So, in having an honest conversation about what you are listening to and hearing, there is a level of disclosure I feel like I need to have. Is this A.I? And the first answer I can give you is No. It's also the easy answer and a less than honest one. At various stages of needing to repair files I had to use AI. All of the parts were played by humans. The engineer at the helm when this stuff was originally tracked was green and inexperienced. Not to mention he likes to needle forever and makes nearly everything unlistenable from over-production. Relax. I'm not bashing someone. That person was me.
The three little 8 song records were recorded in Animas, Nm. There isn't a facility there that I'm aware of, so I had to use borrowed equipment. I had the hand drums, a cajon, a djembe and some shakers and microphones, and a couple of acoustic guitars when I arrived. There is a small artist/ retirement/ RV/ tiny home community out there and most of this was recorded there. I was mourning the loss of several dear friends and a family member when I wrote these songs. I was also experimenting in two styles of music that I was inexperienced in. I've been a punk or metal guitarist and vocalist my whole life. Except for that time I ran off to become an action hero, but that is a different story for another day….
