oh! and since @foveahex.bsky.social is on bsky, that second song has a loving nod to “neither speak nor remain silent” which was a northstar for this work and changed my life a bit

We set out to make long ambient drones and soundscapes. We ended up making strange, beautiful pop songs that I love. But the process was hard and very slow, and I guess killed this project on the vine. So this project starts and ends here. We have no plans for physical media or PR rollout.

Hours and days of piano into modular, mined and formed into songs with Ev’s vocal stacks (so many of these are first takes), my beats, hand-played basslines, and more piano. There is no MIDI and almost no “synth”.
Caitlin Keen (viola) and Evelyn

This music is built on a foundation of tens? hundreds? of hours of live performance, chopped up and framed into detailed little structures.
a creaky old steinway upright, with an AT4050 pointed at the hammers and routed into a modular synth.

GOLDENER is Evelyn Davis (piano/voice) and me (modular synth/pro tools). Our self-titled EP is out today, on bandcamp and the streamers. I love these songs and am so proud of them. Unfortunately this is hello and goodbye.

For any psychos who want a list of all your installed Pro Tools plugins + manufacturers, here is a shell script that does that Written the old fashioned way (no AI, swearing at xpath)
#!/bin/bash

cd "/Library/Application Support/avid/Audio/Plug-Ins"

for i in *.aaxplugin */*.aaxplugin ; do
    NAME=`echo "${i}" | sed 's/\.aaxplugin//'`
    BUNDLE=`xmllint --xpath \
        'string(//key[contains(., "CFBundleIdentifier")]/following::string[1])' \
        "${i}/Contents/Info.plist"`
    COMPANY=`echo ${BUNDLE} | sed 's/[^.]*.//;s/\..*//'`
    echo -e "${COMPANY}\t${NAME}"
done |

kurt ballou appreciation post
So you feel like your overall job changes on metal records as compared to, say, an indie pop record?

[Indie pop productions] require more insight as to the song and the lyrics and what kind of feeling the songwriter's trying to invoke. When you're recording a metal band, you know what feeling they're trying to evoke. [laughs] You just think, "Satan, Satan, Satan." When you're EQ'ing the bass guitar you're like "Satan, Satan, Satan." The snare drum - "Satan, Satan." It's more the technical challenge of, "How do I achieve the maximum amount of Satan?"

a cardinal rule of working in recording studios, often forgotten in this modern age: think VERY HARD before you tell the band you're working with "hey, this kinda sounds like Genesis"
