Hearts and Galaxies will be my third solo album, but it’s my first truly SOLO album, in that I’m playing all the instruments myself.
Why play everything myself?
When I was around 12 years old and just starting to experiment with recording my own music, I loved creating recordings of myself where I’d play every instrument. I’d make a “drum kit” out of suitcases and cans, tune my guitar down low to make it sound like a bass, and overdub (using the old two-ghetto blaster technique) as many instruments as I could to create the music that was in my head.
There’s a certain sound that comes from playing everything yourself, and that’s what I wanted to create with this new album. I wanted to make music like I did when I was 12. Except now I’m using real instruments and better recording equipment.
On this new album I play guitars, lap steel, bass, drums, percussion, keyboards, baritone guitar, baritone ukelele, and even a little slide whistle. The only other sounds you’ll hear are the sonic manipulations and ambiences of Joshua Van Tassel. Josh is engineering and co-producing the album alongside Dean Drouillard.
