On Monday and Tuesday of last week we moved our operation to Park West Studios in Brooklyn to record the next album for Clean Feed. Jim Clouse at Park West was fantastic - the kind of engineer we like - no nonsense, he got great sounds right away, and was supremely efficient. We spent five hours tracking on Monday and four hours mixing and mastering on Tuesday, and it was a done deal. Nice to have Pedro from Clean Feed stop by the studio for part of the time on Monday as well...
The music was two extended compositions, one by myself and the other by Jason Mears, organized into nine separate sections. Jason's piece was new for this tour, mine we've been working on for over a year now (it's the same composition we presented at the ISIM Conference in Chicago last December; click here for a peek at the score).
More info on this record as the project progresses. This one is going to be quite different, even we were surprised at how the music came out. Certainly the goal was to compress what we were doing with these extended compositions in our live concerts into 3- to 8-minute tracks. I think we achieved that, but the ensemble sound is very, very different than anything else we've done. We haven't decided on a title for it yet, so there's not much more I can reveal at this point other than this sexy, sexy waveform (yes, that's the entire 55-minute album):

man, that wave format is very sexy. You should make a calendar and really clean up.
sounds like a very successful trip. Can't wait for the new album!
