Great Wave Recording

Finally got around to building the last of the large panels that have been missing. One to fill the wall behind the new desk, and clouds above listening position and drum area. I might be imagining it, but the Vulfpeck video that was on all night sounded more focused as the first cloud went up. That's cool.

A lot of good music is out on this beautiful Bandcamp Friday, and here are two such releases that were tracked, mixed and mastered here at Great Wave:

Greg Chako Trio - Standard Roots; Greg's 17th LP of his long and prolific career. Notably Greg's first record of jazz standards (his prior albums were nearly all originals) and most of the performances here were first takes, which was great fun to witness in the studio.

Ditner - This Ghastly Act; the first single from his upcoming LP The Longest Division (May 31 2024). Art pop/dark indie. This is the only uptempo tune among the rest of the album tracks - done with folk instruments and no electric guitars/bass (aside from lap steel).

Go listen - both releases are streaming everywhere today!
