Lexicon Mist, by Red Hare

Can't believe I forgot to post this till now! I'm so happy to have engineered the bass guitar tracks on two of the tunes from this Red Hare EP. Unbelievably honored to have Japam in the liner notes of a Dischord Records release.

True friend of the studio - Harlan doing some much needed repair work on our Rhodes. Fully tined, tuned, and tweaked! Sounds better than ever!

Katie Mullins

Oh man! Throwback to when Katie Mullins recorded and mixed a full length here! Some fun shots of our space in a previous iteration. Even a couple frames of Sam's back in the control room! All set to the lovely song Boats and Bouys. Thanks for making music here, Katie!

This was filmed during the recording of the song Boats and Buoys, which is on the album Wedding and can be found here: https://katiemullins.bandcamp.com

Haven't posted in a while, but we're still here making noise. Some great projects have come through in 2015, and there are some more coming before the year is out! Will post some more pics, audio clips, and info as I find the time.

Believe it or not, this amp setup was not for a doom metal session. Keys and bass tracking for the new Rachel Brotman record!

06/22/2015

Just finished up drum tracking for the new Rachel Brotman LP! Looking forward to absurd amounts of keys in the coming week.

This Saturday, during Bushwick Open Studios, we are doing a show on the rooftop of the studio. It's going to be awesome. A lot of great friends are playing and putting this on, so come on out!

Geometers

A rare look at Sam in his native habitat! Tracking demos for his band Geometers.

Coming together...

05/03/2015

A range of stock and modded rats; each with its own different flavor. Does this make anyone else think of light sabers?

Expanding our pedal arsenal. This is a harmonic percolator clone Sam built. It sounds completely insane.

Sometimes, low wattage is the way to go.

Forgot to snap any pictures while Husbandry was in the studio this past weekend. Luckily Jordan took care of it. Check out that gratuitous pedal/cable shot!

While everyone was posting their opinions on Kanye last Sunday, we were doing a little somethin down at Japam Recording and Rehearsal Studio .
