Boring, stupid, nerdy tech stuff…

Posted on 07. Apr, 2015 by Tim Bushong in News

I love technology. There—I’ve said it. I’m with Kip in this regard, although he’s in a precarious position regarding La Fawnduh and his song, in which he declares his undying love for her—and for technology. No woman wants to be compared to an Acer… equivocate much? Nonetheless, advances in technology make my work as a [...]

Can Anything Good Come From…Elkhart?

Posted on 12. Feb, 2015 by Tim Bushong in News

No offense to my friends who live there, but we used to dread driving from here in Syracuse to where our singer, Dave Loren, lived in Berrien Springs, Michigan, because it meant that we had to make the trip through…Elkhart! Aaaagh…nowadays, county road 17 just shoots straight up through everything (love it!), but back then [...]

Drive the Nail Home

Posted on 14. Apr, 2014 by Tim Bushong in News

Well, it is finally finished—the “Shiny Shiny Black” project, “{Travelers}” , is recorded, mixed, mastered, and now being manufactured. They say you never really finish a record—you just stop—but I can now say that the fork has been stuck into the roast, the last coat of paint has been applied, and the final nail in [...]

Mixing Pinestock Live

Posted on 28. Sep, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News

My good friend Nick Weaver and his business partner have put together a cool, one-night local music festival called Pinestock, held just northwest of Churubusco, Indiana. This year almost every band’s performance was captured live on an HD24 Alesis 24-track digital recorder, and the tracks then came to your truly for mixing and mastering. It [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
