A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.

It is created between the cracks. it is amplified. if you listen, you feel the space between time. it is created in a life without time. caught in a shadow of light. nothing can exist here. but this does. it is beautiful. it is ephemeral. it is gone.

We are still working on making some words for this song. We like to make up silly titles for songs before we have the lyrics, so the title is just kind of random. Liz does everything on this track, with the help of Garageband.

Spaghetti Party was our first foray into recording a complete song. MK came up with the idea of writing a song about her friend/co-worker who has "spaghetti parties" which involve him lying on his back on a couch in the basement by himself shoveling…

This song was written to celebrate freedom, actually, (the Russian at the end is one of the dudes from Freesound.com saying "sound should be free!") after a decade when I wasn't. Props to Shreya, who apparently is like me and will just not go…

This was the first song Shreya played me, and she said it came to her in a dream, and I believe it. It's flooring, and her vocals/acoustic guitar are relatively untouched. I added the other virtual instruments, and if you listen carefully, you…

Answering the question of whether or not overdone reverb has been uncool for so long that it is now cool again. The answer: no, still uncool.

After I finished collecting and mixing all the trumpet tracks from Montgomeru, I was no longer sure which one of us actually wrote this song.
