An Unintended Vacation

Posted by Flick in Puddlegum on 03 31st, 2010 | View Comments

In what was meant to be a one day break from blogging, I’m back from a month-long silence. During this time I have been recollecting my thoughts, relaxing, and working on projects.

If you’ve followed Puddlegum for more than two years (thank you!) you might remember that I am a recording engineer. It has been a year and a half since I’ve seriously recorded, due to reasons I won’t explain here, but during the past thirty days I decided to test the waters again. I found it to be inviting and have begun booking artists to record. I’m excited to share that several bands and artists have asked me to engineer for them, and a record label asked me to master a compilation.

Note: Email me if you’re interested in hearing audio samples of my work.

I have also taken this time to turn to classic artists of the `60s… albums I’ve spun many, many times. I’m finishing a book by Geoff Emerick called Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles. Emerick was the engineer for the Beatles and he has written a beautiful memoir on his experiences. I’m purposefully reading the book slowly since I don’t want it to end. And of course I have to listen and relisten to every song he describes in detail. So I have been sipping coffee and hearing artifacts in the Beatles’ recordings that I never noticed.

Along with this, I have been working my way through Bob Dylan’s recordings in chronological order, in memory of a friend who died 12 months ago. He was a big fan of Dylan, and I can’t help but think of him when I listen to these songs I’ve heard hundreds of times. We miss you, Garrison.

    We’ve got parallel paths right now. I’ve been going through The Beatles Complete Scores and this past February I created word clouds for every Bob Dylan album. :)

    Haha! That’s great! Do you have a link I could check out? I’d love to see the word clouds,
