The Ice Plant

‘Tis the season (to produce Christmas songs). These @lpmusicofficial sleigh bells arrived this morning. They sound just awesome, are LOUD, and robust and durable enough to hammer nails. This thing has some serious weight though all you need is a light touch for this one to light up Rudolf’s nose. 💡🔴🦌🎅🏽🔔 . @shellybhushanmusic . . #shellybhushanmusic #christmas #christmassong #christmassongs #holidaymusic #christmascarols #snow #winter #percussion #sleigh #sleighbells #latinpercussion #jangle #producer #musicproducer #mixengineer #nycmusic #christmasinseptember

Exploring our new Mellotron M4000D with a short composition I created for marimba and bass clarinet ensemble:) A modern version of what is essentially the first sample-based synthesizer, the M4000D sounds identical to the original Mellotrons from the 60s and 70s, as the sounds are sampled from the original first-generation tapes that the vintage ones were made from. Updated for modern music production, it has various output and expression options, MIDI, etc. Other modern features include aftertouch, depth sensitivity, plus the ability to play and blend 2 sounds simultaneously-- which I think makes the unit really powerful, as it can create some lush textures even when playing a single note. When it comes to playability, it feels quite luxurious, as the M4000D sports a wooden keyboard that is remarkably smooth and responsive. All combined, these features create a truly seamless, expressive, and ANALOG experience while also giving the convenience and stability that the digital realm provides. And on top of that, it’s loaded with 100 loops from the Mellotron and Chamberlain libraries, making it essentially all of the best Mellotron models in a single instrument. Thanks to @danphysics at @altomusic_bk for sending this our way!

That feeling of dread when you reopen the previous day’s mix wondering why it sounds off, and the sigh of relief/facepalm that follows when you remember to re-engage your buss compressor 🚌🎛..... . : #smartc2notsosmart #latchneeded #mixing @ckierce #newmusic #comingsoon #youcanstealthesesettings . . #recording #studio #analog #outboard #nyc #brooklyn #queens #longislandcity #astoria #glue #punch #ssl #studiolife #audioengineer
