About Me

Recording on the 4-track is what I do when I'm not spending time with my wife and our family (usually late at night). I'm using a program to convert the 4-track stuff to MP3's. I can't put spaces between paragraphs. Broken slide was recorded in Richmond Kentucky in May of 2006. I was going to add a track of slide to this song (my glass one I got at the swap meet) after I listened to it like it is up here, but when I went to pull out the recording equipment there was no sign of the slide. Upon further inspection there was a crunch underfoot. My glass slide was no more. I have since obtained a new one @ the swap meet. Paste the Sea was recorded in late April of 2004. I dedicate this song to Becky Ward. The vocals were recorded with delay originally. I applied the reverb on the keys and guitar when Erik and I mixed it. I wrote it on Fazardo's 88 key. Heapload was recorded around late 2002. I did 2 tracks of guitar and 2 tracks of vocals. Erik Norgaard played the bass and did the drum part on his keyboard. Hidden underwater was recorded in 2004 on the Tascam 414MKII 4-Track Recorder after watching "The abyss" one night. I put my guitar, some guy's roommates bass, and Chris Fazardo's 88 key electric piano through a filter effect on my processor (I didn't have a wah pedal right then). Then I did a track of vocals with some ping pong delay.
