I’m in Chicago working on Hamid Drake’s next Bindu recording for Rogue Art. It is a reggae improv vibe, and we had a blast on the first day in the studio. We are recording at Soma Electronic Music Studio in Chicago. John McEntire is the owner/engineer. It is a very cool hang, he has great mics, and tons of cool old school electronic music gear.
The cool AEA ribbon mic I am using.
Jeb Bishop in the “trombone corner” standing in front of some of the vintage keyboard gear that we aren’t using.
Hamid is playing tablas on one piece.
Napoleon Maddox (beat boxer/rapper/singer), Josh Abrams and Hamid working out an arrangement.
Traveling light…sans trombone stand.
More soon.
