Think About It was late night thought that was built around the thread
of an acoustic guitar and wrapped in a 3 part vocal harmony with some
non-linear speak/singing..
The essence of our studio is a laptop, an Apogee Duet, a Gefell
Microtech, and an explosion of instruments all located within our home, a
wooden bungalow in Thailand. The inherent noisefloor has forced us into
a different way of recording, and pushed us into a new approach to
songwriting.
Crickets and night creatures are undeniably and unavoidably recorded
into the heart of the kick which was captured by a mic-ing my foot
stomping on the wooden floor.
Once again, Kosma Solarius did a tweak on our mix and did his magic
with the mastering. We are truly fortunate to have his excellent ears
and abilities living right next door.
This mix dives back into the old true heart of stereo, so headphones will take you far deeper into this mix.
The genre is a mystery to us, so we answer that question with a question mark..?
there's also a video of this track here on our site i have no brilliant ideas about how to describe this song.. Essentially, Tracers is a blend of video shot here on Koh Phangan mixed with public
domain imagery culminating in a collage visual. Tracers evolved in part
from the influences around us.. Bangkok was burning as the words were
finding their way to paper, and you don't have to look far to see the
effects of the continuous waging of war.. seems like we've evolved
little from the time when a sharp pointed stick ruled the land.. A very special thanks to Kosma Solarius for his excellent work in finalizing our mix and mastering the audio.
This tune was written by Liz Gilbert, whom you can easily find within soundcloud. We recorded it here in our bungalow in the coconut grove on Koh Phangan in Thailand. Kosma Solarius helped us with the mix and mastering for which we are very thankful.
Jackson has that bitter sweet edge that grabs your heart and won't let go.. The body of this song (drums, bass, and piano) was created by Ted Hall, vocals and guitar by Ea Birkett.
Star 2 Star is about non-language language & groove, about getting at emotion and intent without the specifics of words, and it's about following through with the philosophy of an idea.
This version was recorded live at the Jam on Koh Phangan Thailand, by Kostsa Jagoulis, from a palm thatched roof wind blown stage right on the beach. The moon shimmering on the bay... Written by Liz Gilbert aka Anodyne2art.
Normally, you won't find us doing many "cover-tunes", but we recorded this track for a Vancouver musician who wanted to do one of the most recorded songs of all times. Philosophically, it was troubling to us ( ie: why do something that's been done a million times?), but we found our difference and produced this track. This is our moscow fish version with Ted singing the lead vocal.
