About Me

The 'soundbathing' album is one musician, mackey+, taking the songs of 8 other musicians and transforming them into fully-fledged hopping tunes.The 8 players were invited to mackey+s studio to record one of their original songs with just a guitar and their own singing voice in unplugged form. Over the winter of 2005/6 mackey+ transformed those songs into full bodied layered tunes by adding keyboards, drums, bass, guitar, piano, a verity of loops and FX. The first 8 songs on soundbathing are the result of this undertaking. The following 8 are the original unplugged versions. Hear the difference.
