Marie & the Atom

Pt 2 of my blog on Flying Nun multitrack tapes, analyzing two songs by the amazing MATA, recorded by Terry Moore for their second EP "Spit it out" in 1985. What does the tape tell us? Have a read & listen to samples of the original multitrack audio.

Flying Nun on Multitrack

First installment of my blog about these special tapes in the FNR and Chris Knox collections at National Library of NZ. What is a multitrack? What is on these tapes? And how can you listen to and research them? Have a read. 👇👇

I like all the superb owl posts and the super bowl posts because Go Birds! works for both.

Go Birds! I don't own any Eagles kit, but I found a green shirt. Of course it is Kelly green (midnight green is ugly). #gobirds @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social

Cloudy morning and hard to see. But got a small glimpse of the Blue Origin New Glenn launch. Could definitely hear it . @blueorigin

Sun setting on 2024 (I know, a day late posting). It's been a crazy year. Would like to think 2025 will be a bit calmer, but... Happy New Year! #happynewyear

On this day, 14 years ago, I went to my first Art of Record Production Conference at Leeds Metropolitan University. Here I stepped into an amazing community of music production researchers where I gained colleagues, friends, and in truth, a new career. @lbu_lsa @smprmusic @arp_conferences

First time trying a turkey pot pie with leftovers. The magic is on the inside. Will do again.

Like I said, I mostly post about audio and food, but mostly food. Here's some butter paneer I whipped up tonight.

Happy to have the rain, but a thunderstorm in November in Philly is a bit concerning.

A great day in the studio with @benoneillguitar @isaiah.weatherspoon Yes, the mic angles look weird in this picture. @drexelmusicind @micparts T47, S25, SDC-84

I keep being advertised how to migrate to Canada. What circumstance might have prompted that?
November 18, 2024 at 4:45 PM
OK, how about some lemongrass beef. Nothing fancy, but delicious. I know, I know, why am I posting food pics? Mainly because it brings me joy.

As an audio engineer, I’m very excited about all the echo chamber discussions…
