Here is the latest…
We showed up at Mission studio in Brooklyn NY this past Saturday 12/11 at 10:30 am to start setting up drums, guitars, and getting sounds for a full day of R&R tracking..
Here’s the roster:
Stacie: vocals
Jeff Allen: Producer: Bass guitar
Jack Petruzelli: guitars and keyboards
James Mastro: guitars
Jeff Lipstein: drums
Sound Engineer: Oliver Strauss
It was a freeeeezing but very sunny day and I felt calm, confident, yet buzzing w/ excitement and anticipation about what would come of a fast and furious 12 hrs of recording.We only did two four hour rehearsals prior to the record date. The idea was to know the songs, and be rehearsed, yet not over-polished. Thus leaving some room for instant creativity, combustion, and energy in the room to emerge; for songs to bloom, and blossom, burst, and become what they would become. We were going for beauty and edge, the storm and the calm, that intangible electricity that happens when great musicians come together in a moment of sonic fury & harmony.
It worked!!!..The thing we had hoped for! The songs whipped, whirled and spiraled around me like familiar dreams that had expanded & exploded. The stories unfolded. I gazed around the room from time to time with pleasure and rare contentment; taking in the
intensely impassioned, trance-like, expressions on the musician’s faces, realizing we were all sharing the mood, the moment and the songs. The songs had become part of a collective energy, and I realized that I was doing the thing
that I was meant to be doing at that moment.
I am grateful to have gotten such amazing talent in that studio and to have Jeff Allen producing this portion of the double EP project. He is a great friend, collaborator, and a rare talent.
The good vibes sent by my team, friends, family, etc..via txts, FB, phone, etc.. contributed to the success of the day
and is much appreciated!
I have included a photo from that day which will be in my memory and heart always. I can’t wait to share the music with you and once again appreciate your support immensely!!
Wishing you & yours a very happy & healthy holiday season.
Until the next update!
