3:@guatecoop (drums)
4:@elesimo (bass, vocals, lyrics)

From Elesimo:
I received the tape only on March 1st, due to delays in the mail because of weather and other shenanigans. The tape had guitar, synth and drums, leaving for me the 4th track with the click.

I felt that the song was missing a bass, as well as vocals, so I decided that I had to bounce the existing tracks in order to make some space. Since I wanted to have the guitar and the synth separate in the stereo field I mixed the 3 existing tracks down to 2: guitar and half-volume drums on track 4, and synth and half-volume drums on track 1. This way I could pan each track to a side and keep the drums in the middle at the same level.

Once I had 2 open tracks (2 and 3) I recorded the bass on track 2 during the weekend, and today I recorded vocals on track 3. I wanted to do the mix on the 4-track instead of using a computer, so I used the Empress ZOIA to add compression to vocals and a room reverb to everything, recording directly to a Zoom recorder.

I really like how it turned out! Bass and vocals are definitely out of my comfort zone, but I think the bass tied up everything together and I really like the lyrics.

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
