EPITAPH - Merrit Malloy

"When I die

Give what’s left of me away To children

And old men that wait to die

And if you need to cry

Cry for your brother

Walking the street beside you

And when you need me

Put your arms Around anyone

And give them

What you need to give to me

I want to leave you something

Something better than words

Or sounds

Look for me In the people I’ve known

Or loved

And if you cannot give me away

At least let me live on your eyes

And not on your mind

You can love me most

By letting

Hands touch hands

By letting 

Bodies touch bodies

And by letting go of children 

That need to be free

Love doesn’t die

People do

So, when all that’s left of me

Is love

Give me away"

SCR Vox will be set up in good sightline to Studio, but not too far from Mains. We may have a lot of takes, so fleet use of Mem Loc Window and documentation is extremely important. 

Final delivery will be via Soundcloud.

Please note that when I edit details into this post I will flash a comment to kick through your notifications. Stay on top of it, this is your session. I am Producer.

Noel Ford on the Road with Dinosaur Jr.

Noel Ford sends a report from Sicily, on the road with Dinosaur Jr. Noel came in to MARS, producing Jane Lee Hooker for Multi-Track class last semester.  I'm stealing this from his page:

"J with purple Hendrix Marshal. Dino show was great tonight. Lots of cool jamming, sorta like Hawkwind meets Can. Never heard them do that. Really cool."

J. Mascis at the stacks. Mics look 2 b Sennheiser 409/609s

That's a lot of energy aimed at the vocal mic position.
Noel just turned around from touring China, Taiwan and Korea.
N. American tour geared-up, back to Asia by Halloween, finally in NY in December at Terminal 5.
