Have you ever worked with someone in person (in a studio)?
I have been working with local troubadour, Lloyd Mark Sutton. We have been kicking around sound ideas and slowly making his record come to life. It’s been a lot of fun. Today, I’m working on a little 6/8 song with an addictive sway to it. I bought some new tools and I’m having fun doing this.
I feel very lucky to work with Mark in person. It’s an advantage. Working online is fun too, but I don’t feel the results are the same quality. It’s a luxury to get to work together. Most folks I do music with are online. I love those collaborations too, of course. It’s not about how much I love them, it’s about what we’re able to do in the same room together.
The work must flow (in the studio).
It is striking, the difference in workflow with two folks in a room versus over email. I’m wanting more “in person” work.
Email me (at the studio):
If you wanna’ record with me in the studio I work at, send me a message. [email protected].
Ask me about it, or about money. Ask me about facilities. Food. Room & board. It’s probably cheaper than you think. I recently traveled south to record with a friend I have worked online with and I am sold on getting together. It’s better for the music. It’s also antifascist and anti AI. I just love it.
Facilities
I work in a one room studio. Also, I have a nice music room at the house. We can get a lot done for not much.
It’s about joining forces
I truly feel for the good music to happen, we have to learn to get together for creative projects. I’ve felt this way a long time. The answer isn’t in any one brain. It’s in all of ours. Music taps into that. We squander the possibilities often because we simply refuse to team up.
I can’t be good at everything, personally. I want to make really good stuff. So I need folks in my work relationships who have complimentary skills in order to make music how I like it. Doing it all by myself on a computer and a guitar feels empty right now. I’m not saying it won’t make a comeback. But right now, I need folks with a pulse to talk to and work with.
It’s antifascist to work together in the studio.
One thing folks against us want us to think is we are alone. They make outlandish statements and look to see if you agree. If you don’t, you’re an outcast. This ain’t how life works, it’s how oppression does. I fight it by finding folks who feel like I do. I’ve found so many that I understand I’m not an outcast, I’m being bullied and silenced. It’s threatening to oppressive regimes when folks gather for artistic purposes. Therefore, I’m making a habit of it.
Think about it.
If you’d ever like to come visit and record something. I’d like to help you do that. I got all the stuff. Thanks.
