Phil Skaller and I had a great two days recording in Studio A at UCSD (Nov. 21-22). It all went quite smoothly after our production meeting with studio head engineer Joe Kucera and our engineer Martin Hiendl. The idea was as follows: I play trumpet, flugelhorn and process it electronically with my laptop (my own software authored in Max/MSP) and Phil Skaller plays prepared piano and I process him as well. What a blast, but what a workout. The sound turned out quite nice! We have a CD release concert in San Diego in January, but there is no way I’ll have this mixed….so we will consider it a preview concert…
Royer 121 and Neumann SM69 for the trumpet

Phil assured me that there was an algorithm to the method of placement….

this seems like the kind of recording session that needed videotape, a stripper plus pole, and plenty of whiskey…thanks for the photos!
