Hi Folks!
I'm pleased to announce the very first episode of Shaking Through Volume 4, featuring an amazing new R&B singer you will be hearing a LOT more from in years to come, named Steven A. Clark.
The curator was Chris Swanson. He is the founder of Secretly Canadian Records, and part owner in Jagjaguwar and Dead Oceans Records. (You may also remember Chris's brother Ben who curated our June 2011 episode with Dreamers of the Ghetto.) His selection, Steven A. Clark, is from Fayetteville NC and currently lives and makes music in Miami FL. For the recording of the song "Bounty", Steven was joined by The War on Drugs David Hartley and Robbie Bennett (on bass and keyboards respectively) and our good old buddy, Christopher Powell of Man Man (who curated December's Grant$ episode and played along with Sufjan Stevens in Cat Martino's episode in 2012). On backup vocals we enlisted the help of Becca Kauffman and Felicia Douglass of Brooklyn's Ava Luna from June 2012 episode. Lastly, I produced the song, and Jonathan Low engineered and mixed it.
The basic was recorded to Miner Street's 2 inch 16 track Ampex MM1200 tape machine. There wasn't a huge number of instruments on this recording, but the original tracks clocked in to something like 7 minutes 30 seconds, before we cut it dramatically. What does that mean? Well…. for one thing there's a LOT of extra music for you to play with. You may keep things we didn't or chop it down even further?
Very Important:
When you remix the track, please name and credit the file like this:
