In four days during October 2015, we recorded music that took us four years to develop. We worked two-day sessions, two weeks in a row, with Joey Bradley engineering. Each song was recorded “live” to 24 track digital, and only a few minor overdubs were made – mostly the vocals. The overdubs we did do were recorded by Charles Brotman in his LavaTracks studio in Waimea. Everything else is on the album as
originally recorded.
The “mix” was done by Tom Rothrock,
with help from Mike Tarantino.
Audio mastering was done by
Don Tyler in Los Angeles.
Mahalo to Anna Pacheco, who took all the photographs on the package, including the cover. She photographed recording sessions as well
as our performances.
Thanks also to Tyler Jon and Brian Danielson at Cravedog Manufacturing in Portland for their help actually making the CDs.
