Recording studio diary – August 2007



Tim plays fire extinguishers, originally uploaded by dgans.

Recording at Mix-O-Lydian Studio in Lafayette, New Jersey, with Tim Carbone producing and other members of Railroad Earth in the band. Don Sternecker is the owner and engineer.

Eric Rawlins and I had the experience a decade ago of having our songs turned into a record (Home By Morning) by a talented group of players, producer and engineer. Same deal for me this time, only better because I am ten years farther along as a player, singer, and songwriter. Plus this producer, Tim Carbone (violinist of Railroad Earth) is tapped into a network of phenomenal players, and he and I see eye to eye on the nature of the mission. He’s making into me a better player, a better singer, and a better songwriter. We’re recording a number of songs that have only ever been played by me, solo, with my loop accompaniment; to hear those grooves and changes played by great musicians is a profound and thrilling experience. They’re taking these songs exactly where I wanted them to go.
