost posted a new track to celebrate, but now why would I do that when we’re SO DAMN CLOSE?!
A little blast from the past, circa 2007. This is our very first collaboration with Mr. Son Lux. Little did we know there would be many more to come…
He snagged and remixed a little vocal clip from “Easy Days & I” — a song off my first solo record, Firecracker. Have a listen!
After a great time at Comic-Con, Ryan and I decamped to the Son Lux studio. We’re spending this week preparing the score for the Looper Original Soundtrack album. Very excited for you guys to get this in your ears!
Behold, the physical version of the album!
Designed by Marke at The Made Shop, Photography by Chris Kuehl, H&Mu by Bethany Johnson. I wonder if this is the last time that CDs will ever show up on my doorstep?!
See you on the road this month!
Guess what just arrived…
