Sound X 4
January 13 2008

It was the tail end of a two-day January thaw here at Blue Star, and the weather was in the upper 50’s. The day before brought temps into the 60’s and yet another nor’easter is on its way tonight. The sun came out to greet our smiling faces as John O’Reilly, Bruce Nelson, Rich McGhee a surprise visit from Charley Kulinski (fellow didge player) and myself came together for sound x 4.


The session had a nice jell feel to it, getting to know these guys a bit better and the studio mics reflected that. The at times snappy pace and carnival type sounds that flew from the instruments lead the musicians comfortably around some familiar and some new sound scapes.
Original, free flowing and rhythmic best describes the feel of today’s session. At one point as the sun was setting and blazing through the studio windows, a Wizard of Oz vibe came into the room and some trippy lyrics about the Witch of the west emerged, nice! Thank you Rich, John, Pro Drummer Charley and Slow, see you guys in February!
