PA Songwriters'/Composers' Association

Here's my latest EP (originally released in June) with remastered (actually "first-time-mastered" ;D) audio!

The mastering was done by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering - I think he also did the mastering for a release by the band Battle Stations (who are on PA as well)!
If you'd like a free copy for reviewing purposes just drop me a line and I'll gladly send it to you via WeTransfer :)

Enjoy!

Has anyone ever tried recording additional parts for other people's tracks and using those parts for his own material?

I live in NYC.

I should check dat

I am a bit surprised you're not a jazz fan. It strikes me as something you'd like— at least the post-bop and free varieties do. I do like it occasionally, especially of the more experimental (e.g. Green Room, Sun City Girls), non-Western-oriented (e.g. Embryo, Oregon),  and/or electric (e.g Miles Davis fusion stuff, Terje Rypdal) kind of jazz, but I generally don't reach for it very often.  When it comes time to pick horns or guitars, I almost always go with guitars.  Or keyboards, they're good too.  You know what I mean.  I'm not Crazy about jazz, with a capital C, dig?

I getcha. I almost always avoid guitar in jazz, though. The horns and rhythm section are what do it for me. Jazz guitar, to my ears, is vapid and doesn't have much sonic versatility. I've only recently got into jazz, too, which is weird because my dad and my brothers are all jazz musicians. I would recommend to you "Sahara" by McCoy Tyner. Its pretty intense and crazy and uses koto and other instruments non-traditional to jazz, but doesn't require as much focus as, say, the second great Miles Davis Quartet. It doesn't have guitar, though.

I'm really enjoying the pseudo/sentai stuff. Not entirely hooked on the vocals, though. They don't sound as confident as they should be.

Also, digging Superdensecrushloadfactor a lot as well. Really nice, mix with a certain "thickness" about it.

I'll listen to some of Dennis' stuff soon.

Hanashukketsu, Superdensecrushloadfactor, and Psuedo/Sentai are all great k

The other Blasphart song was good too. ALSO: I should have some King Stevens rehearsal demos to show soon. I'm kind of anxious to get this stuff out there. Me and my brother have written hundreds of songs for the project over a period of three years, but it will be a long time before we're in the financial position to record a full studio album.

Actually, we the band felt the same way about the drums, and have since re-recorded them to have a bit more groove and a bit less business in there.  The current mix is a bit more streamlined and probably more accessible, but at the expense of some of the "unhinged" feeling of the link I provided.  I think it's a good tradeoff overall, fits better with our overall approach.

Looking forward to your King Stevens stuff.  Even a rough demo would be welcome to give us an idea as to where you're at.

HolyMoly wrote: Pseudo/Sentai forever!Superdensecrushloadfactor forever!that second one doesn't roll off the tongue as easily, but it's still true.

I don't think that Gabe was going for a catchy name.

But... It does represent his music well. It feels very heavy even when it's not.
