a cardinal rule of working in recording studios, often forgotten in this modern age: think VERY HARD before you tell the band you're working with "hey, this kinda sounds like Genesis"

Happy Yes Day!

THRICE "Albatross" is out. Bass! Tone! I mixed, Teppei Teranishi recorded, @matthewbarnhart.bsky.social mastered. Atiba Jefferson(!) shot the band photo officialthrice.bandcamp.com/album/horizo...

glue warmth polished transparent colorful depth organically warm punchy

I too have a passion for the musical instrument industry

greg is great, as is this newsletter name

Studio wiring will continue until morale improves Does someone make 8.5x20 printer paper? Patchbay labels are too crafty / multistep

Oh man, this got me. Lovely

napalm death. gonna put a “trample me” sign on my back and stagedive from the balcony

Goddamn @gse.bsky.social @eaezone.bsky.social This thing rips on bass. I’ve been blasting a RAT for the longest time but a NEW contender for ‘always on’ has entered the building. Absolute wrecking ball. So stoked on this.

fuck yes @leahsottile.bsky.social can’t wait to read this

rippers from these rippers

Lovely 25 min doc about making the new Coilguns LP in Norway, by Valentin Lurthy. I am the person speaking english

Please don’t ever talk to me or my son ever again.

THE KWB+ RETURNS! Third run is finally here. Thanks for your patience. Buy one here:

MUSEUM OF LIGHT “Diviner” is out. A big rocker full of hooks and cool sounds. What a great band. Somehow we recorded this in Norway. The band made it a vacation after the session, and I got to walk into the freezing sea every morning. Recommended.

yay new @slowmassmusic.com LP is real recorded by me at Palisade & Type One in Chicago mastered by Amy Dragon

Seeing a lot of people battle it out on the internet about this pro tools metering thing I have no take but please remember: most audio people do not understand how software works

Here with a new series of posts where we did a little deeper into the tools and techniques used to create our new album — Emotional Activity Room. - How Did They Get That Sound - First up, a drone weapon which appears in tracks across the album. Meet the Casio SK-1!

I’M MOVING STUDIOS. Next month Antisleep relocates to the west room of Jack Shirley’s Atomic Garden in east Oakland. Fuck yes! Jack and I will operate separate private studios, but we’ll share mic closets/amps/vegan ice cream. I am thrilled. Genuinely a dream come true.

15 years ago if you told me we'd tour with YOUNG WIDOWS I'd have lost my mind. We are stoked. tickets inthewalledcity.com/shows/

I’m halfway through “The Color Of Law”, which is about racial segregation as US govt housing policy. The writing is dry and academic, but every page or two I have to stop and close my eyes. It is physically painful to see all this laid out. Strong recommend.

Ayyyy new Pelican LP tracked by Sanford Parker mixed by me mastered by @matthewbarnhart.bsky.social

Just came across this Old Man Gloom ripper from 13 years ago. I think this was my first live remote? Shit rules. Watch the mic on Aaron's guitar cab good times, @aqdoc.bsky.social

We've had one of Dan's prints hanging in our house for a few years and I love looking at it ("13 color silkscreen" wtf)

“Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent” rewired my brain. Incredible record, good time to buy it thanks @foveahex.bsky.social

Don’t do this

I do love loud rock bands but I also truly love chopping up electroniks and building weird shit

Alternatively, you can donate to a different trans-rights org or gofundme - just send me a receipt and I'll send you a download code. Trans rights are human rights and it's crucial for us to say it out loud. thanks

Mixed by me. I really love working with Avi

been a minute since I wrote a @tapeopmagazine.bsky.social feature, nice to see this Lathe Cuts piece in print (and I learned things)

Everyone: wear earplugs at shows & band practice Fitted plugs are great if you can afford them and don’t regularly lose things Otherwise I like the Etymotic musicians plugs, which are $15/pair

YES

sepultura sunday

ayyy new MARES OF THRACE recorded & mixed by moi, mastered by @matthewbarnhart.bsky.social

the hitmaker and another amp

once again broke & replaced my favorite mug. never surrender
