I’m just back in Hamilton after a stint in Montreal seeing family and friends, playing and recording a couple of songs.
My old buddy Jean-Marie Leblanc (Vengeful, Hourglass) was producing the recordings. JM has previously helped out my band Parsimony back in 2006.
A new friend, Emmanuel Pronovost (Neokosmos), recorded vocals and guitars at his brand new (yet unnamed) home studio. Then later we did the drums in a jamspace in the Cite 2000 complex.
The experience brought back memories. Some good, some bad. Part of me wishes I would’ve kept going with music back in my early 20s. But I chose another path and my life turned out all right so far. No big regrets. Thankfully I can still play guitar and sing and write a new song once in awhile.
Anyways I think we had a really good energy and were perhaps even scratching the surface of something profound. I hope we can work together again soon.
See JM below banging on maybe the most intense metal drum kit ever used to record folk music 🙂 We were half joking calling it “tech folk”. Then we realized that #folktech is actually an established thing with its own hashtag and everything.
Samples incoming….
UPDATE JULY 2020: Here are a couple of demo tracks available from these sessions. Listen to MAZINAW and JUBILEE.
