Sound Replacement Alchemy?

Posted on 20. Sep, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

They say that you never really finish a record—you just stop, and I tend to agree with that. Chad VanMeter of Homeless J is a consummate artist. So much so that he has enough self-awareness and artistic courage to be able to take songs that have been around for a long time and make changes [...]

LOVES me some multi-instruments…

Posted on 09. Aug, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

Yup-nothing like a little fiddle, banjo, and Hammond organ to bring some “Americana” to the game. The Shiny Shiny Black project is well under way… Lee Holderman on some massive keys: No pics yet of Shawn or the banjo player, but Nate and I went outdoors to record hand claps. We over dubbed like crazy, but [...]

Little visit with Jack Joseph Puig

Posted on 01. Aug, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

(This actually took place back in March of 2010, and I posted this on the Phil O’Keefe blog on the ‘Harmony Central’ site, bit I thought it was worth re-visiting.)   Well- here’s my report from a very enjoyable evening at Sweetwater, with producer/engineer Jack Joseph Puig speaking about life in the music biz, and [...]

Guitar, Amps, and a Big Pedalboard

Posted on 31. Jul, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

That’s what you get when you beg/borrow, steal a bunch of your friends’ amps and guitars in order to find the perfect tones. In the last couple of weeks we started recording all the guitar parts for the “Shiny Shiny Black” project, and it’s been a lot of, er, fun! We first recorded Speedy (Anna) Pasquarello playing [...]

Deadlite Redemption Weighs In

Posted on 20. Jul, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

Saturday, June 8, Jessi Maule, Vic Badillo, and the rest of “Deadlite Redemption” rolled in to record a no-holds-barred 3-song EP for the summer. As you can see, it’s a true “live in the studio” recording, with Jesse’s live vocals used only as a double for his actual vocals (which we overdubbed), or in a [...]

Shiny Shiny Black

Posted on 30. May, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

Yup–that’s the name of my old and dear friend Nate Butler’s band, and that’s who I just started working with today. I’ve known Nate since he was a little non-shaver, and he has simply arrived at a musical point that demands attention!!! Well, maybe not attention, but at least some more gigs. They’ve asked me [...]

Blast from the not-too-distant past.

Posted on 21. May, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

I was rendering some mp3′s today when I spied with my little eye one of the many Grave Robber folders in the “TBush Recording folder. I hadn’t listened to this stuff in a long time, and I got the biggest ear-to-ear as I listened to “Tell-Tale Heart” from their 2009 CD Inner Sanctum. It’s got [...]

Stuff Breaks–Deal With It.

Posted on 20. May, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

Yes–”stuff” does indeed break. As related in my previous post, my old APC back-up died. I thought it was time to replace the batteries, but apparently these “Back-UPS XS” units are notorious for randomly going into overload mode (with nothing plugged in), and there is no repair other than to replace the entire circuit board [...]
