More About This Album:
My first album. Was meant to be a showcase for the breadth of my skills: synthesized beats, sampled beats, beatboxing, rapping, lil bit of singing. Was also meant to be an attempt by me to showcase my ability to pay homage to / do something in the vein of classic hip hop while still showing my unique sensibility / perspective.
I'm v happy with this album. The trickiest part might've been achieving the sound I wanted, working with Digital Performer for the first time.
Many of the beats were begun in Rochester. Most all recording done in my lil apartment in Ravenna after returning to Seattle in 2000. Mixed by me. Cover art by me.
Mastered by Paul Gold at his studio at Brooklynphono, Brooklyn, NY.
Synthesized beats sequenced on my Korg X3. Sampled beats used Korg in conjunction with E-Mu ESI-32 sampler. Beatboxing, rapping, singing recorded directly into Digital Performer.
Bishop I, Eso, Doug Blair featured on "It's Like That, Anna".
