Blog
In the style of the original “web logs,” this blog is a simple record of the various creative projects I’m working on. It’s mainly for my own reference but you are, of course, welcome to read along. Subscribe

Adam Rabin
- Recorded new guitar and vocals for “Heliopause”
- Kept same piano and synth tracks from May 2020.
- Mixed and mastered and it’s done. Only took a year.
- [edit: listened the next morning and still like it.]

Studio
- Used newly-functioning acoustic pick up to do test recordings. I’ve never been happy with my finger picking recordings. The tests today had two mics and the line from the pick up and it sounds beautiful.
- Bought a Ludwig Acrolite snare drum from the 70s; sounds sweet. I love my Gretsch kit but could never get the wooden snare to pop like I want. The Ludwig is aluminum; crack!

- Greg sent me an 8-line lyric “Charity” a couple days ago.
- While walking the dog this afternoon I figured out what we should do with it.
- I sent a simple beatbox rhythm to Greg and he recorded his vocals along with it right into his cell phone camera and sent it to me.
- I added the beats, guitar, and organ.
- And it’s done. Releasing it tomorrow.

Groundhog Day
- Working on remix/remaster of our 2nd album “Looking Beyond My Fence.”
- I only have the multi-tracks for a few songs so options are limited.
- Will probably finish today or tomorrow at the latest.
Studio
- New Taylor pre-amp just arrived and it worked. Very fast work, USPS!

- Finally got around to giving the song I did with Joe a few years back a solid remix.
- “Possession” was written and recorded for a Leanan Sidhe dance piece at the 2016 Art of Horror show.
- No plans to release yet but who knows.
