about

I have a goal of releasing a vinyl record album in the near future. This is complicated by my attachment to analog purity; I want the music that is heard when the needle drops to never have touched a computer. For me, I can hear a spaciousness and realistic clarity in classic recordings from the 1960s and 70s that I feel is important towards creating healing music. On January 21 and 22, 2021 I recorded to tape at Guilford Sound in Vermont, USA with all of this on my mind.

What I am sharing here is a glimpse into the process and some of the recordings from that day, unedited and recorded directly off of the repro head of the tape machine into ProTools at the highest fidelity possible. I decided not to publicly release anything from this session because I was dissatisfied in my performance. However, some trusted ears who have listened told me that they enjoyed the music and that I should still share it in some way. So here it is.

Edit 7-26-23 --- Listening back a couple years later to these recordings, I'm now unable to see why I judged these performances so harshly. It's likely that at least one of these tracks will be publicly released. Thank you my dear patronage hub subscribers for your support.

A prayer and a process, Joel’s music aims to heal, calm and strengthen.
