BLK W/BEAR - Langlotz Sessions
So, I've been sick as f#@% for the past two weeks. I've also been equally busy.
I was in DC last week for work (face time, don't lay me off) and recording with BLK W/ BEAR. Once again, we recorded with Rich Morel at Pink Noise Studios. Rich is indeed a sweet and wonderful man and it still amazes me that we work with a producer/engineer who is also currently working with Cyndi Lauper, and nothing we ask him to do phases him, at least on the surface.
We also had a real photo session for promo photos. I'm feeling lazy, so I'm just going to cut/paste the blog entry from JS Adams from the BLK W/ BEAR myspace page. Three of the tracks from this new session are available for review there, too.

The Langlotz Sessions
BLK w/ BEAR have completed a new round of recordings. Seven new tracks and mixes were created this week at Pink Noise Studios, Takoma Park, Maryland under the able tutorage and talents of Rich Morel, recording engineer.

JS Adams [ loops / prepared vinyl / source electronics ]
Doug Poplin [ cello / effects ]
PD Sexton [ bass / effects / source electronics ]
'valve_languere' was previously highlighted during the BLK w/ BEAR performance at the DC Sonic Circuits festival via a YouTube video and featured on our myspace front page. The track 'brokerage' is destined for Ultra-red's "What is the sound of the war on the poor?' project and finds its spiritual roots in the RIO works of Henry Cow, particularly 'living in the heart of the beast' ... given the project's one-minute time restriction on contributions, the compact 'Miniatures' tracks of The Work and Metabolist were conceptual godfathers as well … BLK w/ BEAR with drums! Other tracks will find their way to a Trace Recordings label compilation due in early 2009 ... and *fingers crossed* future BLK w/ BEAR product. Three of the new tracks have been uploaded to the myspace player.
Also during Pete's time in the District, Todd Franson (who shot the MetroWeekly feature on Queering Sound) proffered some mega-bytes on band photos. A couple of results are in the photos files.
Many thanks for the inspiration and continued support of family and friends.
