Rubbed in Dirt, Dipped in Sugar writesHow Records Are Made
Before we start, I must admit that capturing live sound into the grooves of a durable plastic disc that can withstand thousands of playbacks is still a mind-blowing concept to me.
Over the years, I’ve participated in virtually every aspect of this process, from recording live sessions, to running a record label, organizing and archiving masters, and of course collecting records, yet the details of this process still amaze me.
This short article is meant to shed some light on the mechanics of this transformative process and help illuminate the way that songs find a new home in the bumps and folds of melted and pressed shards of vinyl shrapnel.
Erik Roldan writesBear In Heaven Stream New Album as Experiment
On April 18, 2012, Bear in Heaven will be playing at Schubas – surely a venue catered to hearing a band’s textures and layers. Until then, the small rock house isn’t your only opportunity to hear the subtleties in the rock band’s sound. Touring in support of their new record, I Love You, It’s Cool, the band is offering fans a free stream of the album over at their website. BUT HOLD ON. SLLLLOOOOWWWW YOOUUUURRR ROOOLLLL. I Love You, It’s Cool is streaming now, stretched out to 400,000% longer than the real length. What that means is that even though the stream went up in December, if you started listening when then and waited until it finished, you’d be able to hear the entire thing just once. Justin Beiber, eat your slowed down heart out.
