It just so happened ░▐ ▌░ that there was a little cabin available for rent right next ░▐ ▌░ door to Zoe and Brian in the mountains in Western MA. So I ░▐ ▌░ grabbed my truck and drove out to the country. As I settled ░▐ ▌░ into the cabin over the course of a month, I grew really ░▐ ▌░ connected to the space itself. The one room cabin felt like ░▐ ▌░ the inside of an acoustic guitar - it was such a joy to hear ░▐ ▌░ the notes reverberate in the space. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ I got a hankering to capture it, so I called my friend Phil ░▐ ▌░ and asked ôHowÆd you like to get outta the city and make a ░▐ ▌░ record that sounds like the inside of an acoustic guitar?ö ░▐ ▌░ Phil said ô100%ö and by the grace of some of our dear ░▐ ▌░ friends, we were able to gather the materials needed. Brendan ░▐ ▌░ lent us about 45 tape machines. Eli lent us a binaural head ░▐ ▌░ (which looked remarkably like Phil), and Shahzad lent us a ░▐ ▌░ pile of XLR cables. I drove into the city at 5am on the 20th ░▐ ▌░ of April, scooped up Phil and then we filled my truck to the ░▐ ▌░ brim as we stopped and gathered the gear along the way back ░▐ ▌░ to Massachusetts. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ We unloaded all of the equipment into the small cabin and ░▐ ▌░ began setting up. Unfortunately, one of the first things that ░▐ ▌░ happened was the unstable electricity fried four of our tape ░▐ ▌░ machines, including the Otari 8 track. Bill tried to fix it ░▐ ▌░ at his shop in Sturbridge, but it was beyond repair. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ After almost three weeks of setup and troubleshooting, the ░▐ ▌░ studio finally was operating - although the only functioning ░▐ ▌░ tape recorder we had was PhilÆs battery powered Sony Walkman. ░▐ ▌░ We felt at peace with the idea that we might just be ░▐ ▌░ recording the whole record on cassette tape, but that would ░▐ ▌░ have meant no overdubs, so IÆm grateful for the rescue Otari ░▐ ▌░ 8 Track that Brendan was able to dig out of storage and ░▐ ▌░ deliver to us right before we had lost all hope. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ I had a handful of songs that I was planning on recording, ░▐ ▌░ but by the time Phil arrived I was on a whole new level of ░▐ ▌░ heartsick and the songs were flying through my ears. I was ░▐ ▌░ basically lying in the dirt half the time. We went with the ░▐ ▌░ flow. A lot of the focus was on getting nourishment from our ░▐ ▌░ meals. We cooked directly on the woodstove, and we went on ░▐ ▌░ walks to the creek every day to bathe. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Nine of these songs were written freshly during the recording ░▐ ▌░ session. We began and closed each day with an improvised ░▐ ▌░ acoustic guitar instrumental, and we made a collage of our ░▐ ▌░ favorite pieces, which became the first side of the ░▐ ▌░ instrumentals album. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ IÆm grateful that this music has come into existence. These ░▐ ▌░ songs have helped me heal. I hope that at least in some small ░▐ ▌░ way this music can be a friend to you. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ wav -> mp3 scene standards ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post . kraut ░▐ ▌░ darkwave . alternative . lo-fi . country . americana ░▐ ▌░ folk . folk/rock . psychedelic . progressive . metal ░▐ ▌░ heavy . hair . math . grunge . classic . southern . aor ░▐ ▌░ west coast . punk . garage . avantgarde . classical ░▐ ▌░ electronic . ambient ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://adriannelenker.bandcamp.com/album/songs
