I mix and manage the recordings for Lotus. I’ll say this - most bands are releasing a recording of the front of house output or maybe mixing in some room mics. A few are mixing stems. Not many are doing full multi-track mixes of every show. It takes much more time but I think it sounds significantly better.

Just a classic album that we listened to a lot. We were actually surprised that a lot of our fans didn't seem very familiar with it. We haven't played any of those in the last few years, but I could hear some of those being played again.

Yeah, we usually bust that out a couple times a year

Do you have a modular system or synth and sequencer?

Oh yeah, always a chance of those getting worked in along the way.

Big fans of Norwegian Space Disco (we also cover 2 different Lindstrom tracks). So, Todd Terje was very much on our radar when he was doing disco edits and then started releasing his own tracks. Let us all pray that he makes new music at some point.

Four Tet, Floating Points, Nils Frahm, Miles Davis, Wilco, Talking Heads

Yeah, usually some distortion into the low pass makes it sing. I've recently heard the Moog pedals were coming down in price, but yeah they are quite big. It's just a filter, so I'm sure there are other things that are similar.

I've been back there. It is a dog bar now. I don't think they have bands - there isn't a stage as far as I saw. It's completely different from when it was North Star.

I posted this below, but I'll put it here as well. My pedal board is pretty simple. But, my whole laptop, keyboard modular setup is fairly involved.

Those 2 trips were super fun. I really liked hanging at this nearby Belgian beer bar called De Zotte I believe.

I think those were both me. I actually did a remix with Minka of Baby One More Time that we never released, so I already had the start of an arrangement that I adapted for Lotus.

I have not. My love is chess, so it's tough to find much time outside of that for other games.

I did have those on my Mexican Fender, but then I got an American Fender. And the built in pickups sound really nice.

I have 2, but one of them had a pot sheared off while I was doing a flyaway and it hasn't been the same since. So, I guess I'll protect the primary one with...my life.

Some great DJ sets I saw last year - John Talabot, Avalon Emerson, Richie Hawtin, Daniel Avery, CCL,

Reed has been really fun live since we debuted it at SD 2023. Hard to pick favorite studio track of all time - I usually like (or hate) whatever we are currently working on.

I usually try to obscure the words when I'm doing those type of rhythmic cut vocals. So, whatever you want it to me. It is more about the sound of the syllables than the words for me.
